A motorcyclist near Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, had a terrifying close encounter with a bear.

Just as the rider and his passenger are coming to the end of a left turn, a bear can be seen running out of the woods toward the riders.

It's unclear if the bear was attempting to attack the motorcyclist or just cross the road, but it certainly spooked the driver, who simply said, "Whoa!" after swerving slightly to avoid that animal.
