Even from the safety of your vehicle, a charging bear is nothing to mess with.

Cody Kunau and his friend Samantha were driving to the Yakutat Lodge in Alaska for dinner when they encountered a large grizzly bear on the side of the road. As they approached the animal, it quickly scurried across the road and into the woods.

"This is a somewhat normal occurrence for here," Kunau wrote. "Usually, the bears run off and catching a close up glimpse is hard. We slowed our vehicle down to where we saw the bear cross the road when suddenly it erupted from the bushes and came after our vehicle."

The bear charged the car, following as the two pulled away in a hurry.

"Holy fuck, we just got charged by a bear," Kunau can be heard saying in the clip.

The two were unable to find anything that would agitate the bear in the area, so they continued to the lodge where they warned locals of the really angry bear down the road.
