This grizzly followed a Calgary couple along a popular trail until they finally roared at it [View all]

Howard Mah and Lori Arnason had never seen a wild grizzly until Saturday.

And if they ever see one again, they'll be sure to be carrying bear spray the next time.

At one point in the footage, the bear rises on its hind legs, snorts and waves its front paws in the air as it accelerates briefly toward the couple, before resuming its plodding pace.

Mah said the animal made that "aggressive move" a few times during the encounter.

He estimates the bear came within about 15 metres of them as they continued to walk backwards, wondering if it would ever stop following them.
