Bear alert issued in Meteora after cow mauled

Authorities in central Greece are warning nature enthusiasts in the broader area of Meteora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular year-round destination, to be on the lookout for bears or any traces that they may be in the vicinity. 

The warning came after two cyclists came across a dead cow that had been gutted by a wild animal near the Monastery of Ypapanti. 

Footprints around the dead animal pointed to a bear as the culprit.
