Recently, a Romanian man encountered a bear on a road, looking down at his mobile phone and even coming into close contact with the animal before seizing an opportunity to escape safely. A video of the incident went viral online. On 26 July, on a famous mountain pass in Romania, a brown bear casually appeared, prompting a nearby driver to flee into their vehicle. However, a man with his back to the bear remained completely motionless, looking at his mobile phone. As the bear repeatedly sniffed his legs, he stayed unperturbed. When a trailing car tried to scare the bear away, the animal suddenly lunged in front of the man. Startled, the man fled, with the bear in close pursuit, before he successfully reached a vehicle and escaped. Many netizens expressed confusion over his initial lack of response, with some suggesting he remained still deliberately to avoid an attack. However, as he later fled as if suddenly jolted awake, others speculated he was genuinely unaware of the bear’s presence. #worldnews #romanian #bear #phones #calming #hkeye #viralmoment #localnews #brownbear #dangerous #attention #safety #escape #fyp
