Watch: Bear Charges At Tamil Nadu Biker In Hair-Raising Video

The video shows a biker cruising on a hilly road till he comes across the bear family

Industrialist Anand Mahindra shared a video on his Twitter handle that is sure to give everyone an “adrenaline rush”. Shot in the hills of the Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, the video, which was a little over a minute, shows a biker recording his journey through a narrow stretch of a winding road, giving his point of view. Surrounded on either side by greenery, the biker keeps on negotiating the curves until he spots something and decides to halt — a little ahead, a family of three bears had occupied the road. It's all calm with the bears lazing on the road, till something happens. Somewhere in the Nilgiris... Wait till the end of the clip if you want to feel an adrenaline rush...To the @jawamotorcycles team: We need to introduce a ‘Bear Charge' warning on our bikes... pic.twitter.com/Zy24TuBroF Both are safe. The rider while on his way back home. Still bears in the same vicinity. pic.twitter.com/n1tcAhTzQE Double delight - not just in seeing mother and cubs. But also in the fact that the riders maintained a responsible distance. Sloth Bears - as are most wild animals - so rare to sight, we need to give them right of way and maximum possible space. It's scary... Actually in the end... Being chased by one.. I had a jump in heartbeat almost dropped the phone.. ???????? Indian Sloth Bears have poor vision but have a great sense of smell and hearing. Extremely short tempered and a mother with cubs is best kept as far away as possible not like the biker here. We see them in plantation areas frequently and they can do serious damage. Bikes R a grave threat to bears for many reasons.High speed & quiet human activity in bear habitat is a grave threat to bear/human safety,Certainly can displace bears fm trails & along trails.Also degrade d wilderness character of wildareas by mechanized travel at abnormal speeds Pretty fortunate they weren't close to the bend. Bears have poor sense of sight, get startled and lash out. Many a times Monkey charge would also give the same adrenaline rush while on a bike ride Real thrilling & frightening too. Sloth bears are most dangerous ...to come across..in the wild. First thing is to turn around and start moving away. They charge without any reason. Wild boars too.. Halfway into the video, we can see one of the bears starting to maintain eye contact with the biker. Suddenly, the animal charges towards the biker and the video comes to an abrupt end. Since the ending is inconclusive, we are left hanging on to what happened next. In his post, Mr Mahindra, too, asked viewers to watch till the end to feel the rush.
