Curious grizzly bear jumps on car

A family in the US got more than they bargained for when they stopped to take videos and pictures of some bears wandering along a highway.

Montana resident David Peters ended up coming face to face with a grizzly bear, while on a trip to Yellowstone National Park with his wife Valerie, his niece and a friend’s young daughter.

Incredible video captured the moment a curious grizzly bear jumped up onto the front of the vehicle and made his way along the car.



The passengers can be heard screaming out of both delight and fear as they bear continues to touch the car windows and peers inside.

"It was exciting," Peters told ABC News on Saturday. "Except I got my car kind of trashed."

"The bear came over and jumped up (on) the car and just had its way with the car for about five minutes," he recalled.

It was only when they started the car engine that the big bear decided he had had enough excitement and ran away.

The inquisitive grizzly is just one of many animals that have acted out for a captivated audience.

From a protective bunny, to a lion trying to eat a baby, here are some incredible videos of when animals do the unexpected.

This lioness works so hard to try to claw at the baby sitting inches from the glass at her enclosure.

But as hard as she tries the cute cat just cannot get to what she wants.

The family behind the camera find the moment hilarious and the baby has no idea what is going on.

This raccoon was trying to be sneaky and act like he totally belonged in an alcohol warehouse — unfortunately, he made the mistake of imbibing. And then stumbling around drunkenly.
