摘要

Allen Minish was alone and surveying land for a real estate agent in a wooded, remote part of Alaska, puttingsome numbers into his GPS unit, when he looked up and saw a large brown bear walking about 30 feet away."I saw him and he saw me at the same time, and it's scary," Minish said by phone yesterday from his hospitalbed in Anchorage, a day after being mauled by the bear in a chance encounter.The mauling left Minish with a crushed jaw, a puncture wound in his scalp so deep that the doctor said he couldsee bone, lacerations and many stitches after a surgery that lasted 4 ½ hours. He also is wearing a patch overhis right eye and says the doctors are worried about it.
