A woman performing a morning jump rope routine 'skipped of sharpish' after an inquisitive BEAR wandered up and wanted to get in on the action.<br /><br />Footage shows the filmer's reaction as she realised the bear was coming towards her.<br /><br />She runs up to the camera in a frenzy and drops her glasses and phone in the process.<br /><br />The woman managed to get inside safely, but the large black bear got dangerously close to her backdoor - and even climbing up onto her patio, in order to sniff around.<br /><br />The close encounter was filmed in Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, USA, where New Jersey Fish and Wildlife reveal incidents involving bears have increased in the last year.<br /><br />The video was filmed on November 7, 2022
