A man near Grand Falls, New Brunswick in Canada fought off a bear during an attack two weeks ago. Gilles Cyr was walking through his woodlot when the bear struck suddenly. <br /><br />This is how he explained what happened to CBC<br /><br />"It was just a black spot that came out of the bushes, 5-feet ahead from me. And it hit me so... last thing I remembered, that it hit me, so 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. <br /><br />"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, probably" he said.<br /><br />The interviewer asked him if he was scared.<br /><br />"For a second, I thought I was dead, yeah ... that's the first thing that comes to your mind when you open your eyes and see that friggin' mouth full of teeth and a tongue in there. It's like ... an extreme sport," he said with a chuckle. <br /><br />Cyr escaped behind a tree, but not before the bear took a swipe at his belly and bit his knee. Eventually, the wild beast lost interest and walked away. <br /><br />Cyr suffered superficial wounds which were treated at a hospital. <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
