Cat Calling A Grizzly

[Fosgate]

Just standing there minding my own business...waiting to get violently killed and eaten by mother nature.

Holy smokes!  That thing could pop any one of us down his gullet like a popcorn shrimp.  And that dude's chillin' and filming like he's at the zoo?  Insane.

What a massive animal! Definitely questioning the intelligence of the guy filming the animal. Darwin award recipient in waiting...

Not to worry. That bear looks well fed... after eating the previous tourist who stood there filming him.

Well I did watch an episode of Alone and I recall that "hey bear" is what you are supposed to say when you encounter one.  Not a lot you can do when a bear rolls up on you.  If you run they can catch you no problem.  I don't know how this dude was able to hold the camera so still.

I would tend to agree with this.  If you don't already have a gun etc.  Probably best to just stand still and enjoy you last moment on earth in the presence of a an awesome animal,   If it decides to just walk off......bonus.     If it decides to crush you to bits and play with you whilst you're in agonising pain for the next few hours...........not so cool.

Wow that made me go a little bit cold. That’s death walking right past there.

Reminds me of the old show " When Animals Attack". 

I always said it should be called " When Stupid People Get Bit".

At that distance I reckon he figures why run. It'll just make him tired before he dies.

He's talking to him like he's a house cat that just got up from a nap.  I might not run, but I sure as hell wouldn't try and start a dialogue with him either.  Backing away slowly while quietly pissing my pants rather than trying to capture his attention seems like a better plan.

I would have to agree here. We are talking about an animal so powerful when if attacked, you are advised to play dead and attempt to cover your neck and head while it mauls you, and hope it becomes bored. This due to the fact that fighting back affords you no hope for survival. Zero respect or common sense shown here.

As the old joke says, you don’t have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun the other guy.

By the looks of that bear, he just ate Mean Joe Greene. The Fridge, and Andre the Giant, and was more interested in finding a place to shit in the woods than to mess with those two lost tourists.

Had that been a momma and her cubs what you see on that video would have likely looked a whole lot different.
