Three women had a harrowing experience with a black bear in Mexico's Chipinque Ecological Park, captured in a chilling video from a few years ago.
The footage shows the bear approaching them, sniffing, and pawing at one of the women, who remarkably remains calm and even takes a selfie with the bear.

Park's Response and Measures
In response, the park implemented strict measures against risky visitor behaviour, emphasizing Chipinque's role as a protected natural area. Visitors are reminded to stay vigilant, avoid close encounters with wildlife, and promptly report sightings to park rangers.
