In the caption of the post, Rogan wrote, “This video is going around the internet, and it’s a great wake-up call for people who have a distorted idea of what a wild predator is like. Bears are cool, fascinating animals, but they live a brutal and ruthless life. This guy is very fortunate that he got out of this relatively unscathed.”

The comedian has always been vocal about the animal as one of the most dangerous and unpredictable. Meanwhile, he also suggested people always protect themselves while traveling in the woods or mountains. Specifically, because one might encounter these bears.
