In rural Japan, a mother bear attacked two males in a truck.
On April 28, footage captured a bear sprinting from the forests towards the moving vehicle in Hokkaido, Japan. The bear repeatedly wiped the windshield.
Although the men fled unscathed, a post-event photograph reveals that the vehicle’s windshield was fractured as a result of the assault.
