A man in Coquitlam, British Columbia, encountered a black bear in his garage while charging his electric vehicle. Captured on video, Alex Gold remained calm, repeatedly yelling “No” and clapping his hands as the bear approached. Gold escaped by getting into his car and honking the horn to scare off the bear and its cub. Gold described the experience as unforgettable. Dr. Lynn Rogers, a biologist, notes that black bears are often misunderstood and usually attack only when afraid.
