In a heart-pounding encounter that has captivated viewers around the world, Serbian influencer Stefan Janković found himself in a life-or-death situation after stumbling into a bear’s den—just as the massive predator returned home.

Janković, known for his daring and adventurous content, shared two clips of his near-death experience on social media, showcasing his remarkable calm as he came face-to-face with the wild beast. The first video opens with Janković inside the bear’s den, watching in tense silence as the enormous brown bear approaches, clearly curious about the unexpected intruder.

The bear, cautious yet intrigued, inches closer to Janković, sniffing the air as it tries to make sense of the strange situation. With every step, the influencer carefully edges toward the entrance of the den, attempting to avoid provoking the animal while capturing the entire encounter on his phone. In a chilling moment, the bear sniffs his head and phone, coming within inches of the influencer. This remarkable footage has sparked widespread amazement across the internet.

The second clip is no less dramatic. It shows Janković perched high in a tree while two curious bears linger below. One of the bears claws at the tree’s base, making it clear that the influencer is not out of danger yet. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” Janković says in the video, as translated by the *Daily Star*. “I spend 24 hours in the forest, and a bear attacks me. It’s waiting for me, and there’s another one.”

While Janković’s video has racked up nearly 100,000 views on X (formerly known as Twitter), the influencer has remained tight-lipped about how he ended up in the perilous situation in the first place. The video, titled *On the Edge of Life*, is indeed aptly named—capturing the raw fear and excitement of a man mere moments away from disaster.

Brown bears, native to Serbia, are typically wary of humans and avoid confrontation. However, they can become extremely dangerous if they feel threatened or if humans invade their territory. Janković’s close encounter with not just one, but two bears, highlights the very real risks involved in venturing into the wilderness unprepared. While many social media influencers chase fame by pushing the limits, this encounter serves as a stark reminder that nature is unpredictable and unforgiving.

Though Janković managed to escape unscathed, his videos have sparked a larger conversation about the dangers of thrill-seeking stunts for the sake of social media attention. As viewers praise his bravery, others are left questioning the wisdom of such high-risk content creation. What could have easily turned into a fatal encounter has, instead, become a viral sensation—though one has to wonder, at what cost?

This incident also serves as a reminder of the majesty and power of nature, something that many in the urban, modern world may take for granted. Despite the thrill of the footage, it’s clear that wild animals, like the bears Janković encountered, deserve respect and distance. It remains to be seen whether the influencer will share more details about how he managed to escape or if he will continue to push the boundaries of risk for more viral content.

For now, Janković’s followers are left in awe—and perhaps a bit wary—of the real dangers that lurk behind the thrilling stunts seen on social media.
