Polar Bear TaG!

These pictures show how close one man came to being a polar bear's dinner. The target, a surveyor, was returning to his car in the remote town of Barrow, Alaska, when he saw the great white beast. With no time to unlock the door of his vehicle and climb inside, he tried to duck out of sight. But the hungry bear was not giving up, and a terrifying chase began. First, the beast stood up on its furry haunches and eyed its prey. Then it loped around the car, and even climbed over the bonnet to try to reach him. After a few laps of the car the bear almost caught up, managing to land a few heavy swipes on his prey. The man eventually managed to take refuge in a neighbouring truck which was unlocked. His back and head were covered in more than 100 deep scratches where the massive claws had managed to rip through his thick winter clothes and padded coat. Barrow is the northernmost town of the United States, 340 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

This happened in Kaktovik, not Barrow, and the guy didn't get hurt. I imagine he did have to change his shorts, though.

[ppl00125]

looks more to me like the bear was just playing or something. because i think the bear could have gotten the man if it really tried to...

THIS WAS NOT IN BARROW. IT WAS AT KAKTOVIK, ALASKA. AND THIS PERSON DID NOT GET SWIPED AT. HE MADE IT SAFELY IN A TRUCK. I SAW HIM THE NEXT DAY.. THIS IS A SMALL VILLAGE AND WE KNOW EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON HERE...... HE WAS NOT HARMED.. BUT HE IS VERY STUPID... HES FROM CANADA
