Though bears are not ferocious, they can turn aggressive towards humans in self-defence when they sense any threat or for protecting their young ones. However, the probable threats from bears can’t be ignored.
Wildlife explorers certainly might have come across situations when they confront bears in the wild. With skills, knowledge and years of experience, explorers can escape from bear attacks. However, without any practical experience, it would be challenging for anyone to escape from a bear while enjoying the wild for the first time.
Here we bring two videos that will probably give you insights into the best ways to stay safe from a bear.
In the first video, three girls can be seen standing still in the wild while an adult bear is seen standing along with them. The bear rests its forelegs on a girl and seems to be sniffing her. Suddenly, the bear pulls the girl and steps down. Again it stands on its hind legs while keeping its forelegs on the girl. Meanwhile, one of the girls steps ahead. A while later, the bear steps down and moves on its way.
In another video, a group of visitors can be seen enjoying photography nearby a river in Alaska. Suddenly, a brown bear charged at them aggressively. However, without panicking, the visitors started yelling out loud and charged at the bear. The guide encouraged the visitors to make noise which scared away the bear.
Running away from the bear would have triggered the bear’s hunting instinct. So, it the best way to remain safe from a bear’s attack is to stand still without any movement or make loud noises to scare away the wild animal.
Both the videos shared on Twitter by CCTV IDIOTS have gone viral on social media. Though the origin of the videos couldn’t be confirmed, users expressed their gratitude for the insights they got from the videos.
