Bears can be imposing creatures with their fur, claws, teeth, and intimidating size, making most people not inclined to spend time with them. However, watching them in documentaries or online videos can be intriguing, showcasing their curious nature and potential for mischief that often goes viral.
One Mexican family had a firsthand experience with this when they encountered a black bear during their lunch, creating a thrilling viewing experience.
Reports indicate that mother Silvia Macías and her children were enjoying their meal at Chipinque Ecological Park when the bear showed up and decided to help himself to their food.
The situation became more challenging as the family had not been alerted about the bear’s presence, leaving them frozen as the bear climbed onto their picnic table and started devouring their meal.
Silvia, the mother, shared that her son Santiago is fearful of animals, which pushed her to act swiftly to protect them.
“Santiago is very scared of animals, whether it’s a cat, a dog, or any animal, he gets very scared. I didn’t want him to see it and scream or run away,” Silvia explained.
“I was concerned that if he got scared and screamed, the bear might react.”
“I just felt like a mother protecting her cub.”
The video of the family’s encounter with the bear was posted on TikTok, garnering over six million views.
