Hiker Records Video As Mama Bear And Cubs Follow Him Along Trail

A mother grizzly bear and her two cubs followed a hiker, and he kept his cell phone camera rolling during the entire encounter. Most people would be paralyzed by fear but not 74-year-old Geoffrey Glassner, who was visiting National Park in Alaska recently when the bears followed him. Glassner remained calm the whole time. He hoped the grizzly family would turn off the trail, but they just kept coming. The cubs wouldn't stop, and of course protective mother followed close behind. #InsideEdition

The momma bear knew she was being recorded, she didn’t want to get sued.

I’ve been in the exact same situation with a squirrel I know it’s scary but the trick is to remain calm

Him: "They're following me!"
Bear: "We're just walking in the same direction. Chill."

"Mom can we go swimming?"
"Sure honey let me ask this human where is the park"
"Ayo why you running"

Bear: "Dont flatter yourself hunny. We had fish earlier."

[fuzon]

He took out a camera knowing a cameraman never dies! What a Legend!!

Well done for holding your screen horizontally in such situation

She didn't attack becuase you were not recording vertical

Billy: “Mama, what’s that!?” Mama Bear: “Oh that’s a human. Sometimes they drop food, but they’re mostly just entertainment—come on, watch this 😛”

The unbelievable level of behavior, patience, and calmness of this elderly gentleman. Great!

[rgalletta]

He was scared. Talking helped him maintain his cool. He was freaking out inside.

I would be dead, probably, because I would've definitely tried to hug them all.
