This may be the scariest video of the month … a super curious bear saw some women, approached them, sniffed them, stood up and apparently hugged them, and they lived to tell the tale!
It occurred on Saturday in Mexico at the Chipinque Ecological Park. You see the bear at one point putting its paw on one of the women, almost stroking it.
As most people know, bears often attack when people panic or run, and how can you not when a bear is on you?
Well these people are amazing. They remain clams, and almost immobile, while 2 men in the background try to chase the bear away by speaking out loud.
The bear has finally had enough and is leaving, and boy … can you just imagine the heart rate of those women.
So this is what the authorities say about black bears that get too close … “Keep calm, never stand between a baby and its mother, do not go near or feed them, take refuge and look at it, avoid photograph him or take selfies. “
Yes, selfies would be a real bad move.
