Stalked by a Polar Bear and Her Cub | BBC Earth

I'm really hoping Lyra and Mickey will have returned. And we're in luck. Our family is back, but Lyra's behaviour is different. It's interesting, she's coming towards us. There she goes. OK, Lyra is a bit closer. This is when I start getting nervous, just a bit. OK, Lyra, I can see that you're smelling the air. And I'm just a little bit worried that it's the smell that's coming from me that's holding your attention. This is not a bear that is at all scared. This is a bear that's figuring out what's going on. Whether there is an opportunity to feed here. We're completely downwind, so Mickey's getting quite a good scent of us here. Lyra's always actually moved away from us and kept a personal distance. And right at the moment, it's the first time in the last year of being with her that she's actually turned around and come towards us. And her body movement and her stance that worries me a little bit when she's tense. She basically puts her front paws forward and builds up a stance. It's like a spring ready to take off. When they come at you, their initial speed is incredibly fast. This is the first time I've felt threatened by Lyra. If she comes, you drop everything. You drop the monitor, you drop the camera. Jason, is he safe there? I'll just grab one more shot of Lyra. I don't like it. OK, shall we move back then? Sure. If you don't like it, I'd rather move back now. Please, Gordon. OK. Right, Lyra, that's close enough for now. Despite the fact that she hasn't been aggressive towards us at all, there may well come a point where she views me differently. She sees me and thinks, possibly, this is something that I can't eat. Maybe this is my next meal. We may be safe, but I'm so worried about Lyra and Mickey.
