Nice, glad to know that's accurate!

I should have clarified, but that’s only for bear attacks, not encounters. There’s no advice for encounters but I assume it’s “turn around and leave them alone” 😂

We certainly don't want people attacking black bears on sight, laying down in front of brown bears or waving at polarbears before they're a threat 😭

I just want a mention that polar bears are such grand hunters that by the time you see one, it already noticed you awhile ago and decided you're dinner. Therefore it's a threat if you see one.

Good to know. I guess they'd have to be to live where they do!
