The man first sought shelter behind shrubs, which did not last long against the bear attack. Falling on his back, he reflexively tried to grab the beast’s lower jaw. “If you grab a dog’s lower jaw, it can’t bite you,” he explained. “So I had a hole in my hand with his molar, but he couldn’t shut his mouth.

The bear then let go and walked away, no longer seeing him as a threat. “I had blood everywhere. I rummaged in my pocket to call 911, I had to wipe the blood off the phone and in my eyes, constantly,” he tells KTUU-TV.

His doctors are also worried about his left eye.
