If it’s white good night.
Who taught you to rime?
Vanilla Ice. Now stop. Collaborate and listen!
Ice pun you got there.
Polar bears.
This video while long does a great job teaching you how to act in active bear territory.
The TLDW is: -
- In active bear territory carry bear spray and be ready to use it
- You can’t out run a bear don’t try
- bear bells don’t work
- playing dead makes it easier for the bear to maul you
- when hiking with a group and encounter an aggressive bear stand shoulder to shoulder and prepare your bear spray
- let the bear decide how they want to leave the encounter (if they are not attacking you)
- outside of a momma bear, most “attacks” are bluffs but can be scary as shit.
- guns work but you better be a good and quick shot cuz bears run fast and are very intimidating doing so
- a gun shot can help scare away most bears
My chance at pedantry! Also, some black bears are brown, and some grizzlies are black. If you live in overlapping territory, it may be easier to know them by shape… but if you’re close enough to discern shape, you’re already in a bad spot.
Ooh bear facts! My favorite bear fact is that there is no grizzly bear species. Sure, there’s regional genetic variation, but they are all genetically brown bears.
What they are named for is the grey hairs on their pelt, which are caused by the stress of malnutrition. This is why they are so much more aggressive than the other bears: they are literally starving because there is not enough calories in their environment to keep so many land sharks happy and healthy.
Part of me wonders if the gunshot helps whether it would be worth the trouble to carry an air horn.
Maybe, but really when you are in bear territory, and close to areas where bear congregate (rivers being one), just a few loud claps and a couple of loud “HEYS” is good enough to flush most bears.
“I’m a magical red face bear. Come closer, i’ll show you some cool trick”
Rhymes don’t matter if it’s a polar bear.
I’ve actually heard that with black bears the best method is to ditch it in central park with a bicycle.
That only works if you have brain worms
But what if I was out falconing with friends, had a dinner at a super bougie steak house go late, and REALLY have to get to the airport? Surely THAT makes it less insane?
What do I do in event I encounter a sun bear?
This the one the women chose?
Give it a tootsie pop and see how many licks it takes to get to the center
Ask it for head
My first instinct was “small, will probably run into the nearest tree at light speed” but I did some reading and they common thought without much science behind it is that sun bear are pretty fuckin aggressive and even tho they’re small, they’d still probably fuck your shit up.
Lul, yes, indeed.
“The smallest bear” but still just a lewder wolverine.
And with a fancy necklace.
Im so glad I’m not the only one that thought of that
If it’s white, try to lunge your head into the bear’s mouth to make it quick.
Ursaring, Pangoro, and Beartic are all weak to Fighting. So, just make sure you’ve got your Lucario at hand and Calm Mind-ed up, and pummel them with Aura Sphere. That way, you can also keep your distance.
(Yes, I know Pangoro is a panda and not a black bear. But, uhm, uh… shut up!)
Sir, You were almost mouled to death, You are lucky You only lost one arm. Why the hell, did You try to punch that bear? I saw it in a meme once…
Is laying down really a thing with a grizzly? What’s that do?
So racist.
Do you even know the whites are the least privileged?
/s (but also really sad)
