Suddenly, I was on my back being raked by the bear's claws. She bit me on both arms and, when I screamed in pain, she gave me a left hook to the face. Fighting back wasn't an option. I tried to roll on to my belly, and she bit my neck and started shaking me, though my backpack stopped her getting much purchase with her teeth.
The bear gave me a final whack on my backpack and retreated, making a huffing noise. Throughout the attack, which lasted maybe a minute, she hadn't growled once if anything, she seemed nervous.
