A resident of the Transbaikal region in Russia tried to stick a cigarette on a bear, mistaking it for a guy.
The man spotted what he thought was a "short guy with a backpack" in the woods. He caught up with him, patted him on the back and asked for a cigarette.
Instead of a backpack, he felt fur. They were both really scared. The man hurried to get his rifle, while the bear decided not to stick around and just ran away.
