Bear Attack!

If you were hiking and you saw a bear coming slowly towards you, what would you do?

Well, all of these are possible, that the best thing to do depends on the moods that the bear is in. If it comes towards you slowly, experts says you should talk to it quietly, walk away as slowly as possible, and don't look the bear in the eye. It's possible that it will lose interest.

If not.. then be aggressive, make a noise, and wave your hands. If this doesn't work, and the bear continues to come towards you, then run. But only if you sure that you can reach somewhere safe before the bear reaches you. And remember that bears can run as fast as an Olympic sprinter. Don't climb a tree. Bears climb them all day long, and they can climb better than you can. Water is also not safe. Bears love water and are excellent swimmers. If your car is nearby, try to get inside.

If a bear attacks you, then you can pretend to be dead. Bears who don't want to eat you may lose interest and go away. If you have pepper spray, then spray it in the bear's face. This works 75% of the time. The final possibility is to fight back. Most bears are much bigger and stronger than you, but they may be surprised.

My final advice? It's much better to avoid bears than to do any of the things above.. :p
