Gordon Buchanan, a wildlife cameraman of 30 years who has worked with David Attenborough, was almost mauled to death by a hungry polar bear

Gordon Buchanan had a terrifying near-death experience with a polar bear BBC cameraman, Gordon Buchanan, has revealed the terrifying moment a polar bear decided he was on the menu and launched an attack. The wildlife filmmaker has worked in the industry for over 30 years, filming much for David Attenborough ’s nature documentaries. Sitting inches from predators never fazed Gordon, 52, until one day when a huge polar bear decided to launch an attack on him.

He continued to film, narrating the experience as if he wasn’t faced with certain death should the bear succeed in her onslaught. Eventually, just as Gordon was certain the cube would only withstand a few more blows from the heavy creature who was now on top of his shelter, the attack stopped. The bear decided he wasn’t worth the calories she had to exert to break in and with one look back she simply walked away.
