Incredible moment wild black bear casually joins family for picnic of peanut butter sandwiches in Maryland
THIS is the moment a group enjoying a picnic in remote woodlands had a surprising guest - when a bear casually arrived and began munching on a sandwich.
The surreal scene, uploaded to TikTok by Kaitlyn Nesbit, sees five people sitting around a table in Maryland before a black bear settles down and is fed a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich.
It gobbles down the food straight out of the palm from the brave man who presents it, as the rest of the group remains seemingly unbothered by their guest.
Nesbitt, a 29-year-old bridal store manager, says she captured the moment on Thursday in Deep Creek where her family are staying in a cabin.
She told Caters: "This was a friend's cabin and they said that the bear is always around and never really bothers them.
"Some of our group are used to being out in the wild so we were all told to not make sudden movements and stay where we were.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources warn that food should not be kept in places where bears could gain easy access such as in tents and that canned and dried foods should be used to limit smell.
It is the latest viral video of a bear this summer following last month's incredible footage of a bear appearing on hind legs behind two fearless hikers.
The animal walked up to two people taking a selfie in Mexico and got incredibly close to one woman in the incredible recording.
