<br /> <p>Philip deRoo was vacationing in Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada, when he said he came across something he had never seen before – a large group of people standing close to a wild black bear. This video was taken on July 13.</p><p>The crowd can be seen standing 15 to 20 feet away from the wild bear, taking photos.</p><p>The Friends of Algonquin Park have issued warnings</a> to tourists, discouraging close encounters with the species.
