Man Fights Off Mad Mama Bear On A Cliff

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.

Check out the harrowing experience

Is there a road runner in the area? Because there are a lot of coyote sightings these days.

Yes, coyotes are on the prowl in Massachusetts. But what should you do if you see one?

A fifth-grade girl in Hingham was chased by a coyote while walking her dog before school Tueday, Oct 4.

“The coyotes are walking down the middle of the street. They’re walking by South Elementary School in the middle of the day," Alison Fabella, who lives in Hingham, told Boston.com. She also has seen them at the bus stop and in her backyard.

Fabella said she was chased by a coyote when she was out walking her dog last week, Boston.com reported.

On Aug. 27, two off-leash dogs were attacked by a group of seven coyotes. One of the dogs had to be put down because its injuries were so severe. That same day, a man and his two off-leash dogs were attacked by coyotes, sending the man to the hospital, according to Boston.com.

Then, on Sept. 29, a Cohasset Dachshund was nearly killed after a coyote jumped a four-foot fence to attack it.

Well the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife described them like this:

"The eastern coyote resembles a medium-sized dog in body size and shape, but has longer, denser fur and pointed, erect ears. The tail is long, black-tipped, and bushy. A typical coat color is a grizzled gray but can vary from creamy blonde to red or nearly solid black. Weights for females are 33–40 pounds, while males typically weigh 34–47 pounds."

"Coyotes often look heavier than they are because of their thick fur." (Reminder to me: fur coats make you look chubs.)

OK. This is a no-brainer folks. Coyotes are like the neighborhood kids. If you feed them, they come back. And then you can't get rid of them.

Keep your pets leashed. And a fence doesn't necessarily mean safety. Never leave your pet outside unattended. Also, domestic cats should stay indoors. And an electric fence only works one way, people. So keep that in mind.

Instead of running, shout or throw something in its direction. But don't play victim. Be aggressive.

According to Urban Coyote Research, when a coyote fails to exhibit fear of humans or acts aggressively, the animal should be reported as soon as possible to the appropriate officials. "It is recommended that towns have a procedure in place to handle these reports. Signs of aggression are similar to those shown by domestic dogs and include agitated barking (unprovoked), raised hackles, snarling, growling, and lunging. These behaviors are usually preceded by other indications as shown in the chart below, though may change seasonally."

Too bad the bar is closed. No more bar dancing and swinging bras! But not a bad movie!
