A North Carolina man has explained what it was like to be attacked by a bear while out for a run near his home. Bill Palas, of Asheville, was running one of his usual routes on July 7 when he came across a bear cub that appeared to be alone.
"When you see a cub like that, there’s usually a mom around," he told local news network WLOS (article contains graphic photos). "So, I go and I turn around real quick – and all of a sudden, there I see the momma bear."
