0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Hey, good news. We figured out who's been doing the ring and run. No, it's not those pesky kids next door. It's a bear. We found this out via a ring at camera. A group of bears approached the porch of a home around twelve forty five am one night. One walked up to the front door to get a closer look. The bear, closing in on the doorbell, got on his hind legs to paw, sniff and lick at the glowing device a few times before running off with his bear friends. If you do run into a bear, the National Park Service has some tips. They say. Now, this isn't Johnny Mack saying this, this is the National Park Service. You could choose your own advice here, but according to this article, identify yourself to the bear by talking calmly so the bear knows you're a human and not a prey animal. Hello, mister bear, I'm a human. I'm not gonna bother you. They also advise you to remain still stand here ground, but slowly wave your arms. Stay calm, and remember that most bears don't want to attack you. They just want to ring your doorbell, and they usually just want to be left alone.
