The bear wandered around and she thanked him for not eating her kayak. Then she made the mistake of pepper spraying him; that is when things took a turn for the worse. In revenge, he decided to eat her kayak after all.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10174\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10174\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10174 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/1011368_1280x720.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/1011368_1280x720.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/1011368_1280x720-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/1011368_1280x720-85x48.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10174\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.abclocal.go.com\/content\/ktrk\/images\/cms\/1011368_1280x720.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">{adinserter CNP5}<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>She begged him to stop, but he kept on going<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maley repeatedly screamed and shouted at the bear.
