This guy just found out a massive black bear is under his house

If you wanted America summed up in one YouTube video, this might do the job.

In mobile phone footage uploaded recently, two men wander outside their house and take a look under the porch decking to discover a huge black bear just... chilling.

The magnificent creature lunges towards them, but our two foolhardy cameramen don't do the sensible thing and run away. Oh no. They stick around and decide they're going to scare the bear away instead.

If you think you can bear it (sorry) watch below - and skip to 2:34 if you really want to hang onto the edge of your seat.

Never, ever, ever try this at home.
