[The polar bear Chris is fighting is knocked back by the kick, which for a few seconds gives him enough an opening to get further away from the bear. It seems to be stunned enough by the kick that it doesn't immediately lunge.
Carol is momentarily distracted by Chris' fight that by the time she turns back and reaches for the camera, the bear's friend is already in front of her. She's caught off guard by the bear's speed, and right as she tries to freeze it, she feels a sudden, very sharp pain when she feels claws in her arm. She's hit hard enough that it knocks her down.
