In the viral video, a woman is filming as a man tries to dissuade the bear from opening the window fully and coming right in. He tries making noise, but that doesn’t work, so the man ends up spraying the bear in the face with water from the kitchen faucet. Ultimately, it works, and the bear leaves.
