A close encounter on Romania’s Transfăgărășan Road is raising fresh concerns about tourist behavior around wildlife.

A viral video shows a man standing still as a bear cub approaches within centimeters, sniffing his legs. He does not react until the animal moves in front of him, then runs back to his car. The moment was filmed by another tourist and quickly spread online, sparking debate over whether he was not paying attention or made a risky choice to stay calm.

Authorities have long warned about the growing number of bear sightings in the area. Yet many visitors continue to approach wild animals, ignoring basic safety guidelines.

What the hell is even going on here? Is he high? The bear bites his leg and pulls on it several times. Once hard enough to cause him to flinch. Yet he keeps standing there.

The bear wasn't going to eat him, the bear could smell the AIDS on him

Honestly a brilliant move by the driver by not honking to scare it. But it’s hard to tell as my ears are being r*ped when this music is set to 1000% volume

His luck was that the cub's mother hadn't intervened. In short, we never approach the cubs, because the protective instinct makes the mother extremely aggressive.
