Two Fishermen Totally Unaware of the Massive Bear Lurking Behind Them

Two men fishing on the edge of an Alaskan creek were so intent on trapping their own prey, they were unaware of the giant predator lurking behind them. 

An alarming image of the fishing duo shows them standing on the creek in the Katmai National Park, unaware that their fishing expedition had encroached on a hungry bear's territory.   
But despite getting uncomfortably close, the bear appeared less interested in the presence of humans and more on their catch.   

The image of the men's close brush with one of nature's large predators was caught on camera by wildlife photographer Robert Hawthorne, who also alerted them to the potential danger.
