But despite his brush with death, Mr Nilssen said he was not angry at the bear, speculating that it carried out its unusual attack on humans because it was hungry.
Nothing gets by that guy.

Except for Polar Bears sneaking over his trip line and into his tent. They sneak right past.

The only reason polar bear attacks on humans are unusual is because there aren't many humans where the polar bears are, and the humans have learned to be cautious. Polar bears are a top predator and strictly carniverous, unlike grizz, so they would have no hesitation about attacking a human.
One guy's theory is that grizz are as cautious as they are is because there used to be an ueberbear in NA, twice the size of a grizz, so they still carry that fear around with them.
