Oblivious Couple’s Reaction to Approaching Bear Will Leave You Laughing and Shaking Your Head

Quick Smiles:

• A wild bear casually strolls across a grassy field on Burnaby Mountain while most people scatter
• One couple remains completely absorbed in their book, hilariously unaware of the approaching wildlife
• Bystanders from two parking lots away finally get their attention in a heartwarming display of community concern

There is so much beauty to be had in nature. It’s hard to grasp just how many different plants and animals we share this Earth with.

Sometimes, we don’t realize when we’re enjoying the outdoors that we might be in someone else’s home. That field that looks like a lot of fun for a softball game is probably home to lots of little creatures.

Even though they don’t care if we come to play most of the time, occasionally, they want some privacy. A viral video shows a bear creeping into a grassy area on Burnaby Mountain in Canada.

Most of the people in the crowd scatter, but one couple doesn’t even seem to notice. The wholesome scene has captured hearts across social media for its unexpectedly funny twist on outdoor safety.

The Bear Never Got Spooked

Although plenty of people got up to run from the bear, it didn’t seem to mind. One couple shared a blanket in the middle of the field, and even as others scrambled to get out of the way, they remained.

They appeared to be reading, ever so casually, and blissfully unaware that they could be dinner if they stuck around too much longer. People much further away yell and laugh until they finally get the couple’s attention.

Lots of people wondered why no one in proximity tried to help the couple. The comment section lit up with concern mixed with laughter at the absurd situation.

“So many things about this video made me mad,” a follower wrote.

Some pointed out that some people had survival skills, but just not the inclination to help others.

“Let’s not saying anything so the bear will get them and not us survival skills 101,” a comment reads.

“It took a guy from a 2 parking lot aware to warn those 2 people? No one in that area just shouted ‘bear’ wtf is wrong with those people,” someone agreed.

These people are darn lucky they escaped the bear unharmed. The bear eventually wandered off peacefully, and the couple got quite the story to tell.

That must have been a really good book. Sometimes the best adventures happen when we’re completely absorbed in a good story—though perhaps not quite this close to wildlife!
