Wild video shows the moment a Serbian influencer found himself in a bear’s den when the massive beast came home.
Influencer Stefan Janković shared two clips of his close encounter, including one featuring himself face to face with the frightening beast, who can be seen sniffing at him with curiosity and alarm.
The first footage shows Janković sitting at the bottom of the bear’s den, peering up at the animal, who appears to be trying to size him up from just outside the cave.
The bear takes several steps closer, curiously sniffing the air to try and get a sense of what’s happening as Janković inches out of the den.
The clip then cuts to Janković stepping out of the den right next to the bear, who sniffs the influencer’s head and his cell phone.
The second clip shows Janković already up a tree with two curious bears below him.
One of the bears can be seen in the footage clawing at the base of the tree while looking up at Janković.
“You won’t believe what happened to me,” Janovic says in the clip, according to a translation by the Daily Star. “I spend 24 hours in the forest, and a bear attacks me. It’s waiting for me, and there’s another one.”
Janković did not explain how he got into the situation in the video, titled, “On the edge of life.”
Both clips had garnered nearly 100,000 views on X early Sunday.
It was not immediately clear where either video was taken, but brown bears are native to Serbia.
