Bear knuckle fight: California man sends bruin fleeing with punch on the snout
|
Version 0 of 1. A northern California man says he punched a trespassing bear on the snout to send the animal fleeing from his property. Carl Moore told the Auburn Journal he acted on his boxer instincts when the bear rose up on two legs and turned towards him and his two dogs outside his Meadow Vista home. The 75-year-old says he boxed competitively in his youth and also waded into his fair share of fights as a bouncer. The encounter was witnessed by two friends and employees of Moore, who were inside his house when he encountered the bear on 20 April. They told the newspaper the commotion from the two dogs drew their attention and that they watched Moore land his blow. |
