A Boy Scout got a rude awakening in the early hours of the morning of Sunday, 1 May, when a bear bit through his sleeping bag at Tom Jones Shelter in Harriman State Park and set about gnawing on his leg.
“I felt a really quick, sharp sensation, a pain in my leg,” Henry Ayers, 12, told ABC 7. “I look up, and it was a giant bear. I thought it was a nightmare. It was honestly crazy I didn’t think I was awake.”
