JAPANESE MAN FALLS INTO HOLE ON TOP OF HIBERNATING BEAR – Mar 16

A 69-year-old Japanese man was hiking with a female companion on snow-Iwakamiyama mountain. They wandered off of the hiking trail, and while trying to find their way back to it, the man stepped into a hole that was hidden by the snow. But he only went in up to his waist, because he fell on top of a hibernating bear. Startled, the bear bit the man on his left calf, and after the man jumped out of the hole, the bear followed him out into the snow. The bear moved to attack his companion, but the man poked at it with his hiking poles and the bear then fled off into the forest.
* Bears hate it when people drop in.
* I do the same thing when the kids wake me up. Bites on the calf. They don’t do it twice.
* He was on Iwakamiyama mountain. Which is what you yell when you step on a bear: “Iwakamiyamaaaaa!!!!”
* Other than that, how did they like the hike?
