A DeHavilland Beaver float plane from the Beluga Lake Float Plane Service in Homer, Alaska, taxis for takeoff in McNeil Cove while a brown bear walks the beach at the McNeil River Bear Sanctuary in southwest Alaska.
This bear probably was as close as 20 feet but in this shot is about 50 feet away. At its closest approach, we started talking to it and it moved off.
It would have been cool if he took off over the bear, and the bear look up at the plane and be all amazed and stuff

The pilot actually held back so as to not scare the bear into us.....
