An elderly couple had a lucky escape after they failed to notice the brown bear lurking around outside their holiday home in Pasadena, California.
Bob and Irene McKeown, who are originally from Scotland, walked straight out the front door of the house without so much as a second glance towards the animal that was merely metres away.
According to Sky News the couple only realised the bear was there when it came at them as they tried to get into their car.
Thankfully they only suffered a few cuts and bruises although we have no doubt the incident, which was captured by CCTV (see video below), got their hearts racing.
