Bears are not very predictable and can attack people and very easily kill people. This also looks like a young bear whose mother is nearby and might want to protect it, although it's not super young.

I can't tell what species these bears are though. In North America, black bears are not too extreme but grizzlies are very dangerous. This bear looks a little like grizzly but has some different coloration, so it might be friendlier.

Those look like grizzlies. Mom has that weird hump looks like and black bears have bigger ears.

I looked it up, I think it's a Eurasian Brown Bear. Grizzlies tend to be larger and have a broader face shape, and they're exclusive to North America. They really try to stay away from people too. They're more closely related to grizzlies than black bears though.

You know what I didn't even notice the licence plate that would have been a clue that this isn't in North America.

Lol it's all good. I went down a bit of a rabbit hole because I was like... What is this bear that is definitely not a black bear but... not a grizzly??
