A woman walking her dog in a forested area in Canada recently found herself being followed by a large bear, according to a tense viral video she shot on her phone.
Even though the woman repeatedly shouted “No! Go away” at the bear and made loud noises to scare the bear, the bear continued to follow her on the road.
After slowly advancing towards him at first, the bear suddenly began to attack, surrounding him as he continued to retreat and screaming for him to leave them alone.
The bear runs toward him for nearly two agonizing minutes, then retreats and rears up on its hind legs several times, revealing its massive size.
