This would get the old heart pumping a little harder than normal.
I mean, they also could have moved to a better spot and practice better bear aware safety by trying to scare the thing off. But, that’s besides the point…
This would make just about anyone nearly soil their trousers out of pure fear.
Grizzly bears are a beast of animal, hunting for almost everything they eat. A large grizzly can weigh north of 1,500 pounds, but even a small one is a big animal. Naturally, you just don’t want to have a close encounter with these animals… just the thought of what they could do to a person is enough to make you avoid that situation.
And yet, even though they are ferocious beasts, everyone can’t help but admire their beauty. The massive animal is just cool to see in action.
This group of fishermen encounter a young grizzly while they were standing on a bridge. As the grizz slowly walks across the bridge towards them, they just stand there filming.
Doesn’t seem like the smartest idea…
When the grizzly gets right next to them, it lunges at them as if to say “I could take you down if I wanted to,” but luckily, they were spared by the bear who continued to mosey on down the bridge.
The people yell and the bear just continues on without a worry in the world.
Time for a change of pants…
Woman Has Frightening Encounter With Charging Grizzly
The suspense is killing me.
A woman was just enjoying her day in the woods in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada, sitting at the shore of a river, when she came in close contact with some unwanted company…
And I’m talking about a mama grizzly bear and a couple of her cubs.
In the video, you see the bears chilling in the river, as the videographer stands a less than comfortable distance away.
However, things get way more nerve racking quick, when the curious bears decide to slowly make their way towards the woman.
After a brief false charge, she eventually backs up into the water and moves along the shore to keep her distance, but the curious cubs keep coming.
Next thing you know… one cub (who isn’t all that tiny itself) is only a few feet away from her, to the point where she could probably reach her hand out and pet one of them (I highly don’t suggest doing this, by the way).
And that’s when mama bear comes CHARGING into the water after our hiker.
It’s unclear if she ever makes contact with one of them, but you would think she was getting mauled by the way she was reacting.
However, she must’ve made it out of the situation alright (she clearly was able to submit the footage), but damn if that isn’t a close call.
As she said in the caption:
“Two curious grizzly cubs and a young momma bear. Momma was terrified from all the people and dogs at the river and was just trying to keep her curious cubs safe.”
