Black bear devours picnic as family freeze to keep themselves safe

A family in Mexico who were having a birthday picnic in a park were interrupted by a hungry black bear who leapt onto their table and proceeded to wolf down their tacos. In a video clip that has gone viral, Silvia Macias of Mexico City bravely shielded her son’s face after the bear discovered their party at Chipinque Park near Monterrey to celebrate the 15th birthday of her son, Santiago, who has Down’s syndrome. The bear hopped onto the table and gulped down the family’s lunch, including french fries, enchiladas, tacos and salsa just inches from the boy’s face. #bear #mexico #birthday Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
