When I first saw the ankle picit threw up a red flag because no bear or animal could've done that kind of damage. Glad someone pointed it out and cleared it up or I'd've called BS.
OT- the link is a perfect example of how people re-mix everything into something different. At the top of the page it says a guy was attacked in his sleep then managed to get the bear off him then shoot it. At the bottom of the page, he ran, tripped over a rock, was pounced on,then a fellow camper shot the bear.
