In a remarkable act of bravery, a man in Fort Severn, Canada, risked his life to save his wife from a polar bear attack. The incident occurred early one morning when the couple left their home to search for their dogs.

As they were in their driveway, a polar bear suddenly lunged at the woman. Without hesitation, the man leaped onto the bear to prevent it from harming his wife. The bear then turned its attention to the man, causing serious injuries to his arms and legs.

Fortunately, a neighbor arrived with a firearm and shot the bear, forcing it to retreat. The injured man was taken to the hospital and is expected to recover. While polar bear sightings are common in this area near Hudson Bay, attacks on humans are rare but not unheard of.
