A MOTORCYCLIST met a tragic end after being attacked by a bear following an attempt to take smiling selfies and videos with the dangerous wild animal.

Omar Farang Zin, aged 48, was on holiday in Romania when he made the ill-advised decision to approach the bears.

The Italian was riding along the stunning Transfagarasan road, which was famously described as the “most beautiful in the world” by Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear.

He encountered multiple bears along the route and uploaded a stash of content to his social media.

One video shows of a shaggy beast peering onto the road as his trundles past.

And he meets another bear in a car park.

Photos show Omar, kitted out in sunnies a helmet for his pleasure ride, grinning and pointing to a brown bear who is standing just metres away.

He also took a video of the predator as it prowled around the area, flicking menacing glares at the camera.

The biker can be heard saying: “Here is the bear! How beautiful! It’s coming towards me,” in his native Italian.

Omar returned the next day in the hope of finding more bears – but that would turn out to be a terrible mistake.

He found a bear with cubs and tried to feed it – but the animal charged at him and attacked.

The beast dragged Omar about 60 metres into a ravine, where it mauled him to death.

Passing motorists witnessed the harrowing scene and immediately called the emergency services.

Police officers, firefighters and forest rangers all rushed to the scene – but Omar could not be saved.

The rescue teams managed to recover his body, which was covered in bite wounds, and took it away for a post-mortem.

Officials also found his mobile, which reportedly contained photos Omar had taken of the bear which moments later killed him.

Armand Chiriloiu, director of the forest authority, told Romanian newspaper Cancan: “He got off his motorbike and offered some food to the bear.

“The Italian tourist’s phone was also found, which contained some photos taken before the attack.

“As the bear approached, he approached. With photos, close-ups.”

The area was cleared following the fatal encounter and the bear was later shot dead.

He also took a video of the bear as he passed it on his bike.

The clip shows a shaggy bear peering onto the road over a barrier as Zin trundles past on his bike.
