The brief ABC News segment shows a baby black bear cub approaching a man, likely a wildlife photographer, and gently nibbling or investigating his boot or shoe. The man calmly repeats phrases like "No bear," "That's my foot," "Good bear," to de-escalate while the cub and apparently its mother are nearby. The description specifies the event occurred in Alaska as the cub passed by out of curiosity.
