Brown bears flee just meters from a pack of tourists

A pretty crazy experience for all the tourists and guides involved. These two bears seem to pass by Through this crowd of people, who went into the field to continue their argument. I would say stay away from the wild animals, but these animals approached the tourists, and the tourists were with some pretty knowledgeable guides. Moreover, it seems quite clear that they were significantly more concerned with each other than with the people around them.

“As bear guides on the Alaskan coast, we are typically more concerned with bear interactions with other bears than with a single animal. Thanks to decades of responsible habituation, the bears here are not bothered by us and are usually more concerned about others of their kind. The biggest threat to a bear is another bear, and often the response from one to the other can happen quickly.“
