As much as we live in a country that has many, many wild animals, it is not often that we encounter them. 

Well, not on such a personal and intimate level as this family. 

A family were busy enjoying their picnic lunch at what looked like a park when they were interrupted by an uninvited guest. 

In a video shared on TikTok, we see a mother holding her son's face close to her neck. 

The two are completely still and look quite scared as a wild bear helps himself to their picnic lunch. 

Their stillness is indicative of their fear, obviously, but what stands out to us is the person videoing it all, as it seems they were not afraid at all.

Of course, there is some controversy around eating out at parks with wild animals. 

Many people say that we are in fact in their habitat and we shouldn't expect them to act out of their nature. 

This is a true affirmation that staying calm really does work.
