WILDLIFE -- While snowboarding in Japan with a Go-Pro on a selfie stick, and Australian gal says she was oblivious to an Asian bear romping behind her for a way down the slope.
Kelly Murphy,19, posted the footage to YouTube on Sunday and gave an interview to her home-country reporters on Australia's 9 News in Sydney. Asian bears exist in the area.
On YouTube, Murphy says:
"OMG! I was going through my snowboarding videos and I found a bear chasing me!!! I nearly got eaten!!!
This was at Hakuba 47 in Japan, filmed yesterday! Be careful people!!!
There are a lot of reasons to be skeptical. Snopes says the footage appears to include computer generation images of the bear.
But I'll just say this is well done if it's a fake.
