Jakarta –
A black bear and a person relaxing were both shocked when they came face to face. Luckily, the animal just looked and ran away.
Launch CNN, Thursday (20/4/2023), a black bear scared a man. North Carolina man David Oppenheimer was shocked after meeting an equally shocked bear.
In fact, the presence of bears is a common sight in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. But, if anyone gets too close it is sure to disturb a man’s comfort outside his home in Asheville last week.
David was relaxing outside on Tuesday (17/4). Just then, heard the alarm sound from the motion detector.
“I looked back and saw nothing. But about a minute later, the bear came and was practically in front of me,” he said.
The video from the doorbell shows the exact moment where Oppenheimer and the bear make eye contact. Both of them looked equally surprised at each other.
From his easy chair, Oppenheimer clutched the pillow as his body froze until the bear fled seconds later.
The bear, which Oppenheimer believed was relatively young, backed away quickly, making a small sound before scuttling away.
“My eyeballs literally stretched,” Oppenheimer describes the situation. Fear kicks in and this isn’t the first time the two have met each other.
Oppenheimer said the same bear had visited his home several times before to check out trash cans. It bites the bird feeder.
“The bears here are very peaceful. This one caught me off guard,” said Oppenheimer.
