      Screwballs right? Then the video cuts off just before the raft they are filming from, drifts towards the bear. Did the bear cross to the other side? Did the bear 180 back to shore. Did it maul the raft. We just won't ever know.

  • @not2tees

    According to the bear, it was all a misunderstanding, as it was only protecting its dead elk carcass that the kayaker seemed to want to eat. "You always think it's all about you," said Smokey.

      No, the bear was after the kayaker, they cross at a different pace. That bear was on a mission. The kayaker is lucky the river was wide in that area and deep enough where he was forcing the bear to swim to reach him.

    1:33 “it was not concentrated solely on the kayaker” 😝. If he was guarding his food, I am sure he was well concentrated on who is taking his food. 🤣
