00:00 These are 12 of the most shocking bear encounters captured in Russia you will ever see.
00:08 Number 12.
00:09 This first terrifying encounter begins by showing us a guy coming into contact with
00:14 a family of three dangerous brown bears.
00:28 What makes this video even more horrifying is the fact that the mother bear seems to
00:33 be nursing her two young cubs.
00:37 Nursing grizzly bears are extremely protective of their young, making the predator in the
00:42 video more dangerous than it already is.
00:55 The Russian man then proceeds to throw rocks at the group of predators, showing no signs
01:01 of fear whatsoever.
01:02 Unfortunately, the clip ends without giving us a conclusion as to what happened next.
01:08 Number 11.
01:10 This next clip, filmed in Russia, opens like a normal vlogging video, with a man recording
01:15 the interior of his hut without anything out of the ordinary showing.
01:20 Moments later, he proceeds to record outside, where at first nothing really seems out of
01:25 place until he zooms in and shows this.
01:40 The man tries his best to scare the bear away by making loud sounds and swinging his limbs
01:46 while desperately clinging to the tree.The risk of falling and the predator closing in
01:51 on him puts incredible pressure on everyone, even to those just watching the encounter.
02:08 Bears despite their size are incredible climbers and will not hesitate to climb any tree just
02:13 to get what they want.
02:15 Thankfully, the animal eventually leaves the man alone, deciding it's not worth it.
02:21 Number 10.
02:22 The sound of heavy breathing and a dog barking in the distance start this encounter similarly
02:28 to a thriller movie, but even scarier.
02:31 At first it is unclear what makes the whole situation terrifying, but we don't get to
02:36 wait long, as after a few seconds, this happens.
02:50 The first charge was a bluff, but the Russian hunter still keeps his gun ready as he is
02:55 sure that it won't be the last.
03:08 According to the man in the video, the bear is nursing three cubs, which makes it more
03:13 aggressive compared to a non-nursing female.
03:17 Years of experience and incredible trigger control keeps him from shooting the bear right
03:22 then and there, which de-escalates the situation.
03:36 The predator eventually leaves him alone, unharmed, despite its strong maternal instincts
03:42 telling it otherwise.
03:44 Number 9.
03:45 Two Russian hikers record their dog barking and pestering a large grizzly bear they encountered
03:51 deep in the Siberian forest.
03:54 The dog keeps on barking at the enormous predator despite it already warning the dog several
03:59 times by bluffing a charge at it.
04:12 The men can do nothing and try and recall their dog toward them and back to safety,
04:18 unsuccessfully.
04:19 Grizzlies, even large ones like this, are incredibly fast and agile, giving it the choice
04:24 to catch and kill the dog if it wanted to.
04:27 Despite this, the dog continues to bark and harass the predator, even managing to do something
04:32 extremely risky.
04:44 The clip cuts prematurely and what happens next remains unknown.
04:50 Number 8.
04:51 A bear can be seen climbing a staircase while a man records the encounter, unable to do
04:57 anything but to try and scare it away.
05:10 Realizing that the ladder won't be able to hold their weight, the man decides to stand
05:14 on a branch, making the bear do something unexpected.
05:29 After failing to break the branch, the predator proceeds to go down and tries to make the
05:34 ladder fall.
05:35 Bears possess the largest brains compared to any other land mammal, making them extremely
05:40 smart at problem solving.
05:42 Still unable to make the ladder fall, the bear then proceeds to climb up again while
05:47 the man desperately tries to scare it away.
06:01 The encounter ends abruptly, but according to the original poster, he's fine.
06:06 Number 7.
06:07 A group of Russian men can be seen recording a bear minding its own business when out of
06:13 nowhere one of them decides to do this.
06:27 The predator steps back and remains cautious, showing the man signs that it doesn't want
06:32 him coming any closer.
06:34 Despite this, the man ignores all warnings and concerned body language of the bear and
06:40 decides to come closer.
06:42 Finally, having given up, the man tries to walk away from the encounter, but before he
06:47 can manage to, the predator does something terrifying.
06:58 Fortunately, the animal doesn't reach him, and he is able to run away safely.
07:06 Number 6.
07:08 This next shocking encounter opens with another Russian man recording a bear from the top
07:13 of a tree, destroying his inflatable boats.
07:17 Despite everything, the bear remains unfazed and even goes towards the tree the recorder
07:22 is standing on.
07:34 The clip then cuts and shows their truck apparently wrecked and trashed by the same bear that
07:39 destroyed their boats.
07:50 Both of them seem to be completely safe, but their belongings weren't so lucky.
07:56 Number 5.
07:57 A man records a bear sniffing around while approaching him when all of a sudden one of
08:03 his friends does something unexpected.
08:10 Surprisingly, the predator doesn't bite his hands off, but instead decides to stay around,
08:21 seemingly still trying to get more food.
08:33 Both of them watch the animal with amazement and fear, as wild animals are unpredictable
08:39 and dangerous in nature.
08:41 The bear continues to sniff around for a couple of seconds, even after being refused food.
08:56 The video eventually ends with the bear sticking around and not harming anyone.
09:01 Number 4.
09:02 A bear approaches a camp of bikers, while all of them watch, hoping that it will stop
09:07 and not come any closer.
09:19 Unfortunately it does come closer, and they are left to do everything in their power to
09:24 try and scare the predator away.
09:27 Some of them start their motorcycles and rev them repeatedly in hopes that the loud sounds
09:32 will prevent the beast from coming any closer.
09:45 Despite their fearsome reputation, bears are easily scared of loud sounds, as in the wild,
09:51 loud sounds generally mean trouble.
09:54 Both parties go back and forth, with one trying to approach and the other trying to scare
09:59 the approaching threat.
10:05 Thankfully, after a while, the predator eventually retreats back into the woods.
10:16 Number 3.
10:17 A bear can be seen in the distance, stalking a man as he stops from his hike in order to
10:22 scare the bear away.
10:24 He screams his heart out, hoping that the loud sounds will make the predator avoid him
10:30 and run away.
10:41 The encounter does not end quickly though, with his every sentence being screamed with
10:47 both bravery and fear.
10:59 He keeps his eye on the predator, never letting it get the chance to sneak past him and give
11:04 it a chance to attack.
11:06 Despite fearing loud sounds and direct confrontation, some bears will often show no fear of anything
11:13 during desperate times.
11:25 The bear eventually fades away in the distance, ending the encounter.
11:30 Number 2.
11:31 Here, a polar bear pokes its head inside the window of a house while one of the residents
11:36 feeds the predator, all on camera.
11:49 At first, this video might seem to be all harmless and cute, but it still should not
11:54 be mistaken that they are facing a ruthless predator.
11:58 The claws and fangs of the polar bear are almost the same length as the person's fingers
12:04 in the video.
12:15 Wildlife experts encourage people to not feed wild animals as they will eventually associate
12:21 you with food, spelling trouble for everyone.
12:25 The predator eventually has enough and leaves the house alone, for now.
12:30 Number 1.
12:31 In the beginning of this last encounter, we can see a man recording a bear that is unaware
12:37 of his presence, from behind its back.
12:49 He carefully and slowly follows the bear and eventually gets close enough that he decides
12:55 to do something really stupid.
13:08 The bear takes some time to process what just happened, but it doesn't take long as it
13:13 quickly does this in return.
13:26 The camera falls, ending the video.
13:29 What happened to the man is still a mystery.
13:31 Thanks for watching until the end.
