I mean, it’s a hungry cub, but oh boy did they got lucky. The bear even sniffs at boy’s head. Father is happily filming the whole scene.

This happened a few days ago at Chipinque park in Monterrey Mexico.

    Oppisite, black bears are the ones you cannot play dead with and require you to either hide or fight back

        Black bears are scavenger more so than predators. If they came across someone who they perceived to be dead they’d likely take at least a probative bite.

        I’d imagine who ever had been faking being dead who react in a way that would startle the bear off.

        And direct confrontation by appearing to be a threat is a good tactic for black bears, unless it is a sow with her cubs.
