Wolves in Alaska are suspected of killing a teacher in an isolated village while she was out jogging.

An autopsy has revealed that Candice Berner, 32, died of injuries sustained in an animal attack, officials said.

Her body was dragged off a rural road, leaving a bloody track, into the nearby bush and was surrounded by wolf tracks.

Police said wolves in the area had been aggressive recently. If confirmed, it is believed to be the first fatal wolf attack in the US in 50 years.

The Alaska State Medical Examiner said Ms Berner's cause of death was "multiple injuries due to animal mauling".

Col Audie Holloway, of the Alaska State Troopers, said: "There's no other carnivores in that area that are out and active.

"There were wolf tracks all around the body, and drag marks associated with those tracks."

Ms Berner had moved to Alaska from Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, in August to work as a special needs teacher in the small community of Chignik Lake, about 474 miles (760km) south of Anchorage.

She had been training for long-distance running, a regional school official said.

Why doesn't that state Governor feed those hungry bastards? Air drop about 30 chickens or maybe a couple hundred pounds of Kibbles and Bits down into the wolf region? Seriously, I know nature is nature, but shit, obviously the lunch counter up there in Alaska for the wolves is a little bare now.

Makes sense doesn't it?

I thought the whole reason for collecting wolf paws was so that the population would be thinned out enough not to have to resort to foraging near urban areas because of depleted food sources.

I wouldn't jog or picnic in Alaska unless in a group and some had shotguns. Where the deer and the antelope play( lyrics from an old Gene Autrey song) are appropriate for Alaska if the lyrics are changed to where the Grislies, huge moose, wolves and maybe even bigfoot play i.e. hunt prey. Here in Cincinnati ,suburbs about 12 mile out are plagued with deer, coyotes and maybe some bobcat.

When you see the ocean you're looking west
When you see the mountains, you're looking north
When you see the golden wheat, you're looking east
When you see hand gun crime and people with no health care, you're looking at America

That bullshit sport with skis and a rifle might be the solution to this.
