A tourist narrowly avoided being attacked by a brown bear on Romania's scenic Transfăgărășan mountain road after failing to notice the animal approaching from behind. The footage shows the man standing by the roadside and most likely looking at his phone while the bear walks up behind him. The animal comes within a few centimetres of the tourist and is seen sniffing his leg while the man remains unaware of its presence. Thus, bear sightings are common in Romania's mountain regions, including along the Transfăgărășan, where some animals have become accustomed to approaching tourists who feed them despite repeated warnings from authorities not to do so. Several tourists have been injured, and some have been killed, in recent years after stopping to photograph or feed bears along Romania's famous mountain road.
