Fotograf gledao zalazak sunca, a onda je shvatio da nije sam VIDEO
24.07.2025. | 23:02Dok je kampovao na zabačenoj obali Aljaske, profesionalni fotograf i vodič Kejsi Kuper doživio je nesvakidašnje iskustvo s jednim od najsnažnijih predatora sjevera – i ostao živ da ispriča priču.
Podijelio je snimak susreta s medvjedicom koja je šetala obalom sa tri mladunca, svega nekoliko koraka dalje, prenosi Newsweek.
„Smeđa medvjedica dovodi mladunce do mene“, napisao je uz snimak koji je postao viralan, prikupivši više od 6,3 miliona pregleda.
@cooperlostCamping in back country of Alaska, I walked down to the beach, sat down to watch the sunset. Looked to my left and this beautiful brown bear and her 3 cubs were walking right up to me. I didn’t want to startle her but I made sure she knew I was there and let her walk right by me. One of the cubs locked in on my shoe as it walked past, clearly wanting to play with it so I pulled my leg back and they carried on their way down the beach. Such an insane encounter. I love these animals. (I have over 10 years of bear guiding experience. All bears can be dangerous, never put yourself in a situation like this unless you’re with a professional bear guide)♬ original sound – Casey Cooper
Kuper je otkrio da se trenutak odigrao prije mjesec dana, na zapadnoj obali ostrva Kodijak, koju lokalno stanovništvo naziva “medvjeđa obala”. Kao vodič s više od decenije iskustva, ističe da se inače trudi da izbjegne bliske susrete.
„Važno je da ljudi znaju da je biti ovako blizu medvjedima izuzetno opasno ako nemate duboko znanje o njihovom ponašanju“, rekao je.
Medvjedica pogledala u kameru
Dalje je objasnio da je kampovao u divljini Aljaske, sišao na plažu da pogleda zalazak sunca, a zatim ugledao medvjedicu.
„Nisam htio da je uplašim, ali sam se potrudio da zna da sam tu, pa sam je pustio da prođe“, kazao je.
@cooperlostAlaskan Brown bear brings her cubs over to us after being chased by a big boar on the coast of Alaska. *I am a professional bear guide with over 10 years of experience do not attempt* We set up in low tide viewing this bear from about 100 yards away, then from the other side of ther, a boar (male brown bear) chased her and her cubs in our direction. Making sure to not startle her by standing and moving around, we stayed put. I spoke to her calmly throughout the encounter, she continued clamming near us but then carried on with the cubs. Although close encounters are intentionally avoided because bears can be unpredictable, Sometimes there is no option to get out of the way. So we remained calm and let the encounter take its course. It’s important to understand this is a Coastal Brown bear that is used to humans being around, she understands we are not a threat. This would play out different with a non habituated bear. If you ever intend on coming to Alaska to see bears on the coast, always hire an experienced guide. Never approach bears under any circumstances. This is a unique situation in this region and I have been around this particular bear and others like her here for over 10 years. There is nowhere else in the world I would feel comfortable being this close to a Bear with cubs.
Medvjedica je pogledala pravo u kameru, dok su njeni nasljednici skakutali pored kamere. Kuper ističe da susret nije bio planiran.
„Bio sam s prijateljima na kampovanju u okviru jedne humanitarne akcije. U tom trenutku nisam očekivao da ću ih vidjeti – jednostavno sam sjedio na plaži, gledao zalazak sunca. Medvjedica se pojavila iza oborenih stabala i trave.
Kada sam je primijetio, već je bilo kasno da se pomjerim“, dodao je.
Zato je Kuper odlučio da ostane miran:
„Dozvolio sam da se susret dogodi, ali sam pravio zvuke kako bi znala da sam tu. Bio je to zaista prelijep trenutak – sunce je zalazilo, ona je bila opuštena, mladunci takođe. To nije situacija koju bih ikada pokušao da ponovim“, zaključio je, prenosi “Telegraf”.
Ipak, upozorava sve koji žele da posmatraju medvjede u divljini da to rade isključivo uz iskusne vodiče.
