Those are awesome, scary photos! The man's injuries are horrible to look at. However, the Snopes urban legend website suggests that the photo of the foot injury may be unrelated to the bear attack... One Tough Camper snopes.com Origins: The photographs reproduced above appear to be genuine, but we don't yet have any details about when, where, and the circumstances under which they were taken. The dimensions of the last photograph (the one that shows a severe ankle injury) are different than the others, and several readers have indicated they've seen that picture previously (and separately) circulated with text identifying it as the result of a shotgun blast (or other gun-related injury), so quite possibly it did not come from the same source as the polar bear attack photos.
