"Bear reaches breaking point as tourists persistently provoke"

Tourists in Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada, ignored wildlife etiquette and got dangerously close to a bear that was eating. One tourist even stroked the bear. The incident was captured on video and shared on Instagram, highlighting the need for common sense and respect for wildlife. Bear encounters are on the rise due to habituation, where animals become accustomed to human presence without negative consequences. Bears, in particular, are susceptible to habituation due to their intelligence and adaptability. It is important to maintain a safe distance from wild animals to avoid potential harm.
