Tourist's lucky escape from bear in China

A tourist looking for wildlife in China's northwestern Xinjiang Province got more than he bargained for when a brown bear charged at his car.


The man, Mr. Quan, had spotted the wild animal by the side of the road and started filming it when the bear suddenly rushed towards him, but he managed to close the window in time.

Quan said that he and his friends at first thought the bear was a Tibetan Mastiff dog wandering on the grassland.



Local officials in charge of wildlife protection in Emin County said that it was very unusual to see a bear wandering so close to the road in the daytime.
