A woman walking her dog in a wooded area in Canada recently found herself stalked by a large bear<\/a>, according to a tense viral video she shot on her phone.<\/p>\n

Despite the woman repeatedly shouting at the bear “No! Go away” and making loud noises to scare it away, it continued to follow her down the road.<\/p>\n

After at first slowly moving toward her, the bear suddenly started charging<\/a>, circling her as she kept backing away and screaming for it to leave them alone.<\/p>\n

For nearly two agonizing minutes, the bear runs toward her then backs away, rearing up on its hind legs several times, revealing its massive size.<\/p>\n

The woman stayed calm during the encounter and didn\u2019t run from the bear until it had moved away from her.<\/p>\n

Experts say to never run from a bear<\/a> because it can trigger their predatory instincts and bears can outrun humans at up to 35 mph.<\/p>\n
