    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.

      ​@@Kriptoker "oh the ignorance." Just your statement alone shows your ignorance. You brought up the "elk", well the bear slowed down his pace considerably after he closed-in on the other side of the river and was closer than the Kayaker was. So he clearly thought the Kayaker was a threat to this food!
