A bear chased two geese around their enclosed pond before flattening one with its huge paw and devouring it.

CCTV footage showed the beast catching sight of the two birds through a fence as it walked past their enclosure.

It looked to be walking away, but was intrigued by the honks of the birds and turned around.

The menacing bear then climbed the fence into their enclosure.

The panicked geese started to run around the edge of the pond in an attempt to evade the predator.

One found itself trapped in a corner, but managed to escape the bear.

It flew across the surface of the pond but then ran straight into the bear’s path.

The large mammal flattened the goose with its large furry paw before stuffing it in its mouth.

The bear then climbed back out as the other goose took to the water and slowly stopped honking.

The farm raid took place in the hamlet of Covelo located north-east of Milan, Italy.

It happened on 15 March, as reported by Need To Know.

The bear returned to the farm the following night where it also dined on poultry, according to reports.

A week later, it went back again but was unable to find any birds to feast on.

It enjoyed a dip in the goose pond before going about its business.

It’s unclear if the authorities are making any attempts to capture the frequent intruder.

A dog walker encountered an aggressive bear in the woods in Slovakia on 21 March.

The man, named Mr Piotr, was walking his dog along a nature trail when he saw the bear with her four cubs.

He whistled to alert them to his presence, but the mother attacked him anyway.

He defended himself with a small axe he carried to cut down overhanging branches during his trek in the Malá Fatra mountain range.

Footage showed the brave hiker taking cover behind a forked tree as the bear charged at him.

The bear circled and attacked again, but the man was ready with his chopper.

Mr Piotr told local media: “She flattened her ears and charged me.

“I had bear spray with me, but it didn’t help.

“So I took out an axe and hid behind a tree.

“Every time she attacked, I hit her on the head.”

He added: “If I didn’t have the axe, she would have killed me on the spot.”
