Visiting Bear Doesn't Appreciate Friendly Greeting

Occurred on May 20, 2021 / Sevierville, Tennessee, USA

: "It was 5 am and Kevin heard a banging noise coming from outside our Airbnb cabin in Sevierville, TN. He jumped up and looked outside to see something near our garbage right outside his window. He pulled out his camera to catch it for the family just in case we didn’t wake up in time to see the bear ourselves. He slowly walked out and was face to face with the bear, he greeted it excitedly “hey Mr bear” and the bear charged and he ran inside as fast as he could. Michelle (heard in the background) says “he’s still out there” and Kevin slowly goes back out on the porch to get another look. The bear eventually leaves our trash alone and perches on the hill just over our driveway when we notice Mr bear is actually Mama bear and she has 3 tiny Cubs with her! We had a deck higher up so we gathered up high to watch an amazing moment between a mama bear and her cubs!"
