This video shows a biker’s close call with an Asian black bear near Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, which was captured on helmet-camera. The footage shows the biker driving along a winding road when suddenly the bear runs out of the woods and toward the rider. Counted among endangered species, the Asiatic Blacks are the most prized of all bear species that are hunted for their body parts (mainly the gall bladder) that are used in traditional medicine and also as a culinary delicacy in few areas.
