Momma bear and her 3 cubs

He's very fortunate she didn't attack him.

She bluffed, huffed and stopped. He's a dumbass.

Dumbass, on multiple levels

Been there. 2001. Was stuck in a bumper to bumper line of cars for 3 hours getting through the scenic drive because of a bear and her 2 cubs. You can't imagine the foolishness that people were participating in with the bears. Out of the cars, approaching them, turning their back on the bears for close ups. Just like the video. Wow. Just wow.

Fyi, he's really not in that much danger. That is truly the normal extent of an encounter with a black bear sow with cubs. They put on a show, but rarely actually make actual physical contact.

Stupid, but not overly dangerous.

Was finishing up on a trail there in 2015. I had already sidestepped a snake, I think a small timber rattler. We were coming down a somewhat steep and rocky trail after hiking most of the day when this group of people passed us, then, about 10 minutes later, they came back toward us. They said they saw a momma bear and either one or two cubs -- I don't remember-- crossing the trail in front of them about 40 yards, so they backtracked. We parked it right there for about 10 minutes and then, with about 4 to 5 more people, went on.
