A North Carolina jogger narrowly avoided being badly mauled by a mother bear defending her cub earlier this month — and there are photos showing he survived with just gnarly scratches to prove it.

Bill Palas of Asheville says he was running on the trails in Pisgah National Forest, which borders his yard, on the morning of July 7 when he crossed paths with a bear cub, according to WLOS.
"When you see a cub like that, there’s usually a mom around,” he recalled.
“So I go and I turn around real quick – and all of a sudden, there I see the momma bear.”
The experienced trail runner waved his hands and yelled as the large female bear charged him, he told the outlet.
She diverted down a hill before returning with her claws in full force.
