Woman stalked by charging bear on morning dog walk captures terrifying encounter on camera

A woman walking her dog in a wooded area in Canada recently found herself stalked by a large bear, according to a tense viral video she shot on her phone.

Despite the woman repeatedly shouting at the bear "No! Go away" and making loud noises to scare it away, it continued to follow her down the road.

After at first slowly moving toward her, the bear suddenly started charging, circling her as she kept backing away and screaming for it to leave them alone.

For nearly two agonizing minutes, the bear runs toward her then backs away, rearing up on its hind legs several times, revealing its massive size.

She was finally able to distract the bear by throwing what appeared to be her water bottle behind a gate. The video ends as she races away after the bear went to investigate what she had thrown.

The woman had just grabbed her morning coffee and was only planning to go for a short walk with her dog near where she was camping with others when the encounter happened, according to Wilderness Escape Adventures in Alberta, which said on TikTok they interviewed the woman.

She had just picked up her dog’s leash and began to head back to camp when the bear appeared.

The woman stayed calm during the encounter and didn’t run from the bear until it had moved away from her.

Experts say to never run from a bear because it can trigger their predatory instincts and bears can outrun humans at up to 35 mph.
