If you recall the movie "Grizzly Man", an Inuit Indian was featured at one point saying, "We and the bears have always kept a respectful separation from each other for thousands of years. There is a reason why."

Contact with grizzlies/polar bears and humans can too often result in the death of one or both parties.
 
Man oh man!!!!!!! :eek:
That had to be the most terrifying thing ever!!!!!



At the end of that article, it says that the ankle pic is from a different story, unrelated to the polar bear story.
 
The dead polar bear, the mangled tent, the shredded back, didn't bother me. I almost puked up my dinner when I saw what was left of that ankle.
 
in my opinion there's no way that ankle injury is from a bear...
 
With or Without the Ankle that seriously sucks and he is lucky to be alive, I wonder how he got the bear off of him long enough to get a shot (or however many it took) into the bear to persuade it that he's not gonna be dinner tonight.

Yeah, the only other land species I'm aware of that routinely considers us "food" would be the mountain lion/cougar..

..but I imagine there are others in other areas of the world(?)
 
:eek::barf: WOW .... OOOOUUUUCCCCHHHH !!!!!!!! He is going to be real sore in the morning ! He had to be packing a S&W .500 mag or .454 cas. :cool:
 
So much for wearing a bikini this summer....

Man, I complain when I get a paper cut. This guy must be made of sterner stuff!

Snopes lists the ankle photo as not related ie shotgun blast from a different story but...

they do agree that he got his scalp ripped open

and snopes won't do a live photo link
 
Yeah, the last pic is a very old one of a shotgun blast to the ankle, not a bear injury.

I can say with a certain amount of certainty that'd it'd be hard for a polar bear to get a good grip on me as he'd be sliding around on about 70 pounds of poop I just discharged.

Most bears, including grizzlies (with the exception of the Kodiaks) haul balls when they see humans around (with certain exceptions, i.e. a kill or cubs are near). Polar bears just don't have enough human contact to consider us a threat, and often exhibit little to no fear of humans. We're just slow moving "meat with feet" to them.
 
What an encounter! Glad to see that guy could still sit up without support after such ordeal.
