Moment ‘cute’ bear cub charges at door to try and eat family’s dog
The baby bear was seen lunging at the family's door in an attempt to get at the pet dog yapping behind it
Eye-opening video footage captured the moment a deceptively cute bear cub charged at a family’s front door in a bid to attack their pet dog. The baby animal was filmed outside a home in Boulder, Colorado, last week.
It strolled across a deck while a dog barked from inside. Attempting to surprise its intended prey, the cub then sprang around and raced towards the door, only to stop on seeing that it was glazed and there was no way though.
The animal’s breath could be seen condensing on the glass door while it squared up the dog, which continued to bark throughout.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife shared the clip on its Twitter account – and warned others not to feed or approach seemingly cute baby bears.
A spokesman said: ‘It is very important that you actively haze (scare) bears away in situations like this.
‘Bears that feel comfortable enough to come this close have lost their natural fear of humans & can become dangerous.
‘Even a bear this small could cause a lot of damage or seriously injure humans/pets.’
