This is an incredible story but I believe it. Old, starving, desperate predators who have already invested a ton of energy into whatever prey they stumble across can't really afford to abandon the pursuit because they'd just die anyway.

 

[cheststrongwell]

I call bullshit. She only brought one beer?

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

A wolf that's old and skinny isn't going to pester a full grown human and a dog for 12 hours. I think it's completely made up.

Hey fellas, we got ourselves a real Davie Attenborah ova heer.

 

[ThisOne]

Hey fellas, we got ourselves a real Davie Attenborah ova heer.

Someone already made that joke. Based on responses in this thread, I'm not alone in believing this is mostly if not completely made up.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Wow, she was ready to sacrifice a baby bear to save her own skin?

I can't even

I'd skin a baby bear if it meant saving my own skin

 

[MrToughPants]

Likely bullshit like the other starving wolf encounter that made the news in Manitoba.

 

[NaturalHigh]

need to see receipts

Yeah. A story is exactly what this is but then again how would you make that tale up?

Her comment about not knowing which animal attacked who first. Judging by the caution displayed by the wolf all of the hours following. I'm going to take a stab at it and say theres a 98% chance the bear initiated combat.

I'd skin a baby bear if it meant saving my own skin

If you got your hands on a baby bear you would probably be dead soon after.

 

[bootsthecat]

Why's her face so dirty? Camouflage? Australian sunscreen?

 

[CadetMahoney]

Dont believe it. Wolves hunt in packs.

IGN 8/10

[wenis]

Smells like bullshit to me. Lady got lost in the woods, made up a story to make it sound more exciting.

12 hours to make up a fantastical story after getting lost in the woods. You'd have the time to come up with some crazy shit.

 

[vikki]

Where was her camera phone?

I can't even tell... if you are being sarcastic or not because gaf.

Dennis is always serious

 

[psynergylover]

this is his how "The Grey" was supposed to be!

 

[MIMIC]

1.

"I think he was weak. He didn't look healthy. He looked old to me ... I don't think he wanted to take us both on."

That is fucking badass.

And 2. HOLY SHIT @_@

 

[Imperfected]

I don't understand why she thought the beer can saved her life.

You can drink water without a can, lady.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

That's a pretty neat made up story to explain getting lost in the wilderness.

 

[Zynx]

Clicked the link to see if there was a video or pictures of the story...can't find any.

Sounds fishy.

 

[Einchy]

Can't wait for the movie.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

"I've made a huge mistake."

 

[littlebigman]

Wow, she was ready to sacrifice a baby bear to save her own skin?

I can't even

First bears can't win Oscars, now they're totally expendable? Smh

 

[Finaika]

Why didn't her dog fight the wolf?

 

[Forerunner]

Totally believable.

 

[Hidden One]

Wow, she was ready to sacrifice a baby bear to save her own skin?

I can't even

Uhhh wat

 

[LosDaddie]

Wow, she was ready to sacrifice a baby bear to save her own skin?

I can't even

I love you

 

[Wanace]

Wow, she was ready to sacrifice a baby bear to save her own skin?

I can't even

I lol'd

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Wow, she was ready to sacrifice a baby bear to save her own skin?

I can't even

Dood. If i could run faster than you from a wolf or bear, I would.

 

[triplestation]

show me the receipts

 

[FullMetaltech]

I bet she made this shit up.

Probably the schrooms talking

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

Why's her face so dirty? Camouflage? Australian sunscreen?

I'd feast on that

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Yeah

Dont believe it. Wolves hunt in packs.

Goblins hate fire

 

[watdaeff4]

I don't think her plan ever involved the wolf actually getting to the baby bear, she knew the mother bear would get there first and attack the wolf.

That just means she sacrificed the wolf to protect her own skin

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Smells like bullshit to me. Lady got lost in the woods, made up a story to make it sound more exciting.

Totally this, The whole thing sounds like a poorly written fairy tale,


"A skinny, tall wolf, stalking her and her dog for 12 hours while she is picking mushrooms in a bucket.."

OOokay there big, lying Ridinghood.

 

[Apt101]

The film should star Seth Rogen as an aging woman IMO.

 

[ezrarh]

12 hours to make up a fantastical story after getting lost in the woods. You'd have the time to come up with some crazy shit.

Especially if she's picking up and eating mushrooms.

 

[CitizenCope]

Fascinating "story"

ftfy

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

If I got lost in the woods for 12 hours with my pet dog, and all I had to eat and drink was a can of beer and some mushrooms, and then finally the cops found my sorry ass...Out of embarrassment and guilt... You'd bet your ass I'd come up with a fantastical story consisting of being chased by a wolf and a bear and cubs and shit.

 

[K.Jack]

Or we'd be reading a story about how a bear cub and its mum were found snacking on a woman who got too close.

Story sounds like layered bullshit. No sane person would risk angering an adult bear over one old, lone wolf. And one old, lone wolf wouldn't suddenly say "1v1 me bro" to an adult bear.

Or maybe she picked the wrong mushrooms and tripped the fuck out for 12 hours.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

Wolves are smart animals. Common sense or not, I just find it hard to believe that a wolf would behave like this. It continued to follow her after she heard a bear near her? The wolf didn't hear the bear or what?

Cool meme

Well how do we know if the wolf heard the bear or not, as she said she saw the cub and not the mother. I dont think the wolf was considering a bear at the moment that its starving and it found food that it sensed was scared and not that agile in comparison.

Maybe fake maybe real but these ideas can go to so many of those cop threads where we only see a basic story of what happened without being able to see what actually happneed leading up to the major event, but thos threads are full of people thinking one of the people were completely wrong an we always have no idea

 

[L00P]

Yeah,I don't buy her story one bit

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

You cant even what? Understand what a person does to survive?

Edit: if this is sarcasm then I apologise, I honestly cant tell anymore on the internet

dumbass wouldn't be in that situation if she hadn't gone to an area that recently went through a forest fire to pick shrooms.

I don't think the hunting habits of wolves fall under common sense.

well since wolves have been studied for a while, they would since we know lots about it.
not buying the stalking for 12 hours bit.

 

[adamsappel]

Could be a fake. Still a cool story, bro.

If you got your hands on a baby bear you would probably be dead soon after.

Scariest words you can hear in the forest: "Oh, look, a bear cub."

I don't understand why she thought the beer can saved her life.

You can drink water without a can, lady.

I get the feeling she just poured the beer out. That's crazy!

 

[zeemumu]

Was the dog okay?

 

[wesleyshark]

Wow, she was ready to sacrifice a baby bear to save her own skin?

I can't even

Spoiler

Lol @ your quality snark

 

[Hoodbury]

I don't get what she means when she says that one can of beer saved her life? Did she drink the beer and then fill the can up with lake water? That doesn't sound safe to drink.

 

[SpaceWolf]

The woman who cried wolf.

 

[Carlius]

Wow, she was ready to sacrifice a baby bear to save her own skin?

I can't even

id sacrifice my mother in order to survive something...

 

[Sephzilla]

Came to post this

Wow, she was ready to sacrifice a baby bear to save her own skin?

I can't even

High quality bait right here

 

[NobleGundam]

What are the chances that they managed to come near a cub and its mother while being chased by a wolf?

 

[Calvero]

Wow, she was ready to sacrifice a baby bear to save her own skin?

I can't even

lmao

 

[Imperfected]

I don't get what she means when she says that one can of beer saved her life? Did she drink the beer and then fill the can up with lake water? That doesn't sound safe to drink.

Putting the lake water in a beer bottle makes it bottled water, which is safe to drink.
