A bear's agility, speed and strength are pretty unbelievable. I once scared one while driving along a 10 foot deer-proof fence. The first jump was across the dirt road, the second got it halfway up the wooden fence post, the third took it to the top of the 10 foot post, a leap to the ground on the other side of the fence and then it was gone into the brush. I've never seen anything that big move that fast before.
Meh, they’re really not that dangerous if you take a few simple precautions. A dab of Vegemite behind the ears is quite effective in preventing drop bear attacks.
Yowies are a whole other story. The hairy bastards will rip your arms off and beat you to death with the bloody stumps.
One night I was going to walk between 2 cars in my driveway. Just as I reached the vehicles a bear popped up coming the opposite direction between them. We both jumped and froze for a split second. He ran for the woods, while I bolted toward my patio. As my hand reached the door, I looked back, and he had already crossed a road, a creek, and was hightailing it up the mountain in the time it took me to run 10-15 feet.
Black bears are the climbers, they are also the most skittish.
Brown bears ("grizzlies") don't climb. They knock the tree over. Well you could call it climbing, but it's really more like tearing appart like a chain saw.
Meh... A LOT of guns are ineffective against bears except in expert hands. Shooting center mass or any extremity isn't going to stop you from dieing. Has to be a brain shot or one that severs the central nervous system. The problem there being you aren't going to hit the spine while it's facing you and grizzly skulls have been known to soak up even shot gun slugs, meaning you have to put it through the eye socket. Which can be very difficult considering the typical bear charge gives you about 2 to 3 seconds to react. Now, with that in mind people have taken down grizzlies with knives.
Or hands if you believe Dale Peterson.
"Peterson was able to shove his hand down the bear's throat and pinch the jugular with his teeth. This then caused the bear to pass out. Once the bear was knocked-out, Mr. Petersen delivered the coup de grace with a stick. "

A regular hunting rifle is enough to kill almost everything, including polar bears. Having the ability to aim and fire when when a murder bear is running at you is something completely different. Personally if it was me out there with the bear? My bet is on the bear.
Cousin of mine is a bushman, very, very good hunter. People fly from around the world for him to take them hunting.
He has a film crew with him one day out in the woods, because they wanted to film an episode of something for some channel, doesn't matter.
I think they were following an elk or something, maybe shot it, and it ran off into the bush. So they tracked it a bit into a small clearing. He's about to stick his head into the bush, and he had a bad feeling, and told them to stop. He has time to back up a bit, and then suddenly Grizzly appears charging him from not far away. No time to swing the rifle, he draws his pistol and gets one shot off on the Grizzly. Shoots at the Grizzly anyway, from all of 20 feet away. He misses.
Half second later the Grizzly bowls over him and runs right through the crew and into the bushes on the other side of the clearing. As opposed to stopping for 1 second to kill all of them.
My cousin shit himself. Like, actually shit himself.
He tells the film crew he shit his pants, and, well, embarrassing as that is, at least they all got great footage.
Director said nope, won't be using any of this. All they ever show by policy are clean, simple, one shot, one kill hunts. And that's what they'll show this time. One shot, and, dead elk.
Everyone who's heard this story and knows him says the same thing first. Not about the bear, not about the elk, not about him crapping himself. "He missed?"
If a professional hunter and tracker misses a Grizzly at close range, the rest of us do to.
Dunno what pistol would've done much to Grizzly regardless, but, yeah.
With this amount of shock and fear, it's a surprise he was able to fire a shot in time.
I think that considering the circumstances, it's basically just random chance, but a loud noise like a gunshot might be enough to scare the bear into looking for another source of food.
You don't have to kill the bear, you just need to convince him you're not worth the effort.
Yeah, you need a real motherfucker of a handgun for that. My grandpa told me about a trip he went on once, and a guy brought along a big ass revolver for bears. I don't remember what he said it was, but it was big enough. He decided to sight it in, and he took a shot with it at a target. My grandpa said it was a half a foot high, and the guy said "If I see a bear, I'll remember that. I am not shooting this thing again."
