MIRAMICHI, New Brunswick, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- A brave Canadian promoted a safari park with an unusual video showing his friendly interaction with nine wild bears -- although one wasn't fond of his phone.

George Hachey posted a video to Facebook showing him feeding and interacting with nine black bears at New Brunswick's Little Big Bear Safari park last week.

The video shows Hachey feeding the bears and walking among them while encouraging viewers to visit the bears before they begin to hibernate for the winter.

"After a very difficult summer my day with the bears always made me feel good," Hachey wrote in the video's description. "God has put wildlife on Earth to feed some people, and also to heal others. I am telling you if you are stressed out, even afraid of bears, you have to fight that for you and come visit us at Little Big Bear Safari next summer."

The bears in the video seem friendly, or at worst indifferent, toward the human in their midst, but a second short clip shows one of the animals has an issue with being filmed.

The video shows Hachey set up his cellphone camera to record the bears and one of the animals immediately approaches the camera and knocks it to the ground.
