A shocking video has surfaced online, showing a man running the life of a polar bear, chasing him through the snow on a remote Arctic island. The incident reportedly took place on April 27 in the Norwegian archipelago in Svalbard. The video shows residents trying to scare polar bears found near carking snowmobile. However, a bear sued the Russian mining manager. The man even tried to scare the polar bear by firing a warning shot, but warned him. He then dropped his rifle and sprinted to the nearby snowmobile. The man quickly ran to the snowmobile. The bear finally gave up and sat on the snow.
“Bears often enter the pyramids because their migration routes run through the region. Some bears are aggressive, while others are more timid and softer,” a source at Arktikugol, a Russian Arctic coal company that operates in the region, told the Daily Mail. Check out the viral video here:
