This is the terrifying moment when a male grizzly bear charged a petrified group of sightseers in the Katmai National park in Alaska. The 10 tourists were hoping to view the bears hunting for salmon but suddenly they became the hunted as the the 40-stone predator charged them without warning. The men and women had little choice but to sit perfectly still while the lone bear came within inches of them. At one stage it even sniffed the hoodie of one member. Their guide advised the party not to jump up or run away as that would have prompted the fearsome creature to go on the attack and bring the trip to a grisly end. Instead it circled the group several times before wandering off when it lost interest.
