The Brown Bear
My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking
pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was
thin and small, moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right
behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy
but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned
back---- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold
April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear
rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod
stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I
would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and
my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect
my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could
not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six
times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was
actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun,
the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another
attack----- The first time I felt panic.
Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off,

destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could
hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic
could have led to a very different outcome.
