Serbian influencer Stefan Janković has sparked controversy after sharing footage of himself encountering a bear in its den, narrowly escaping the animal, and later climbing a tree to evade two more bears. The incident has led to widespread criticism of Janković’s actions, with many accusing him of putting himself and the bears at risk for the sake of content.
Janković’s video, titled “On the Edge of Life,” shows him cowering in a mud cave as a bear blocks the entrance. The animal eventually retreats, allowing Janković to escape, but only to encounter another bear. This encounter prompted him to climb a tree, only to find himself pursued by two more bears.
While Janković claims to have spent 24 hours in the forest and been attacked by a bear, many have questioned the authenticity of the footage and the circumstances surrounding the incident. Some have argued that the bears appeared to be familiar with Janković, suggesting a staged encounter or the involvement of a handler.
Further fueling speculation, Janković later shared another video showing himself petting a bear, claiming they had become “best friends.” This video also featured a handler, who kept a watchful eye over the encounter.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage online, with many criticizing Janković for putting himself and the bears at risk. Users on social media have condemned his actions, highlighting the danger of interacting with wild animals, even under supervised conditions.
LADbible Group has contacted Janković for comment regarding the incident.
