http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/10/us/colorado-glacier-view-ranch-camp-bear-attack/index.html(CNN)A camp staffer at a Christian summer camp in Colorado received medical care after he was made awake early Sunday by a bear chewing on his head.
The 19-year-old said that he thought he was dreaming as he heard a "crunching sound," only to wake up in "immense pain" as the black bear attempted to drag him away from the Glacier View Ranch campsite, Colorado Parks & Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill told CNN.

(4,742 posts)3. I want to like camping...
I like camp fires...I like outdoors...I like eating stuff you cook on a campfire...etc.
But when it comes to bed time I want air conditioning or heat, I want a fluffy pillow, a soft bed, a shower, and no bugs. Yes I'm a big wienie. Oh, and I don't want a bear to eat my head.

(33,384 posts)8. extremely unusual behavior for a grizzly, let alone a black bear.
the bear must have been desperately hungry.
also: "he was made awake"? was this story written in Chinese first?
