This Bear Hung Out With A Family Picnicking In The Woods & Calmly Waited For A Sandwich

Usually when people see a bear they run away. That makes sense too, because man-animal conflict with a bear does not end well for humans. That's what Leonardo Di Caprio taught us in The Revenant.

However, when a bear visited a family vacationing in a remote Maryland woodland, instead of wrapping up their picnic they let the bear join in and one guy even him a sandwich patiently.

The video that is going viral was reportedly, originally posted on TikTok by Kaitlyn Nesbit. In it, a black bear can be seen sitting at the edge of a picnic table waiting patiently while a man makes it a peanut butter sandwich.

First, the man gestures at the bear to wait as he prepares the sandwich and then feeds it with his hands. 29-year-old Nesbitt captured the surreal incident in Deep Creek where her family was staying in a cabin. ¡°This is a f*****g joke right¡±, someone can be heard saying from the deck as the man fed the bear.

After bear takes the first sandwich another man starts preparing one more for it, may be as a takeaway. According to Nesbit, ¡°the momma just walked back into the woods unharmed,¡± after a while.

People on the deck and the group made sure to record the incident and take plenty of selfies before the bear returned to the wild.

However, not everyone on social media seemed impressed by their little supper party.

It is illegal to feed bears in Maryland as there is a fear that they might begin to associate people with food and pose a threat to local residents.

For people¡¯s own safety it is recommended that bears not be fed because it can lead to increased man-animal conflict and people were quick to point that out.

May be the bear was this calm and patient because dining with humans was a regular thing for him.
