Fears have been raised a missing Australian hiker in Albania could have been mauled to death by a bear.
South Australian man Cameron Twiss, 28, was last seen on October 13 after setting off on a 17km trail between Valbona and Theth in the Albanian Alps, a popular and busy track for tourists.
Mr Twiss was reportedly travelling alone without a guide.
Police and Albania and Kosovo Mountain Search and Rescue Service volunteers spent two frustrating weeks searching on foot, and in helicopters and with drones for the missing Australians.
On Saturday, an Albania Search and Rescue Service volunteer said it was possible Mr Twiss could have been attacked by a brown bear.
Such attacks are extremely rare with only 200 of the predators still in the wild, but some of the animals are known to be in the vicinity of the track.
