Bear encounters walk a strange line—they’re terrifying, adorable, and oddly hilarious. We all know we should never get close to one, but let’s admit it: bears are super cute. Just don’t hug one.
In a viral video from Saskatchewan, a woman in a tree stand spotted two black bears nearby. One of them started climbing the ladder straight toward her—like a pro, too.
She tried to talk the bear down and even wagged a finger at it, which only made it more curious. Eventually, the bear decided to retreat, and that’s when things got funny. It dangled by its teeth, got awkwardly tangled in the ladder, and clumsily worked its way down. The woman, still scared, couldn’t help but laugh. And honestly, same.