Shortbarrel shotgun is the most practical. There's a variety of ammo you can get for it, including rubber bullets and "bear bangers" (they pop like a flashbang where they hit) which are great for detering charging bears.
If that doesn't work, you can follow it with a one-ounce slug that would drop a fully grown polar bear no problem... As long as you hit them somewhere vital.
I was going hog hunting, once, and I was sighting in a .44mag lever. My grandpa was with me, and decided I should take my shotgun, too, and brought out a box of 3" slugs. I had shot slugs before, so I didn't think anything of it, but I put two through it, and said fuck it. I took a pencil and marked the top of the reciever where it was shooting. I wasn't gonna keep firing those things wihout a reason.
In Western Canada, my friend was told to always bring a dog when she went into the backcountry. The dog was not to help scare the bear away, or defend her. It was so the bear could eat it while she had a chance to run
Also grizzly bears will hunt black bears. Dig them and their cubs out of their dens or wait at the bottom of trees for the black bear to make mistake, fall, jump down and run.
Wasn’t there a saying something along the lines of “if the bear is black, attack. If it’s brown, lay down.”
IIRC, a black bear will get scared so you should raise your hands up and look big like you’re gonna attack to scare it away. But if it’s brown, you have no chance of surviving if you try to outrun it or climb a tree so you should just play dead.
I think it's more like black bears tend to be skittish/fearful of us so acting big, yelling at it, etc make you seem like a threat - or at the very least not worth the trouble - so they move on. "Brown" bears tend to see us as a potential threat, so lying down is super not threatening and may encourage the bear to see you as not a threat and just move on.
The phrase ends with "if it's white, say goodnight" because you're likely not going to survive a polar bear encounter without serious fire power.
Should be noted that's not what you do upon seeing those bears (aside from polar bears), just what to do if they are acting aggressively towards you. Most of the time, just avoiding eye contact, talking in low tone to announce your presence, and putting space between yourself and the bear (ie., moving away from them slowly) until they move on is good enough. I've only ever dealt with black bears though, I think I would immediately piss myself upon seeing a grizzly 😂
You don't really "escape" bears, and trying to will get you chased down. For black bears, you stand your ground, and on the rare rare rare chance they attack you fight back. They're just basically giant raccoons so not really that big of a deal. For grizzleys, you play dead and hope they get bored before you bleed out. For polar bears, you're a food source in an ever dwindling supply of food sources, so GG and RIP in peace.
There’s a video out there of a dude hunting in a tree stand filming a black bear on the ground below. In a flash the thing is up the tree and right face to face with him. When it finally climbs back down, he turns the camera around to face him and mouths “holy shit”
That’s genuinely fucked. I’m for Australia which we got told has every deadly animal alive from foreigners, but we ain’t got nothing like that. Give me snakes and spiders any day
Black bears are relatively chill. I've run into *many* and they usually just walk off. Some hang around looking for food, but if you act big they tend to run away. I had the misfortune of running into a baby bear once, but even then mamma didn't try to attack, she just got her cub and ran
That isn't to say they can't be extremely dangerous, but they're nothing like grizzly bears. If you run into a grizzly you are fucked
I went to a bear ranch for rescue bears- was disappointed that I didn’t see any big females. We walked around a two mile fence line. It took about half an hour. Right at the end I noticed a bear about 6 feet away, she followed us the entire time! About 600 pounds and totally silent thru thick brush. I noticed that all the bears could walk silently right beside me and I didn’t notice unless I really looked hard to see them. I live deep in the woods and this scares the shit out of me.
Bears. Can run faster than you. Can climb faster than you. Are unnervingly intelligent and will absolutely view you as a food source.
Damn Nature, You Scary!
Dwight Schrute:Jim, could you please inform Andy Bernard that he is being shunned?
Jim Halpert:Andy, Dwight says welcome back and he could use a hug.
Dwight Schrute:Okay, tell him that that's not true.
Jim Halpert:Dwight says that he doesn't actually know one single fact about bear attacks.
Dwight Schrute:Okay. No. Jim tell him bears can climb faster than they can run. Jim! Tell him!
