Video of the encounter shows the boy, named Alessandro, slowly and cautiously walking away as a brown bear follows him down a mountain path, with his stepfather urging him to be careful and walk slowly. The bear rose to its hind legs a few times, but eventually stopped following.
Alessandro loves bears and when he first spotted the animal, he asked his stepfather if he could have a picture taken with the bear behind him. The stepfather says he told Alessandro he would take the picture if he started slowly walking away from the bear. “This is so cool,” the boy says in the video. Not sure I’d react the same way.
