Had a friend and his wife that were avid hikers. He was walking ahead of her maybe 50’, heard some commotion in the brush behind him. In the blink of an eye a black bear ran out of the brush in front of his wife to see if a meal to be had but started slipping on the wet rocky trail as it suddenly noticed him. My friend raised his arms instinctively to try and distract the bear, and it used it’s momentum from slipping to fly to the other side of the trail and off into the brush. Whole thing took maybe 5-7 seconds.
They’re now a closer couple when hiking…
So they’ll BOTH get eaten together.
