A bear 's head was sawed off by a rescue team after its jaws clamped onto a man's leg in a terrifying attack.
Bridger Petrini from Raton, New Mexico was taking his dogs out for a walk last month when he was confronted with a 400lb bear.
The huge animal ran towards Petrini and knocked him over the edge of the hill and both started rolling down the slope while the bear mauled him.
Luckily Petrini, 36, was armed with a pistol and managed to shoot the bear dead.
