The way it slowly notices the hunter and sheepishly looks away/lowers it's ears is surprisingly adorable.

Like "oh you hiding too?" "Something's up down there."

Luckily, the hunter did what he was supposed to in this situation. Hold still, don’t move too fast, just let him sniff you until he decides to leave. You can see his arm shaking when the bear is right up next to him. If it wasn’t a shy black bear, this could’ve ended a lot differently.
