He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him
A group of hikers are taking a walk in the nature of the ecological park of Chipinque, Mexico, when a curious black bear approaches them and even “poses” for a photo.
It sounds incredible, but it really happened, and the video of the exact moment the animal appears to be hugging a woman went viral on both Facebook and Twitter.
Without warning, the girl is shocked to see that suddenly to her right is a huge bear.
In the video you can see how she tries to act normally, keeping calm and moving slowly (that is, what you have to do in case of a close encounter with a bear).
With his mobile phone in his hand, he manages to take a fleeting and quick selfie with the animal.
The scene is shot from multiple angles by the other people present.

When everything seems to have a happy ending, however, events take a disturbing turn for the behavioral change of the black bear.
The animal begins to smell the women and tries to bite the leg of one of them, fortunately without success.
The man who is filming the scene then advises the hikers to back off to prevent the bear from further worsening his mood, making this strange close encounter in disgrace.
Remember, as we had already said also in the case of the child Alessandro who had met a bear in Trentino, that if you suddenly run into a bear at a short distance, you must absolutely remain calm and not scream, but speak to be recognized.
“If the bear remains stationary, calmly walk away, backing away or moving sideways. Should the bear follow you, stop and hold your position. Do not throw stones or sticks at the animal, do not run away and do not climb a tree. It is very unlikely that the bear will attack you, but if it does, remain motionless: it is very likely that the bear will stop near you without any physical contact. If the attack comes into contact, lie face down on the ground, covering your neck with your hands. Get up only when the bear is no longer around, ”explains WWF.
