Brown Bear Befriends Contractor

Occurred on October 19, 2021 / South Lake Tahoe, California, USA

Info from Licensor: "My name is Jack Henry Aagaard and I captured this moment of me putting the nose of a small brown bear in the South Lake Tahoe region during a recent snowstorm. I work as a contractor and I was doing fuelling for equipment late at night when I saw fresh bear tracks in the snow. I followed them and saw this small brown bear in bushes and it was comfortable with me, enough to let me get right up to it. I had some snacks in my hand which also must of let me get that close. After I gave the bear some snacks it wandered off into the snow."
