Black Bears are drawn to un-occupied residences in Tahoe, where they lay claim, and visit regularly. This is what happens when you get too close to her cubs.

  • Its funny how many people want to see wild animals attacking. Im no acception, infact I had to tell myself not to look anymore. If this were a true attack I would remove it, but in all honesty, it is educational.

  • It happens to be a female with three cubs.

  • What was the outcome? Was anyone hurt?

  • everyone is fine, like another poster mentioned, this is an almost daily occurance here in Lake Tahoe. 2007 was a record year for bear sightings due to the Angora Fire we had in June.

  • Maybe in Yellowstone the bears are more aggressive, but according to record, there have been no bear attacks in Tahoe ever.

  • I guess not all bears are the same in regards to what the bear experts teach us. Or maybe its because humans have become so common in a bears life. I dont have a clear answer. Just whats caught on tape, they dont all attack when you run.

  • That was hilarious.

    "I wonder how long these things are going to stare at me.... They're still there.... Weird lookin' creatures...... Still staring at me.... All I want to do is relax, eat some food, scratch my back, and I've got these things staring at me. Meh...I'll get them out of here.... This ought to scare them..."

  • marquisenet, PUHAHAH!!

  • marquisenet, PUHAHAH!!

  • i was up in algonquin once and a black bear attacked me we ened up on the ground wrestling, finally i got out of the bears headlock and started to ground and pound him to he started to turtle thats when I knew he had enough. If it was a grizzly though i wouldnt have been able to do that, i would have had to out run it

  • yeah um... i don't really see her charging you. she was sitting there for almost all the video and then she moved and the video finishes. might wanna rethink the title.

  • Black/Brown Bears are known to charge but when they get between 20-10 feet they'll turn and run away if you hold your ground (or charge them in turn) That's why it's called a bluff charge. Their teeth are the main threat anyways. Climbing bears claws tend to be too stubby to do too much damage besides a few welts or superficial scratches.

  • Wow amazing vid, Im glad you guys are ok , its like that here were I live in BC, Canada tons of bears and Grizzlys to ! esp right now tons of them !!

  • How is your underwear?
