An Alaskan hike turned into a terrifying test of survival after three hikers experienced a heart-pounding encounter with a grizzly bear. The hikers rounded a corner and found themselves face-to-face with the bear, nicknamed “Scuba Sue,” while it was hunting for salmon along a narrow trail at the Anan Creek Wildlife Observatory in southeast Alaska.
Speaking on “Fox & Friends Weekend,” the trio detailed how they relied on crucial park ranger safety protocols to stay calm after finding themselves trapped on the path. “We’d actually been watching bears, hoping that there were salmon coming up the river. We saw about four or five bears earlier. Those were black bears. And then coming back on the trail, we had an unexpected encounter,” Dr. Michelle Lynn Thaller said. “Right around the corner came this grizzly bear.”
Video captured from the scene shows the bear getting up close and personal with the hikers. The group was forced to talk to the bear, while slowly backing away to allow room for it to pass on the path. Good thing that little gal wasn't hungry. Didja see the size of the mitts on her? Yikes...
