Dude Fights Off Bear with Shovel

Bear Undeterred, Forces Man to Smack It on Nose

Man Fought for His Life Against Wild Animal

A man was forced to fight for his life after a bear approached him in a small enclosure.

The man, who has not been identified, was alerted to the bear's presence by his dogs. He then sprang into action, growling and ultimately smacking the bear on the nose with a shovel.

The bear was undeterred and continued to move towards the man, forcing him to fight it off with the shovel.

• The man was eventually able to scare the bear away.
• He was not injured in the incident.
• The bear was not captured.

The incident is a reminder that bears are wild animals and should be treated with caution.

If you encounter a bear in the wild, do not approach it. Back away slowly and calmly. Do not run.

If a bear charges you, fight back with anything you can find. Aim for the bear's eyes, nose, and mouth.
