Man prevents bear from killing him by grabbing its tongue

[PawPaw]

So this guy is being mauled by a bear, and grabs its tongue.

“When I opened up my eyes it was on top of me – with the friggin’ noise, it’s crazy the way it growls. Right from the stomach. It’s not from the mouth, it’s just inside. His mouth was wide open right in front of my face so the last thing I remember I had his tongue in my hand and I didn’t want to let go because he was trying to fight me off. So he was hitting me with his claws, so I says, ‘If you’re going to hurt me, I’m going to hurt you too.’ So he was biting his tongue at the same time,” said Cyr.

He's telling the story, so he survived. That guy is badass.

He's lucky that bear didn't have the moves like Jagger.

You're one meme behind in this conversation.

I heard this on the radio today, and I'm still calling shenanigans unless he has video proof.

This is just a Great White North version of the original Crocodile Dundee/Paul Bunyan/Davy Crockett yarns.

Generally, you don't grab the tongue.
You reach past it, down the bear's throat, grab its tailbone, and jerk sharply, in order to turn the bear inside out.

Then you wink, and buy a round of drinks to keep from getting beaten to death by the mob. Evidently some gullible young reporteur from Canuckistan wasn't in on the caper, and didn't feel the teller of this tale firmly yanking on his leg.

Or as my Dad used to threaten, reach down its throat, grab it by the asshole, and turn it inside out.
