News about Alex McGregor

The filmer's reaction when she learned the bear was approaching her appears in a video. She gets up to the camera in a fit of a whimper and loses her glasses and phone in the process. The woman was able to get inside safely, but the huge black bear was dangerously close to her backdoor - and even climbed onto her patio to sniff around. The close encounter was shot in Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, where New Jersey Fish and Wildlife reports that bear sightings have doubled this year relative to the year before. This year seems to be following a similar pattern, as several people had a close encounter with a bear just this month. A tourist group in Alaska earlier this month, on a guided tour to Chinitna Bay on Lake Clark's Cook Inlet, with the intention of glimpsing the bears in their natural habitat. However, they were taken unawares when a bear in the distance charged at them in a brisk manner in a nail-biting encounter.

Hikers in Alaska have recalled the tense moment when they came up close to a pair of huge brown bears in the Katmai National Park. On March 10, Alex McGregor posted a video of his 'interesting encounter' with fellow hiker Laura on Tik Tok. As the first brown bear comes into view, he says, 'It's coming right at us.'
