A golfer in Coquitlam, Canada, was left terrified as a black bear charged towards her.

She said: "I was at a golf course when my friend alerted me that there was a bear behind me. I turned around and there was a sow 3-4 feet from me. I quickly backed away and started filming. I was yelling at the bear to go away, recalling that you are supposed to get big and loud. That is when it charged me.

"The bear came close enough to me that I could have touched it with my hand. It only bluffed though and went back to check out my things looking for food, which is when I noticed it had a cub following behind it. They looked around for a few minutes before taking off in the direction I had moved to get out of the way.
"The mama bear charged me again as her and her cub passed by. I was lucky that the bear didn't actually attack me and want to spread awareness that when you do come across a black bear, you should actually never yell at it (that's cougars!). Stay calm, speak in a calm voice, and let it know you are not a threat."
