>>2515670She had babies, they can't run away from some huge beast like you so her only choice was to set a boundary with you directly.
Basically telling you she'll sacrifice her life knowing you can kill her easily but the trade-off is a world of pain for you.
Maybe you could perceive it as aggressive but I see it as defensive.
Clearly it worked, she took charge of the situation, you got the message and the outcome was the best possible where nobody got hurt.
Many humans act completely retarded socially with other animals by ignoring social cues and boundaries that's why situations arise where they get hurt by wild animals who'd normally never consider touching you.
Not saying you're like that, it's what I keep seeing all the time personally.
Like one local guy here from jogging club setting up check-points, he sees a bear on trail and instead of having etiquette to stop and assess the situation he ignores bearmom completely and just continues running toward her probably thinking she'll move aside.
Bearmom had a cub and she has no choice, cub is not fast runner like some cocky 80kg human.
She pushed him down and nips him in the butt, not even enough to make him bleed mind you she's not a savage.
Jogger runs to newspaper and cries about savage wild dangerous animals almost killing him...
These ppl are super autistic when it comes to interaction with other animals.
