"They nearly ignored the animal’s behavior. The next few seconds explain why that would have been a mistake.
A hiker broke his ankle and spent the night against a tree.
A young bear wandered close, sniffed his backpack, and then sat several yards away.
The bear remained until search crews arrived, occasionally standing whenever coyotes called.
It was not instinct without direction; it was a warning, a search, or a rescue unfolding before the people around it understood.
Would you have understood the warning in time? ❤️
