The owner of a woodlot near Grand Falls N.B. told the CBC he’s lucky to be alive after a bear attacked him in the forest.
Gilles Cyr was out for a walk through his woodlot when suddenly a large black object ran out of the woods and attacked him. To prevent the bear from killing him, Cyr grabbed its tongue in a desperate bid for survival.
“When I opened up my eyes it was on top of me – with the friggin’ noise, it’s crazy the way it growls.
Right from the stomach. It’s not from the mouth, it’s just inside. His mouth was wide open right in front of my face so the last thing I remember I had his tongue in my hand and I didn’t want to let go because he was trying to fight me off. So he was hitting me with his claws, so I says, ‘If you’re going to hurt me, I’m going to hurt you too.’ So he was biting his tongue at the same time,” said Cyr.

ReplyDeleteWow! Small world.
DeleteYep ;-)
DeleteI believe the furthest thing from my mind would have been grabbing the tongue.:)
DeleteMaybe it's a Canadian Thing... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if poking the eyes would have had similar results.... don't they teach that in self defense somewhere's?
Yes, I believe so.
