26 Final Photos Taken Seconds Before Shocking Tragedy

3. Not The Best Time To Take A Picture

This picture was taken by a hiker in New Jersey, USA whilst on a trail. Sadly, the bear then went on to attack the hiker moments later, killing them. The best thing to do is to avoid traveling through bear territory but if you do, travel in groups and make noise. If you do spot a bear identify if it is defending cubs or a kill and what type it is as it may act differently.

Back away slowly, keeping your eyes on the bear at all times and keep talking in a calm manner to identify that you are there. If it is defending something, move away from that as quickly as possible without running. Should a bear attack, shout and be aggressive and fight for your life if attacked, focusing on its eyes and nose but never, ever approach the animal.
