Not much of a charge, but enough to cause a "brown alert".

Its troubling that nobody seemed too concerned, however had the bear actually attacked, things would have been a whole lot different. The bear would have been blamed and probably put down. Hopefully the Warden Service was nearby, and dealt with the issue by moving people along.

Least she sort of stood her ground, unlike her partners in crime who booked it leaving her to face the music.

Lucky for the herd of stupids, pestered bruin was a tolerant one(doubt they realize that).

Well there you have it. Best way not to get attacked by a bear is turn your back to him while taking a selfie of you with the bear charging from behind. The bear was obviously not will omg to face a lawsuit with video proof!

Pretty well mannered bear, showed a lot of self control considering all the tourists getting in its face.

Those bears on 93 are very tame and used to tourists. Which is a good thing for her, not so much for the bear.

I've learned from a biologist who spends a lot of time in the bush:

For black bears stand your ground and make yourself look big if they charge. (If you run they think your food).

For a grizzly you play dead and pray that the mauling stops.

If you see cougar tracks your fine, otherwise you probably won't notice it until it is too late.
