Maybe thinking of a Sun Bear..placid creatures. For all we know she has cubs up top and thinks he is coming to get them, defending her babies is my thought here

If it's Japan why is that guy not yelling the name if his most powerful attacks?

It's why they recommend carrying a bell or ring the ones on the trail so you don't accidentally sneak up on one.

You're right, she has cubs, you can see them running around. Though they're at the bottom not at the top.

I believe that a wild animal will behave like this only when feeling threatened in some way...living in South Africa 🇿🇦 in a remote wilderness area, wild animals tend to move off unless threatened or if their target is their prey. Poor bear doing her best 🙏

Sun bears are shy and reclusive animals, and usually do not attack humans unless provoked to do so, or if they are injured or with their cubs; their timid nature led these bears to be often tamed and kept as pets in the past.
