The man had strong nerves and reassured and praised the animal, but the bear only seemed intrigued and was not aggressive at all.
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himMeet a bear during a walk in the woods it can be really exciting, but someone could panic, fearful of being attacked.
On the other hand, the 57-year-old South Tyrolean did not let himself be frightened when, during an excursion in Trentino, near Cavedago, he found a young bear behind him, less than five meters away.
The animal, evidently curious, immediately showed itself determined to follow the hiker and kept walking behind him for a few minutes. However, the man kept his nerve and everything went well.
“I treated the bear like a dog, I praised it and calmed it down”, explained the man to the Dolomiten newspaper, who added “I didn't die of fear, because the bear didn't seem aggressive”.
According to the story, the 57-year-old would have accidentally had the cell phone in his hand, thus being able to start the camera and film a few seconds of the chase.
The images taken and published on the newspaper's website confirm a curious but peaceful attitude of the animal, who doesn't seem to have bad intentions.
This time, therefore, the close encounter with a bear did not lead to dramatic consequences for anyone, perhaps for the nature of the bear, an animal that is probably too often demonized, or perhaps even for therespectful and reassuring attitude man.
