A Bear Decides to Walk Over and Then Sit Down by a Man. What Happens Next? Wow!

bear sits next to guy

If you can avoid it, it's best to stay away from a bear. If you ever should encounter one in the wild it's likely the bear will be afraid of you unless they sense you have food or you come across one of their cubs. In those occasions, it's likely that a bear will become threatening.

So if you come across a bear how are you supposed to act? It's best to give the bear as much space as possible… without running away. Black bears are less likely to cause you harm but it's not always the same case with a grizzly bear.

It's best just to back away slowly, make yourself appear large, and get out of their turf.

If a bear shows up out of the blue you can also try speaking in a calm voice while slowly backing away. And if the bear attacks — which you should hope to God he does not — then fight back!

If you have bear spray or another weapon then hopefully you can use this to get away.

On the video after the break check out a guy who was just hanging out by a stream when all of a sudden a bear decides to come over to him. What happens during this encounter! This is a crazy video you can't miss!

    It sitting down is the wow. It gets up and walks away. Save the click. I meant u haven’t seen it click. But there is nothing to wow over.

    That’s awesome but did you ever hear about the bear that enlisted in the military during ww2!

    Haven’t really heard much of him since before new years, so….

    It seems bears tend to get in humans’ spaces mainly over fish. My guess is the guy had caught some, or the bear suspected he was catching some?

    What happens next!? Wow!
    Yep. Amazing. The bear walked away….
    Admittedly, a close in counter, no doubt- …but “what happens next” shouldn’t be the title.

    We have some around here but that one looks more like someone in a well made costume than a real bear. I’ve had them 20-30 yards from me in the woods plenty of times (I was above in a treestand most of the times).

    Fake yawning, lip licking, panting…just classic signs of stress. Nothing to worry about.

    Man! I’d be looking like Beaker from sesame street. With a look of dred slowly turning my head to the left to look at him. Lolol

    A Bear Hug is Usually Appropriate as long as he’s Friendly which this one seems to be, followed by Good Food to Take You Off his Menu.
