WATCH The Real Life Revenant: Woman Attacked By Bear Lives To Tell The Tale

The whole world seems to be talking about Leonardo DiCapri’s fictional bear attack in new movie The Revenant—but that’s nothing compared to Sue Aikens’ story.

In new documentary Life Below Zero, the Alaskan woman relives the very real bear attack that left her fighting for her life.

Sue was mauled by a bear and left for dead in freezing temperatures for 10 days as she waited to be found.

Describing the moment the bear bit into her skull, she said: “It’s very difficult to have something put its jaws on your head, you feel it going into your skull, you feel the skull being compromised, you’re hoping he doesn’t crush it.”

What a brave soul!

Life Below Zero airs tonight at 10pm on Travel Channel (Sky 249 / Freeview 150)
