Brown Bears (Info, Pics and Videos)

[Shadow]

Here, once again an example, that when meeting a bear, staying calm and remembering instructions can make the difference. Last monday (22.10.2018) a finnish 12 years old girl met a bear on the way home from school. She was left by school bus to place, from where she then walks a little bit under 1 km to home. When walking home she suddenly noticed a bear nearby. She lied down to ground in fetal position and put her hands to cover her neck. Bear came to her, sniffed and then pushed her a little bit to her back. After some minutes bear went away.

Girl was totally unharmed, but naturally somewhat upset. Still her father tells, that overall girl seems to have taken situation quite good. Officials and wildlife experts visited place also after they were informed about what had happened. This link is in finnish, so most here don´t understand too much and google translator is in big trouble with finnish language, but just that you can see, that this really happened :)
