Grizzly bear 'selfie'

A University of Cumbria student had a grizzly encounter when a bear tried to eat his camera.

John Kitchin, who's doing a PHD in Wildlife Conservation, was on a research project in Canada. He'd put cameras on a bridge across a salmon-bearing river at Glendale Cove, and this young female grizzly bear made a beeline for one of them.
