A grizzly bear got a little too curious for a kayaker鈥檚 liking on a river near Squamish.

Corey Boux was part of a tour group paddling down the Elaho River, and started filming when a grizzly bear swam up to a kayaker. He posted the video last weekend.

Yells of 鈥淥h my God!鈥� and 鈥淧addle!鈥� echo from the tour group, as the kayaker turns their boat around and speeds away.
