A horrific scene during a circus performance has been recorded recently. A bear suddenly lunged towards the handler and seemed to be about to savage him, but something even more unexpected happened.

  

In front of audiences including children, the well-behaved bear lost control out of blue and knocked its master to the floor.

Just then, an assistant beat the bear with a long stick and it stopped attacking immediately before carried on with its performance.

Luckily nobody or animals have been hurt, but it prompt people to rethink should people use wild animals to please customers.  But the circus representative explained: 'The handler and the bear lost their understanding for a moment.It can happen any time. Similar cases happen with dogs, but we didn't make a fuss about it."
