So, I'd like to imagine how this GoPro Camera became abandoned.  And of course, I like to imagine the worst possible scenario:  person chased by wild bear, running for his/her life and in the process of rapid retreat, the camera falls to the ground never to be seen again.  Of course the truth is probably far different, like...it slipped out of someone's purse.  Anyway, what is irrefutable, is that this camera had been in the woods for a long time.  And before a hiker discovered it (and retrieved the contents of its SD card), a bear discovered it, and decides to see how tasty it was.

I literally sat mesmerized watching this, just waiting for a final, epic crunch as the beast bites through the camera's plastic.  It never came.  Dang.  So, I was only treated to the equivalent of a VERY extensive, GoPro dental exam of a bear.  Very cool tho, right?
