A group of hikers kept their cool and even managed to snap a selfie when a curious black bear approached them along a trail in Mexico.
The unusually close brush with nature reportedly happened at a popular hiking trail at Chipinque Ecological Park in San Pedro Garza García, according to a person who shared the video.
Footage shows a woman standing very still as a black bear perched on its hind legs approaches and sniffs her.
The bear briefly drops onto the ground, but suddenly lurches back onto its hind legs again and presses himself against the woman.
Behind her, two other female hikers manage to remain calm as they watch the bear inspect their friend.
Bystanders try to distract the black bear, but it is preoccupied with sniffing the woman's head.
Meanwhile, the woman quickly seizes the unbelievable moment and pulls out her cell phone to take a selfie.
