My Hero
While unable to properly show his gratitude to the bear that saved him, Robert was convinced that this ferocious mother had intervened in order to rescue him from a fate worse than he could have ever imagined. They had locked eyes, and that was when he realized that he and this animal had crossed paths before. The bear had remembered him, even if he had not. Talk about an unlikely friendship!

If you feel like this tale is a bit too tall for your liking, you are not alone. The California Department of Fish and Game weighed in on Robert’s crazy story, and they were not convinced either. Andrew Hughan, a wildlife official, claimed that his “evidence” was full of holes. They decided to take things a step further with a series of DNA tests taken from the blood on Biggs’ backpack, which failed to find any trace of animal interference. According to DFG’s Kirsten Macintyre, “All of the evidence – the lab results, an investigation at the scene, and the scratches on Mr. Bigg’s arm— is inconsistent with a mountain lion attack.” Believe it or not, Robert’s story is highly entertaining!
