The child's mother and two-year-old brother remained in critical condition Friday after the bear attack, which occurred Thursday afternoon according to forest officials.
The incident took place on Chilhowee Mountain near a campsite which has since been closed, while forest officials continued on Friday to search for the bear.
Bear attacks in the area are a rare occurrence but they do happen, officials said, quoted by the Times Free Press.
