Teenager Confronts Wild Bear in Shocking Security Video
A viral video from Bradbury, California, shows a tense encounter between a teenage girl and a wild bear. The video, captured by a backyard security camera, reveals a brown bear and her cubs wandering along a wall before being confronted by barking dogs.
Seventeen-year-old Hailey Morinico intervened when the bear swiped at and picked up Valentina, her mother's emotional support animal. In a split-second decision, Hailey shoved the mama bear off the wall and hurried her dogs back inside.
"When I knelt down, I was literally face to face with her," Hailey told CNN. "That was when I had to think. I didn't really think up until then. I did this for [my mom]."
Experts warn that this incident points to a deeper problem, highlighting the need for awareness and caution in human-wildlife encounters.
