The bear wandered up to his truck and placed its face on the passenger window inside while baring its teeth. The moment was captured on camera by Tom, 60, who watched the scene in awe from the back seat of the pick-up truck.

Tom says:

“The window didn’t seem thick enough and I thought that if the window broke my best bet would be to lie down behind the front seat or to grab my tripod and whack him on the nose with it.”
