WATCH: Snowboarder Doesn't Realise She's Being Chased By A Massive Bear

A video is doing the rounds of a woman snowboarding at Hakuba 47 in Japan, blissfully unaware she's being chased by a massive bear.

Now, I know what a lot of you are going to say. This video is fake as fuck.

Well, let's not be too hasty. I'm not sure. When I first saw it this morning I was horrified. I mean, bears are awesome and that, but the idea of one chasing me doesn't really sit well.

Here, check it out...

Some people are having absolutely none of it. Metro reported that 'while brown bears are found on the country's northern island, only black bears live in the wild on the mainland where this video was shot. This animal looks like a brown bear.'

Kelly said: "I'm here with my girlfriends but they were doing lessons and I went off by myself. I've been snowboarding since I was a kid so I felt safe.

"I didn't realise until I looked at the video today! I was freaking out when I saw it and showed my friends who told me to put it on YouTube.

"I've told the ski resort people but I'm not sure if they're going to do anything. Their English wasn't very good so it was hard to understand each other.

"It was so scary!"
