Man mowing lawn is warned by neighbors as bear approaches him

    Good neighbours were on high alert recently in a North Vancouver neighbourhood when they saw a bear approaching a man who was mowing his lawn. He had no idea there was a bear nearby.

    Ezra Mandel told Storyful that he was wearing noise-canceling earplugs while mowing the lawn and didn’t hear his neighbor warn him about the bear. Luckily, he said, another neighbor then “yelled louder until I could hear him.”

    The encounter was captured on camera by his security device. In the video, Mandel removes his earphones and quietly leaves the scene as he sees the four-legged visitor walking across his property. Credit: Ezra Mandel via Storyful
