Slovakia
This 64 year old hunter was walking home from the neighbouring village to his when he was attacked by a female bear. Although the man was carrying a gun the bear attacked with such suddenness that he had no time to use it.
As the bear attacked the man claimed to have somehow stuck his head into the bears mouth resulting in the damage you can see here. The bear left him injured on the ground and he crawled some 200 metres to his village. As well as serious facial injuries the elderly man was also left blind by the attack.
It is believed the bear had a litter of cubs, this might explain the attack which came with no warning.
