Bear sneaks up on man sleeping beside pool. Watch what happens

A man’s relaxing time by the pool turned into quite a scary experience. A shocking video shows a bear sneaking up on the man sleeping next to the pool. The video has grabbed the attention of netizens.

Shared on Facebook by Dawn Bete, the clip was captured on a surveillance camera. The video starts with a view of the pool. A person can be seen resting on a chair by the pool. After a few seconds, a bear sneaks up behind the man and walks over to the pool. After a few moments it turns around and notices the man sleeping on the chair. It then walks up to the man and sniffs his foot. Startled, the man jumps up which makes the bear flee from area.

“Matt was a little startled yesterday while taking a rest by the pool,” reads the caption by Bete. The man in the video is her husband.

However, the video doesn’t end here. Matt swiftly grabs his phone. Within a few seconds the bear is back again in the frame, curiously staring at Matt.
