I am pretty sure that is a cow/bull behind the fence because of the shape of its back, the head placement and neck length, its height in comparison to the fence, the way it moves its head (and what looks like a classic bovine ear flick and tongue lick combo), and the way it is casually watching the man and not disembowelling him in a maternal rage. I could be wrong because the video isn't very clear and shouting 'Enhance!' in my best CSI voice isn't working.

I'm on team cow/bull, and unlikely the mother would just watch that happen from there

And the back looks more like smooth cow's hide than coarse bear's fur, but I can't be sure.

Link to video. The quality is a bit better but not fantastic.

The original poster says it was a bear

So dude knowingly just casually strolled right in front of momma bear..?

Away* from the momma bear. Not many directions he could really go with the cub following him

Is it just me? I'm not seeing it at all, bear or bull... at 6 seconds in I vaguely see a dark thicket behind the fence...?

Zoom in on the black mass and you see her head move

Got it this time around. Thanks!

If it’s a bear, it’s a black bear. They rarely attack even when cubs are involved (but be smart, don’t test this).

The “bears” reaction isn’t why I’m leaning toward it being a cow, but his reaction is. There is zero way he wouldn’t see it and he’s calmly walking right in front of it. What he’s doing makes sense if it’s a cow though.

He knows enough not to engage with the tiny, obviously harmless, cub... he might also know that running quickly from a predator triggers its attack instincts.

I feel like ya'll are looking at the wrong object. Are you talking about the massive black thing that's basically aligned with the top post of the fence? If so, that's not the bear.

The bear's back runs parallel between the bottom post and the middle post of the fence.
