we've been thinking bears are dangerous! Apparently they just want to lick you....and get a whiff of your perfume!!
LAKE JAMES, N.C. —
A Burke County woman claims she recently had a close encounter with a black bear while she practiced yoga near Lake James.
Kristen Jones said she was doing yoga, facing the lake with her ear buds in when the bear came up behind her and sniffed and licked her before walking away.

Thinking it was her neighbor’s dog, she said she reached up with her right arm to hug the animal, and startled it.
As she turned to look at it and say hello she realized it was a bear.
Jones said the animal had already turned away and started up the hill before she was able to snap off some photos and shoot a quick video.
"Hey bear, where are you going?” she said after the encounter. “You just scared the (expletive) out of me."
In a Facebook comment, Jones said “I realize many of you find this untrue. Honestly, I don't care. I've never been more scared in my life or felt more vulnerable and pray I never experience anything like that again.”
After calling neighbors, Jones said the same bear apparently has been spotted in the area over the last 48 hours in people's trash cans and on their decks.
NOTE:
Oh well....Muley isn't in near as much danger as we've been thinking! All he needs to do is wear some of the 'Yoga Perfume'!!
:face: :lol: :cheers:
