Six percent of people think they can beat a grizzly bear

Black Bears are considered more dangerous than browns. The reason is blacks are usually around heavy vegetation
and easily surprised at a close distance. Grizzlys are usually seen in open areas and know humans are coming.

Once again, I'm no bear expert. My father just taught me a lot about them during his time in AK.

If the black bears are the more aggressive species, then the brown bears must be super timid & docile. I’ve come in close proximity to three black bears over the years while playing golf. Almost before I could begin to observe what they were doing, they darted away from me into the woods. Either they are extremely shy of human confrontation, or they were hoping I’d chase them to a secluded place where they could hide my freshly mauled body. :scratch:
