Calm man skillfully avoids confrontation with black bear outside his home in Canada: Witness his collected response

A man in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada had a close encounter with a black bear in his garage while charging his electric vehicle. The man, Alex Gold, remained calm as he shooed the bear away and escaped into his vehicle. This incident was caught on video and went viral on social media. Black bears are generally not considered dangerous unless provoked, according to biologist Dr. Lynn Rogers, who has studied wild black bears for over 50 years. The National Park Service advises people to keep their distance from bears and provides tips on how to react if attacked by a black bear or a brown/grizzly bear. They recommend playing dead in the case of an attack by a brown/grizzly bear and fighting back with force against a black bear. It is also suggested to carry bear spray when venturing into bear territory.
