An 18-year-old camper had a rough encounter with a black bear near Fairbanks Saturday.
Thomas Gilligan was awakened by the bear, which dragged him partially out of his tent in the Angel Rocks area.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner said Gilligan sustained scratches on his back, but no serious injuries.
“I was sleeping, and I heard it, but I thought it was my friends messing around,” Gilligan said.
