“I’m just glad it is giving people a good laugh.”Hilarious moment Scot chases bear away from plum tree at Canada home
A Scottish mum who lived in Canada has gone viral after hilarious footage blew up online of her chasing a bear out of her garden. Allie Noble was caught on camera confronting the creature, shouting and gesturing until it beat a hasty retreat.
She showed no signs of fear despite the dangerous black bear being so close to her. She even went to great lengths to keep it away from her precious plum tree.
The mum-of-four can be heard yelling “it better not eat my f***ing plums – it is! Move, move.” She then opens the door and shoos it away, shouting again: “Move! Away from my plums!”.
Thousands of TikTok users have been left in stitches after watching the clip. However, Allie, 32, explained this was nothing out of the ordinary, with bears a regular sight near her home.
She told the Daily Record: “I lived on Vancouver Island for three years, and honestly, this kind of thing happened all the time. Bears are quite common, especially if you have fruit trees.
“I had cherry plums and cherries in the garden, so they were always coming around. It is quite difficult to grow them so I wanted to get him away.
“You’re also not supposed to feed them because if they keep coming back, they’ll eventually be put down. So I was trying to scare it off for its own good as much as ours.”
Despite how perilous her situation looked, Allie said the reality is far less dramatic. “They’re more scared of you than you are of them”, she added. I’ve had them walk right past me while I was outside with the kids – they don’t even seem bothered.”
The incident occurred last summer and Allie, from Pollok, in Glasgow, has now moved back home. She said the video was never meant to go public but, after months of trying, her brother eventually convinced her to post it.
“He kept telling me to share it because he found it so funny, but I’m not really into social media,” she said. “I’ve got four kids, so I’m busy – I don’t post much. But I finally put it up and it just blew up.”
The reaction caught Allie completely by surprise. She added: “I was so embarrassed. I turned my phone off because I couldn’t believe how far it had gone. I’m just glad it is giving people a good laugh.”
The clip has been viewed on TikTok nearly 50,000 times and users flooded to the comments in disbelief at the hilarious encounter. One person wrote: “This is the most Scottish maw thing I have ever seen! The bear is no match!!”
Another said: “I’m howling at you pssssssting it like it’s a cat. Oh my days.” Meanwhile, a third added: “I have never been more proud to be Scottish.”
