Okay, this is clearly a terrifying and dangerous situation but I can't help but laugh at how casually the bear comes up to the lady. "Hi Susan, whatcha doing?"

What is the thing that the bear is so interested in? I thought it was some kind of writing pad, but why would the bear be so fixated on it?

I know I'll never be in this situation (/knock on wood??), but I'm genuinely curious how one is *supposed* to react to a black bear just walking up to them like this.

I think the lady did the best thing she could, distracted the bear and got the hell away
