Hollywood has greatly exaggerated how bears behave in real life. Films often depict a bear hunting down a person for no reason and chasing them through the woods to kill them. However, the reality is that <a data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/a-z-animals.com\/articles\/ive-been-bluff-charged-by-bears-heres-what-you-should-know\/?utm_campaign=feed&amp;utm_source=rss_feed&amp;utm_medium=in_content&amp;utm_content=1242323\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:bears don\u2019t typically chase people;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">bears don\u2019t typically chase people<\/a> unless there is a reason.

As the video starts, we see several grown men on the roof of this small shed or house. They are trying to capture this bear. The men have various tools to catch the bear. We also see a policeman and a fireman who were called to the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This video picks up about halfway into the interaction, because at this point the bear has quite frankly had enough. He has decided his life is in danger, and his only hope is to use his strength to get out of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The bear shocks everyone, climbs onto the roof, and runs across it, chasing all the men straight off the edge!
