This is one bear-ly believable snowboard video.
Amateur snowboarder Kelly Murphy was riding Hakuba 47 in central Japan on Saturday (April 9), oblivious to the fact that a bear was hot on her tail.
According to Murphy's YouTube channel, she only saw the animal when she watched back her selfie footage. Hmm...
OMG! I was going through my snowboarding videos and I found a bear chasing me!!! I nearly got eaten!!! Be careful people!!!

Even better, Murphy is singing Rihanna's Work all the way down the mountain.
The footage and the story are amazing, but are they real? Tell us what you think.
And if the bear really did chase Murphy down the mountain, what was its motivation? Was it hungry, or is it just more of a Beyoncé fan?
