Bears can be terrifying animals, or they can be one of the goofiest. However, all wild animals come with a level of danger, but this North Carolina Man stared mother nature right in the eyes in a hilarious way. Recently, the NC man donned a bear costume of his own. However, it wasn’t just for laughs. This was to scare off a curious black bear that had wandered into his yard. It was time to take matters into his own hands.
According to the NY Post, the North Carolina Man had dressed in his own bear costume to scare away his unwanted visitor. However, once this video met TikTok, social media users flooded the comment section with their own takes on the situation. One stated, “This could go horribly wrong.” In the video, users can see the man putting on the costume and successfully scaring away the black bear in his yard. A series of funny dance moves imitating growls and yells proved enough to spook the furry creature. The man would also make himself as big as possible and slowly approach the animal to scare it off.
North Carolina Man in a Bear Costume Takes on a Real-Life Black Bear
Before the man got too close, the bear would give him one last glare before heading out. However, this is not even the first time this black bear has been spotted on the property. The residents were seemingly fed up with the bear, thinking it owned the yard, so they took matters into their own hands. However, bears typically have extremely erratic responses to challenges. However, this time, everyone involved got very lucky. Bear attacks are extremely gruesome, but Black bears are also known for their more docile and shy way of life.
While there are cases of bears going against their nature completely, it seems extremely rare. However, nature can be unpredictable, and bears can also be very unpredictable animals. It may be an understatement to say what the North Carolina Man did was stupidly dangerous. However, most should be happy knowing no humans or bears were harmed in the filming of this video.
This could have gone in a very different direction and fast, especially if the bear had cubs with it. However, this time, a North Carolina Man in a bear costume was enough to get the job done. Although next time, they might not be that lucky, it may be best for the professionals to handle this if it were to happen again.
