Awas mauled after attempting a selfie with bear.
Gallacher had embarked on a bear hunt and ended up getting caught.
A 72-year-old Scottish tourist, Moira Gallacher, was bitten and mauled by a brown bear after trying to take a photograph out of the window. by a big one.
The incident occurred when Gallacher tried to take a photograph of some brown bears.
Last month, Gallacher was driving around the Carpathian Mountains in Romania with her friend, Charmian Widdowson.
The incident occurred when she stopped to try and take a photograph of some brown bears.
The pair had arrived in Bucharest on Sunday (21 April) and on Monday (22 April) they took a road trip to the Carpathian Mountains and bumped into two bears - a mother and baby.

Widdowson recalls that the bears were 'gorgeous' but their looks turned out to be deceiving. She told STV News the mother bear appeared 'hungry' and probably thought Gallacher 'was going to be lunch'.
When the pair decided to roll down one of the car's windows to take a better picture, one of the bears saw its opportunity and bit Gallacher in the arm.
Gallacher was 'wearing a thick Marks and Spencer jacket' so the 'poor bear got more jacket than arm," Widdowson jokes.
Widdowson believes the bear attacked her friend because it overheard them talking about food.
Gallacher was taken to hospital where the manager of the Curtea de Arges Municipal Hospital Andreea Gheordunescu confirmed a 'foreign patient' was 'presented with wounds on her right hand, wounds caused by a bear bite'.
Gallacher resolved: "I was wearing a padded jacket and a top and another top - that’s what saved my arm. I’ve been very, very lucky.
The shock has set in today, but everything’s OK now." She was reportedly discharged from hospital a few days later.
Previously, this is not the first time the tourist was attacked by wild animals.
The female tourist who tried to take a selfie with a bison at a US national park has been condemned for acting with little regard for her own safety, although luckily she was not injured.
During the clip, which was filmed at the park, TouronsOfYellowstone went viral on social media.
The video shows one woman reaching out and trying to touch the bison, while another holds up her phone to take a photo.
However, the peaceful moment was abruptly interrupted when the beast was disturbed while eating, causing it to react and attack the female tourist.
Frightened, she ran away and fell to the ground, while the onlookers shouted in fear.
Fortunately, the female tourist escaped injury as the animal did not respond. However, this reckless behavior has drawn criticism and sparked anger among many.
