How can someone tell, in an audio recording of a man being eaten by a bear, that at one specific point, you are hearing his arm being separated from his body? I'd like to think that he narrated it while it was happening. But imma call BS on this one.


AHHHH NOT MY ARM.

Also, joints make a distinctive noise when being... decoupled. But I suspect the narration may have helped nail down which joint was in play.


He was alive and conscious for the 15 minutes of the attack. He may have screamed about his arm to his girlfriend.


It might make a rather distinctive sound, based on what I’ve heard from other large mammals being butchered.


And maybe the remaining physical evidence ruled out other limbs.
