I ended up having to kill this bear with some twine and a pair of tweezers that I had right after I took this shot. Poor thing.

That’s not fair Matt, He didn’t have any twine or tweezwrs to fight with did he?
Brilliant image mate well done!
Kathryn Potempski

I was in Alaska when I got this shot. I had just climbed up this mountain range and was getting ready to do a descent into a cave when…
...OK, I’m lying. It was at the Salt Lake Zoo. He just happened to look up right as I took the picture and we stared at each other for a few moments.
Thanks Kathryn and niffer.

and booboo,
I guess I blew it already. I was going to say that I had to use both arms to kill him, not just my left one, he was so strong. Like I said I blew it.
