Mexico: Mum shields son from bear as it devours birthday picnic


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Silvia Macías had travelled to Chipinque Park to celebrate her son Santiago's 15th birthday. But, soon after they sat down to eat, an unwanted guest leapt onto their table and began helping itself to enchiladas, tacos, fries and salsa.

Footage of the incident shows how dangerously close the bear got to the family.

And the one filming it all, was s/he only thinking how 'cool' his/her video would be? You know, instead of chasing that bear away before it considered the kid as a nice extra?

People really need to be aware when they are going into the outdoors.   Bears have incredible noses and are able to smell food a long ways off.

That in itself could induce an attack. That's also why the mom and kid didn't get up and run away I presume.

No es muy bueno.  Could have been worse, though.

That still doesn't explain why it was filmed anyway.

Imagine: a mother protecting her kid when a bear shows up.

What's the first thing that comes up in your mind?

FILM IT.

 

We're a doomed species.
