They were being careful as possible, but this big bull suddenly rose up and bit their boat in half. No, he wasn't trying to eat them, but the effect wasn't much different. And after all, most animal attacks, including bear attacks, are more territorial/defensively motivated rather than hunting activity. Around here, in the middle of prime grizzly country, we are more likely and just as afraid of stumbling across a moose having a bad day as a bear.
