GRAPHIC WARNING A severely wounded man described as a “speaking mummy” has been rescued from a bear den where a beast had dragged him as a future meal. Named only as Alexander, he was found by hunting dogs around one month after he was overpowered by the predator in Russia’s remote Tuva region. Close to death, the emaciated man was rushed to hospital where he was diagnosed with a broken spine from his fight with the brown bear, say reports.
He told doctors a large predator had overpowered him. “The bear preserved me as food for later,” he explained. He drank his own urine to survive, he said. Medics say it is a “miracle” that he is alive. A group of Russian hunters found Alexander after their dogs barked and refused to move on from a bear den they passed in the forest in mountainous Tuva, say reports.
The story is reported by major Russian newspaper Izvestia and appears to originate from news agency EADaily.
But a spokesman at the health ministry in Tuva Republic, a region in southern Siberia, told East2West News today: “We cannot confirm the case happened in Tuva.
“It was not registered by the Ministry of Health, the Emergencies Ministry or any other official body (in the region).
“Most probably, it happened somewhere outside Tuva.”

A month in a bear den
No food
No water
Drank his urine
Not sure I’m buying it
This might be fake news ?
The bear was quoted as saying, “After three times, he wasn’t just here for the hunt.”
Daniel hung out with a group of lions and came out OK.
What urine?
Disney/Pixar to adapt the story into a film and the bear and guy starts singing and dancing 3...2...1
This looks like something we would read in the Weekly World News!
Not necessarily. There are compression fractures to vertebrae that dont displace anything.
The bear would have to be pretty hungry. Humans are not that tasty to any animals. How many animals wear a deodorant?
“hunters......saw what they believed was human mummy, until they RELEASED he was alive.”
RELEASED? This is an ostensible ENGLISH newspaper- not proofread by an editor.... or maybe, it was.
RELEASED= Realized. Honestly, glaring stupid content error.
Not buying it either. In order to produce urine— one has to have... eventually drinking water. Urine has water, but being drunk as a source of water eventually— reduces the amount and will destroy the kidneys.
That said— also the rotting wounds, for a month- and this was not in subzero temps-— long ago become gangrene.
Not buying this at all, especially with the terrible English usage and wrong words in sentences.
This thread is useless without grisly (grizzly) pictures. LOL
Are we red meat, white meat or dark meat?
This might be fake news ?

Maybe... but did you get a gander at the picture of the man?
The Brothers Grimm may want to have a word or two with this guy.
Obama’s all three.
Yeah, all kinds of red flags with this one.
