: "The grizzly bear (a young male) chose the paddleboard after rejecting two kayaks and a canoe. First he stood on the paddleboard on the shore, then pushed it out into the water. He spent about four minutes playing with the board and trying to mount it, using his arms and teeth. He managed to get both arms and one leg up. Eventually, the bear gave up and splashed away, leaving the board floating in the middle of the bay. When we retrieved it later, it was covered with bite and claw marks. This took place in Alberta, Canada, in the Rocky Mountain."
