A grizzly bear bit into a hunter’s arm and clawed the man’s face after he surprised the sow and her cub north of Yellowstone National Park on Oct. 13.

What could have been a potentially lethal encounter was averted thanks to the actions of a fellow hunter, who chased the grizzly away, according to a report by The Associated Press.
