The bears you see in zoos and documentaries might be cute, but this isn’t an animal you’d want to get close to. For people who live in regions known for bears, like Alaska and Montana, they’ll tell you this animal can cause major property destruction and physical harm to humans.
Black bears
So, black bears aren’t as large as grizzly’s but they still pose just as much danger. This species can reach on average, 400 pounds, and measure up to seven feet long. With massive claws, large teeth, and undeniable strength, you don’t ever want to come face-to-face with one.
A man did
One guy decided to spend a day lounging by the pool. Considering it was hot outside, he could take a dip in the water when he wanted and then dry off in the sun. That sounds like a great way to enjoy downtime.
Not an ordinary day
But what this guy didn’t realize is that a simple day of relaxation would turn into a story that reached around the globe. Many people said without the video surveillance, they’d never believe this happened. But it did.
Taking a siesta
A lot of people take a nap while relaxing by a pool. The environment is so peaceful it’s hard to stay awake…especially if you’re the only one there. That’s what this guy did. After laying on a lounge chair for a little while, he ended up falling asleep.
An uninvited visitor
As the surveillance camera rolls, all you see is a man sleeping. But if you look closely at the bottom right-hand side, you’ll notice a strange object. At first, it’s hard to tell what it is. But soon, this visitor’s identity becomes quite clear.
A bear
That’s right, a black bear strolls into view. Although this appears to be a younger one, it doesn’t matter. Even a juvenile black bear can cause someone serious harm. Initially, the animal walks around slowly, almost confused as to where it is.
Heading toward the water
Remember, it was a hot day. So, this bear was probably looking for a way to cool down and possibly get a drink. At this point, it appears the animal is more interested in the pool than it is the man.
Still sleeping
The man who’s sleeping doesn’t have a clue that a bear is only feet from him. The animal takes a long drink of water. Hopefully, it’ll finish and then walk away in the same direction it came. But that’s not what happened next.
More investigating
No, this bear still had a little more investigating to do. That’s when it turns around and walks straight toward the man who’s still oblivious to what’s going on. Soon, the bear starts to sniff the guy’s foot.
Way too close
But the bear isn’t done. It reaches up with its huge paw and touches the man’s foot. That startles the guy who quickly raises his head. Thankfully, his movement also startled the bear. As the man sits up, this gorgeous creature scampers off.
This guy probably thought it was all a bad dream…but it wasn’t. Thanks to a video posted online, you can see the whole thing unfold. Just click on it below.
