Imagine you are kayaking on a pristine mountain river in the Rockies, safe from coastal predators like sharks and far enough north not to have to worry about alligators. Out on the water, it would seem that any predator on land wouldn’t bother you. Or so it would seem. Watch as one unsuspecting kayaker was spotted by a giant grizzly bear that charged into the water after him. See the exhilarating and terrifying footage captured by rafters who desperately tried to warn the kayaker of the danger swimming his way.
