This woman has nerves of steel! Would you react this way if a wild animal approached you?

A bear, standing on its hind legs was filmed approaching a group of hikers at Mexico’s Chipinque Ecological Park.
The chilling footage shows the woman standing still while the bear approaches her. The other two hikers watch the scene while trying not to move an inch!
The woman remains completely calm, even managing to snap a selfie with the bear!

After a while, the bear seems to lose interest but attempts to nibble on the woman’s leg before walking away.
According to the Bear Smart Society, black bears are less aggressive than the brown bears we usually see in movies!
This girl has nerves of steel.
