Don’t come between mama and her cub!
The last thing you want to do on a hike is come face to face with a wild mad mama bear, but a Japanese man escaped was able to tell us his tale through his Iphone. He was climbing on a rock ledge when the dreaded event took place.
The incident took place in Mount Futago in Japan while the man was attempting climb the mountain and found himself in a real life fight to the death.
Bearly escaped!
The terrifying interaction took place earlier in October, with footage showing the man climbing when he suddenly comes across the bear, who is thought to be
defending her cub. Everyone know the most dangerous place to be is between a mama bear and her cubs, and this was exactly where this man unwittingly was.
A real cliff hanger!
The brave climber immediately starts to defend himself, screaming, kicking and punching the bear who retreats slightly before going for him again and again.
The man appeared to fend off the bear’s intense swiping while clinging to the rock ledge, although the bear kept returning and lunging at the man.
After about 30 seconds, the bear finally left with its cub into the woods and the climber is then seen frantically looking around in case mad mama bear returns.
