A video of a giant black bear being scared off by an angry wife has become an online hit.

The clip has been viewed by more than 1.3 million people in just five days.

In the footage, the bear can be seen walking across the garden, before making its way up some steps and onto a porch.

It is then that the animal is confronted by householder Nishanto Grillo shouting: "Get down right now! No! No! No! Down!"

The bear quickly turns tail, hurries down the stairs and makes good its escape across the lawn.

Many YouTube users have been posting comments about the sight of a petite woman ordering a massive black bear off her property.

"Years of practice, that lady has obviously been married for years from the tone of her voice," posted one.
