FRESNO, Calif. -- Imagine how scared you would be if a bear jumped onto your car, feet away from you!

Taylor Hawkins sent KFSN a video of just that happening on Thursday afternoon.

Hawkins was on her way to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park when she had stopped in a long line of vehicles.

That's when a bear sauntered over to the car right in front of hers, took a look at the trunk, and then clambered up on top of it.

Seconds later, it got spooked, jumped down and ran off.

But it didn't go far.

The unusually fearless - or unusually hungry - bear stopped on the grass just near the edge of the road and looked back at the car for a few seconds.



Hawkins recorded the whole encounter on her phone. She says no one was hurt in the incident.
