A mama black bear was caught on camera charging a Siberian husky at a campground in Alaska.
The recently released clip, from a campground in Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, shows a bear and her three cubs approaching a trailer from the woods on July 5. When the bear spots the dog it delivers a bluff charge, and the bear and husky get into a brief fight off camera.
A woman can then be heard yelling at the bear, which returns to its cubs and runs away.
Tom Henderson, who uploaded the video earlier this month, said in an email that his wife is the person heard yelling in the clip. Fortunately, the dog was unharmed in the scuffle, despite its screams.
Henderson also said that bear sightings are not uncommon in the camp, though they have not had a problem like this before.
Unfortunate interactions between humans and wildlife are unfortunately common in the area. In June a man was mauled after brown bear with a sow got defensive.
Mashable has reached out to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game for additional information.
