Footage from Romania shows an unexpected interloper on the ski slopes: a large brown bear in hot pursuit of a skier during one of the world’s scariest downhill events. David Creța, one of several who filmed last week’s frightening encounter, wrote on YouTube that skiers in the lift above tried to whistle and shout to distract the bear, but the animal wasn’t falling for it. Instead, the bear made a beeline for the skier, who came up with a plan on the fly. “He did a pretty cool move, which is a really safe one when you want to get away from the bear,” skier Angel Somicu, who spotted the same bear an hour earlier, told ABC News. “He dropped his bag off, and, well, the bear was dragged towards the bag.” Creța wrote on YouTube that the bear stopped chasing the skier and went for the bag, likely in search of food. “So the skier is safe and OK,” he wrote. Local police told UPI that the bear hightailed it into the woods when the department’s ATVs arrived on the scene. www.yahoo.com/huffpost/ski-slope-bear-095130418.html
