Summer is one of the best times to spot grizzly bears at US National Parks, and seeing one from a safe distance can be the highlight of your vacation. However, it's important to always give the animals plenty of space, and avoid disturbing or distracting them.
A video currently circulating on social media shows what happens if you ignore Park Rangers' warnings to keep your distance. In the clip, which was shared last week via Instagram account TouronsOfNationalParks, a man can be seen approaching a grizzly cub with one hand outstretched, seemingly trying to coax it to approach. Bears, like most wild animals, prefer to avoid such close encounters with people, and the cub reacts by charging to drive him back.
