June 29 (UPI) -- A Colorado woman captured video of her too-close-for-comfort encounter with a black bear that followed her car into her home's garage.
Denielle Backstrom said in a Facebook post she was checking emails after pulling into her Colorado Springs garage Tuesday when she realized she wasn't alone in the garage.
Backstrom said she quickly rolled up her window and started filming with her phone.
The video shows the approximately 400-pound bear appear unaffected by the woman shouting, screaming, and honking her horn.
"I can't go because there is a bear behind me," Backstrom laments in the video. "Go away bear!"
She said bears are frequently seen in her neighborhood, and even using her driveway "as a short cut," but she had never had a previous encounter as close as Tuesday's garage incident.
Frank McGee, area manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, said the bear appears to have lost its natural fear of humans, which makes it dangerous.
"This bear demonstrated unusual and disturbing behavior," McGee told KXRM-TV. "Bears don't get that big on natural food alone they have to find human food to get that large."
"At this point it's not safe for us to move this bear anywhere else. If we catch this bear it is going to be euthanized," McGee said.
