A young family recorded a scary encounter with a black bear during a hiking trip last week in Whistler, but their quick thinking kept things from getting worse.
, Peachey later said, "We later learned they’ve had to close this area multiple times because of this bear’s increasing aggressive behavior."
"This was scarier than the time I was mock charged by a bear because I had my kids with me & felt helpless. The bear was not intimidated by us at all, he just kept following us." According to news reports, the bear followed them for 20 minutes – about a half-mile – before it trailed off. It never became aggressive towards the family.
if you encounter a bear in the wild, you should stand your ground, never run away or play dead, and stay calm while allowing the bear a chance to leave.By clicking Sign Up, I confirm
