Statistics suggest there have been over 180 fatal bear attacks in North America since 1784.

What Iâm saying is you have an excellent chance of petting the fluffy puppy and making it out alive. Definitely pet the fluffy puppy.
wow, Iâm surprised how many fatal attacks there are from blacks. maybe itâs a âfrequency x probabilityâ thing where attacks happen so much more often, a lower chance of death still means an overall higher count.
I mean, Iâm not saying we should test this more, but I generally though the black bears mostly avoided you.
The blacks are generally known to be more aggressive.
Grizzlies are territorial but not really interested in people as food so the common advice is to play dead. They just donât want you around.
Black bears will generally try to avoid people, but if they are hungry, they will absolutely attack a human. They will also attack if you accidentally sneak up on one; an important thing to know when hiking.
The general saying is âIf itâs brown, lie down. If itâs black, fight back. If itâs white, goodnight.â
You donât fuck with Polar bears.
what kind of bear racism is this >!!<
Donât most bears generally avoid humans? Iâm guessing most of these attacks were self-defense or getting between her mother and her cubs.
yeah thatâs what I thought. Grizzlies and Polars will F you up much more âoftenâ - but black bears I thought were much less aggressive (as a default) towards humans.
I only want to give a bear lots of belly scritches! Is that so wrong?
