I saw a show once where a wildlife cameraman was in a steel cage out on the ice. A hungry polar bear showed up, and the guy took video while the bear just BASHED and BIT the cage, ENRAGED that it couldn’t get at the tasty morsel inside. Bit the cage until his gums around his big, sharp teeth were bleeding.
