A young family recorded a scary encounter with a bear during a hiking trip in Whistler, in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
This footage...shows a bear stalking the family along a hiking path. Peachey can be heard saying “do not run” to her child and husband who are walking slowly away from the animal.
The couple then shouts and waves their arms in an attempt to scare the bear off.
In an Instagram post Peachey said, “We later learned they’ve had to close this area multiple times because of this bears increasing aggressive behavior”.
