I think we’ve all seen strange things take place at family picnics and barbecues before. Whether it’s drunken aunts, bickering siblings or wasp stings, such events can usually be relied upon for being unpredictable and entertaining.

Entertaining, however, is likely not the word one family from Mexico would use after a recent experience at the Chipinque Ecological Park in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León.

A truly shocking video has surfaced showing the family enjoying their picnic at a table, only for a hungry black bear to burst onto the scene and slowly, methodically begin making their food his own…

I don’t have all that much experience with bears, and for that I’m grateful. They’re magnificent creatures, don’t get me wrong, but there’s something about the hair, claws, teeth, prickly attitude, size, teeth, that puts me off the idea of ever spending any amount of time around them.

That said, I usually don’t mind watching them in documentary shows or the hundreds of clips to be found on YouTube. For the most part, they’re curious animals, more than capable of getting up to the kinds of mischief that make for a good viral video these days.

One Mexican family can attest to that, as they’re run-in with a black bear at lunch time made for incredibly tense viewing.

According to reports, mom Silvia Macías and her brood were enjoying their food at the Chipinque Ecological Park when the bear appeared and decided he wanted to take what was theirs.
