It doesn’t state which species of bear attacked them, but if it was an Asiatic Black Bear? it’s not surprising the guys were badly injured. Those bears might not be very big, and look quite comical when they are ambling around, but they can be bad bastards, and there’s plenty of cases on record (and a few video clips) of them fucking people up.

Sun Bears can fuck people up pretty badly too.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I was curious about them, but too lazy to look them up to determine their “badness”
I know they’re nothing special size wise, and have very short hair.

They are the smallest bears but can still weigh 65 kg and have big teeth and claws.
The sun bear is known to be exceptionally aggressive and will attack without cause. Having such large canines, extremely strong jaws and long claws, it is said to be one of the most dangerous animals to encounter in the jungle.
