I love bears, they're such goofy animals while simultaneously being fucking terrifying.
Really neat how the bear checks the strength of the cable before putting all of its body weight on it
Aww he hit his little snoot on the way down, otherwise very cute.
anyone else see bears as like the next evolutionary step in dog to full bipedal sapience?
National Park Service article. In both cases attacks are very rare, you'll be fine 99% of the time by backing off and giving them space, and you should only make yourself look big and make a ton of noise if that doesn't work (or if it isn't an option, such as if the bear is attacking your dog).
For both kinds you want to walk away slowly while making it very obvious that you can see them. Brown bears you play dead if it comes at you, black bears you whack them in the face until they go away.
this is missing the Mission Impossible theme in the background
