Influencer films himself in bear den as animal arrives home and 'you won’t believe what happened'

Most people hope to never be this close to a wild bear

I don’t think most people would be able to stay this calm if they got this close to a wild bear, and it really is unbelievable how this TikToker reacted.

When most people go to work, they don't tend to get up close and personal with a wild bear.

Well, this influencer isn't most people, as he found himself face to face with one of the giant predators as part of his job.

In videos that have gone viral on social media, Serbian influencer Stefan Janković shared a moment that he will likely remember for the rest of his life.

In one of his clips, the influencer found himself in a bear’s den and in what would be a heart-attack worthy moment, the bear seems to come home.

Yep, I think at this moment I would have pretty much just noped out of existence.

But the influencer seemingly just walks out of the den with the bear continuing to sniff at his face and head before turning its attention to the phone.

While being sniffed Janković just stares at the camera looking terrified and I don’t blame him.

In a second video, the influencer is now seemingly stuck in a tree and stares at the camera stunned while explaining the worsening situation.

He pans the camera to the ground below and shows multiple bears just kind of plodding around, not ideal in any situation.

According to a Daily Star translation, speaking to the camera he said: “You won’t believe what happened to me. I spend 24 hours in the forest, and a bear attacks me. It’s waiting for me, and there’s another one.”

Janković did not explain how he got into the situation either and simply, titled the video, 'On the edge of life.'

While awfully terrifying, some social media users questioned whether the video was staged or not, with many pointing out they don’t believe a bear would behave so non-violent when coming that close to a human.

As well as this, some pointed out there appears to be fences in the background and even an individual watching the whole situation.

The idea that the incident is staged is only amplified by the fact the influencer shared follow up videos on his page showing him playing and feeding the bears.

While no one has claimed this is simply a man in a very convincing bear suit, it is much more likely that the bears are simply domesticated or at least familiar with the influencer.
