Likely because black bears have a habit of mauling folks that are between them and their cub(s), even when that person isn't actively DOING anything but standing there.

Hope you got some decent pics with the mom/cub combo out of the experience, too.

You're lucky you didn't get your head chopped off. How close/far were you actually from the momma bear and cub before the cub charged by you?

Hi there I was about 20 to 25 feet from mum and the cub passed by me at about 6 feet.
The most dangerest Animal in Scotland I have seen is the next door neighbours dog.

But there is a fine line between brave and stupid. All in the name of Photography.

Scots tourist totally unaware of the danger...

Cool shot, looks like a cub of the year maybe and that is a pretty light colored black bear, very interesting.

I have another photo of this bear with her two cubs one brown and one black. here is the image.
