In another clip of the same incident, the bear can be seen standing erect stiffing the woman’s hair and body. Many praised the woman and her friends for keeping their composure in spite of the bear being that close to her.
Here are some of the hilarious reactions from the video:
From the way he left her alone after she took the pic, it looks like he asked her to take it.

This was super scary!! She was super freaked! You can hear her fear when bear nibbles her leg. I think the selfie was to distract her herself of what really was happening!! ?

While the move was surely foolish and brave at the same time, it’s sheer luck that everyone came out unscathed from the incident.
