My apologies if this has already been discussed and beaten to death, but I would love to know the story behind this bear. Remember this picture that made the rounds on the internet a number of years ago? Anyone know the real story behind it (there was a photo of a partially eaten man as well, but I will spare you)? How big the bear was? The head appears enormous. But, the guy is sitting quite a distance behind him.......
