Bear Stalks Family Along Hiking Trail in Whistler<br />A young family recorded a scary encounter with a bear during a hiking trip in Whistler, in the Canadian province of British Columbia.<br />This footage, filmed by Brighton Peachey, shows a bear stalking the family along a hiking path. Peachey can be heard saying “do not run” to her child and husband who are walking slowly away from the animal.<br />The couple then shouts and waves their arms in an attempt to scare the bear off.<br />In an Instagram post Peachey said, “We later learned they’ve had to close this area multiple times because of this bears increasing aggressive behavior”.<br />“This was scarier than the time I was mock charged by a bear because I had my kids with me & felt helpless. The bear was not intimidated by us at all, he just kept following us.”<br />According to news reports the bear eventually trailed off and never became aggressive towards the family.<br />Credit: Brighton Peachey via Storyful
