Tourist wades through river to take selfie next to group of bears

This is the moment a dozy tourist waded through a river to take a SELFIE next to a group of hungry brown bears. The thrillseeker was caught on CCTV trying to get a close-up view of the animals as they fished for salmon in the restricted area of a wildlife preserve. Park officials said he risked his life - and that of the bears - by traipsing through the water before turning and snapping a selfie. The man, who was in a group of three, was filmed on the Brooks Falls live stream, a camera rigged up to allow nature lovers to observe the bears in their natural habitat. He could face charges following the incident near Brook Falls at the Katmai National Park & Preserve in Alaska, USA, on August 9.
