A resident of Transbaikalia asked the bear for a cigarette, mistaking it for a human, his son Vladimir told RIA Novosti.
It all happened when the man and his friends went into the forest to get cedar cones; In the evening he was already tired.
Through the dark clouds, I saw: Molly seemed to be a low man with a backpack going slowly, languishing. His father obtained him and asked him to light a cigarette while he was carrying his backpack. But instead of a cloth, I felt a wool under my hands. They both screamed: The bear raised his voice loud.
According to him, after that, the father hurried to Bivok to get a gun, but when he returned, the animal was no longer there.
