A family who were hiking in Canada filmed the terrifying moment a bear stalked them for almost a mile.
Brighton Peachey was hiking in Whistler, located in the Canadian province of British Columbia, with her husband Michael and kids last week when she noticed the black bear following them.
She begins filming as the beast began approaching her husband and two of their sons, Griffin and Watson, as she carried their third.

Her husband, who had their baby strapped to his back, started to back away with his son before turning round and waving his arms to intimidate the bear.
'Hey bear, go home!,' Peachey can be heard shouting.

The father-of-three then tells his son to get in front of him and that it's not a good time to ask too many questions.
Afterwards, Peachey records
