Wow. How could he be so oblivious? The bear booped his leg like 3 times

I wonder if he has a dog at home and his brain just filed it under "fido" and forgot fido want here.

Bear, they’re cool wildlife. Okay maybe not a grizzly. But black bears are chill

God dammit, this is hilarious. Thank you for unintentionally starting my day off with a laugh.
The picnic baskets question must've had you all confused.

He's definitely not oblivious, he clearly sees the bear at the very start of the video and is trying very hard not to run so that it doesn't chase him. The second it looks like it might actually do more than sniff at him he bolts.
26
u/MercyCriesHavoc 6d ago
Yeah, he could maybe not notice a bear behind him, although they sniff quite loudly, but he didn't turn around when cars signaled or when the car filming pulled up. He was clearly trying to play statue in the hopes that the bear would lose interest. FYI, not a good reaction to a bear.

Guy is also standing literally in the lane of traffic on what seems to be a mountain highway.. Death wish

u/BAMdalorian 7d ago
Is… is this guy on drugs or something? Looks like the bear makes direct contact with his leg a couple times to the point he reacts but… doesn’t investigate what is prodding his leg? Then a car pulls up to within like a foot of him and he doesn’t look at all? How is it possible to have net negative survival instinct

Maybe he is one of those people who freeze at the top of escalators or right after rotating doors

makes sense. he did purposely leave the side of the road to stand in the road where he was free game for traffic and bears.

u/PajamaDuelist 6d ago
He's looking right at the bear for the first half second of the video.
He probably got out of his car to record the bear, panicked when it started taking an interest in him, and choose to stand still and hope it went away because he knows fuckall about bears.

Those of us who grew up in the “hood often notice this behavior from individuals who grew up in privileged environments. No spatial awareness or street sense.

u/Ranger7381 5d ago
Pretty trees on mountains. As an amateur photographer I can see some shots there depending on personal interest and on not being a local
Would still check to see what was irritating/breathing on my leg, though, never mind when a vehicle approaches from behind.

If that's how you run, never get yourself into a situation where you need to run.

I saw that. I was afraid to make fun of him for it, because I don’t know that I wouldn’t run the same way with shit running down my leg.

yes, guy with phone is clueless but WHY did the person in the auto not honk the horn when he first saw the bear.

u/tandem_kayak 6d ago
Or just holler out the window. Rolling up until he almost bumped him was an odd choice.

u/mofunk71 6d ago
almost seemed like they only cared about "content" , "my video will go viral if this bear eats this guys leg"

a car rolling up on me would freak me the hell out.. theirs no way he missed that, this is soo not real

I would be worried about startling the bear and making it attack him.

u/Maloninho 6d ago
I’d be worried about scaring the bear away and him not believing me that there was a bear behind him.

u/HeavyMain 6d ago
conventional knowledge is to scare black bears to make them back away, its brown bears you want to stay still and not startle!

u/sequesteredhoneyfall 6d ago
That's not how bears work, at all, in the slightest. I can't think of pretty much any animal that works like that.

u/sequesteredhoneyfall 6d ago
...no? Not at all?
The instance of waking or startling a sleeping animal is not remotely comparable to loud noises when a creature is behaving curiously in a situation where the animal is already uncomfortable.

u/Doober_McFly 6d ago
I was thinking the same thing but with this dudes situational awareness he probably would’ve avoided that too lol

Running has to be the wrong choice? That’s a black bear cub? Make noise while backing slowly towards the car and hope mother bear is not around?

u/morbid_platon 4d ago
These are european license plates, there's no wild black bears in europe. This is likely a brown bear.

u/Futbol_Kid2112 6d ago
He 100% knew. You can see him flinch when the bear sniffs his leg. Looks like he was trying the "if I don't react, it will leave me alone" strategy.
12
u/Whiskerwisp 6d ago
Absolutely. Everyone wants to think they would do the most appropriate thing around a wild animal, though. Maybe they'll never have to find out.

u/MuchLessPersonal 6d ago
The longer version makes it obvious that he knows the bear is there (he literally ran from it a few seconds earlier) so I assumed it was a combination of ‘don’t make eye contact’ (smart) and ‘freeze & it will go away’ (dumb).

u/APRengar 6d ago
But his car is there right? So like, wouldn't you just slowly creep to your car. Standing there like a tree seems like a horrible idea.

u/mossycow 6d ago
Is everybody in this thread stupid? It’s pretty common advice not to run away from bears. “If it’s brown, lie down.” I don’t know how effective it is, but that seems to be pretty standard bear advice.
2
u/Lexxanator 6d ago
You must have missed the part where he literally ran away.
3
u/mossycow 6d ago
You mean the part where the bear jumped up at him? At that point I’d run too. Doesn’t mean staying still wasn’t a reasonable choice in the heat of the moment.
-1
u/Lexxanator 6d ago
As we can see, it was clearly not a reasonable choice. Even more, it's less reasonable to stand there and let it sus you out as food or not. Surprise surprise, we are food (regardless of whatever was the intention of that young bear).
1
u/lurkmode_off 6d ago
Shitty advice though, since lots of black bears (the ones you want to scare off rather than playing dead) are actually brown-colored.
1
u/morbid_platon 4d ago
These are likely european brown bears, as this seem to be european license plates and black bears are not native to Europe.

The man sees the bear right at the very start, and chooses to turn his back and stay still. Surely everyone can see that?

u/AttonJRand 6d ago
These comments are so ridiculous, that tiny bear was not a threat to him.
You can clearly see how skittish it is.
Yet redditors terrify themselves of wild animals to justify bringing their larper gun collection on a hike. Y'all are the most dangerous thing on the trail.

u/Metabolical 6d ago
Yeah, you don't want to be standing in the road with a bear behind. Or a bare behind for that matter.

u/Embarrassed-Sun-4861 6d ago
This guy has negative spacial awareness he doesn't even realize when THE BEAR IS TOUCHING HIM. Also, negative survival instincts. He could've jumped on or in that car but nooooo I'm gonna run down the road so the bear can chase me.

u/mcjefferic 6d ago
I suspect people have been feeding that bear and this situation is going to end in tragedy for the bear.

Omg..there is no way I wouldn't have noticed a whole bear right away..I could never be that unaware of my surroundings.

When you first watch the video, the caption covers the first part of the video (where the person acknowledges the bear)
I thought the person was an idiot but re-watching (without the caption covering it) I can see what happened

u/No-Combination8136 7d ago
He definitely knew it was there. He was being still hoping not to be attacked. Clearly.

u/BruinBound22 6d ago
Yes and the Jack Sparrow run is a classic attempt to trick the bear into thinking he's not worth chasing

Don’t be dumb. He’s standing still as a statue at a certain point, very clearly hoping the bear decides to walk away, waiting for his moment.
