According to foreign media reports on August 22, a family in Maryland, USA, came to the countryside to enjoy a quiet and pleasant family day, but an uninvited guest came. Kaitlyn Nesbit sat at a picnic table with her family when a wild black bear came up and, like a cartoon character, sat with the family to enjoy food from a picnic basket.
Nesbitt made a sandwich for the black bear and coated it with thick peanut butter. And the bear was also grateful for their company, quietly stretched out the bear's paw, took the sandwich and chopped it up. Nest is the manager of a wedding dress shop, and he posted this "adventure" to the Internet, which caused netizens to applaud one after another.
According to Nest, they were actually very scared at the time, and in order not to disturb the bears, they even opened the beer carefully. The three of them brought so much to eat, in case there weren't enough bears to eat, and they didn't know what the consequences would be. One netizen commented: "Is this a human play? Or is it a joke? ”
However, Nesbitt said he had heard of the bear's name before. "We went to a friend's cottage for the weekend and heard that the bear was always haunted nearby, but never bothered humans. Our little friends have very professional experience in wilderness survival, let us not suddenly make big moves, just stay quietly in place. Thankfully, I had a fairly 'fun' time with the bear. ”
The behavior of Nesbitt and his party has also been criticized online by professionals. They warn that bears should not be fed in this form, either for the health of bears or the safety of humans. In fact, it is illegal to feed bears in Maryland to prevent bears from linking people to food and thus threatening the lives of local residents.
According to the advice issued by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, if black bears come to the camp in search of food, people should scare them away, such as knocking on a pan or yelling, making a lot of noise anyway, rather than sitting with them. Admittedly, Nebister's crazy encounter was indeed unique, but in hindsight, it was quite frightening.
