A man in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada was frightened to find a black bear in his garage while he was charging his electric vehicle, according to video service. Video captured the moment when the bear made eye contact with the man, Alex Gold, right before the bear ran straight towards him. Without a flinch or a scream, Gold kept his cool. In the video, Gold is seen repeatedly yelling “No” while clapping his hands as he backed away from the bear."
He must have remembered the poem about how to deal with bears: If it's brown, lie down. If it's black, fight back. If it's white, say goodnight.
