Shocking photos- Man mauled by bear after teasing the animal with food

 It was just like a scene out of Leonardo Di Caprio's award winning movie, The Revenant as an enormous bear mauled a man after he allegedly teased with the beast by dangling food above its jaws.

Naiphum Promratee, 36 and his friends had gone to a temple in rural Phetchabun province, Thailand,when he was reportedly seen holding a bowl of rice above the huge bear before it suddenly snatched him into its enclosure.
The animal knocked him unconscious as it dragged him back towards its cage.

 After failed attempts to rescue him,one of the group ran into the enclosure and battered the bear in its cage with a pole while friends rescued Naiphum.

Naiphum was rushed to hospital where he is now recovering and able to talk.