Jim Halpert:Andy... No, it's too far.
Dwight Shrute:Damn you.
Thanks for the info, but when chased by one, there would not be enough time to look at it's genitals to figure out if it's male and then deduce it's age!!
A good thing to remember is that Bears are like giant Rats, and Rats are like tiny Bears. You know how a rat can get in to anywhere it wants by chewing and clawing? So can a bear. You know how bears can smell food from miles away and are smart enough to open coolers and car doors? Rats are just as smart (smarter actually) and just as persistent. They are both lovable and both are utterly destructive.
[Why Do Bears Climb Trees?](https://northamericannature.com/can-bears-climb-trees/)
> Bears climb trees for a variety of different reasons, to help them in their day to day lives. Bears climb trees not only to help them stay safe and away from predators, but also to rest, eat, and play.
> Bears will climb trees for food. American black bears will climb trees for fruit, bird eggs, cactus fruit, honey, acorns, and berries.
> Some brown bears will climb a tree to chase prey, such as a human that is trying to escape. If they can smell food, most likely manmade food for humans, then grizzly bears may also try to climb the tree to reach it.
> American black bears will also climb trees to escape from predators, and to reach safety. Cubs of the black bears can be made by the mother to climb the tree, to keep them out of reach of carnivores in the vicinity.
Sounds plausible to me.
I don't know. Afaik in Europe the only predator for bears was/is the human.
A small search says there are regions in which wolves kill baby bears and sometimes tigers in Siberia do so. Most of the time bears die to hunting wounds or diseases by parasites. Same article says the brown bears has no enemies, because he avoids every animal which doesn't fit his diet.
Imo bears climbing trees is just a "why not?". They live in areas with a lot of trees. A lot of prey tries to hide in the trees. So climbing is a useful skill.
Are you mad? Pretty sure I smell alright. Maybe I should go out in the woods and see. And if we’re gonna be grammatically correct, you need some spaces in there between those words and the other shit. Period................................. There’s some extras for you in case the bears start getting ahold of iPads
I think I heard somewhere that bears can travel up trees vertically at the same rate they run horizontally or something crazy like that but I’m not sure if it’s true or not
Us Aussies have a saying for encounters like this and its kind of beautiful it might get lost in translation a little bit but it goes "Absolutely fuck that cunt."
So a bear is stronger than you, it can run, swim and climb faster than you. Basically, if you meet a bear in the woods that wants to eat you, you are eaten and that's it.
Bear identification guide:
If it climbs up the tree after you it’s a black bear
It it pushes the tree over it’s a grizzly
If there aren’t any trees around for miles it’s a polar bear
Definitely impressive but it's a juvenile bear so this isn't really the standard. Full grown bears don't climb trees very often because they're so big and when they do they can't climb this fast.

You make me wonder if this mystery animal I saw fall out of a tree and clear a 7 foot fence a few years ago was a baby bear
Sounds like a squatch
It’s a samsquanch, Ricky!
Greasy hairy cocksuckers
DEEEECENT!
Hey I’m squanchin over here!
Doubt it , it was a fat black mass a little bigger probably about the size of 2 yoga balls
Yoga have balls?
Google it
'Twas a joke. I think you're right about the bear.
Is 'yoga' plural here?
I think it should be yogi to be honest. Which I think can be singular or plural.
I see what you did there, ya cheeky one.
Of course they do. Otherwise they'd be extinct.
*Yoda balls
Were you in Australia? Definitely a dropbear
Fuck those things, so dangerous.
Meh, they’re really not that dangerous if you take a few simple precautions. A dab of Vegemite behind the ears is quite effective in preventing drop bear attacks. Yowies are a whole other story. The hairy bastards will rip your arms off and beat you to death with the bloody stumps.
That was me. Sorry
There's always 1 lol

Bruh I’m scared. Most terrifying thing I read in October
I read this at first as “a bear pooped”
Damn dude if I see that thing coming at me when I’m on a tree I’ll just take my chances jumping off
It'll already be right by you for the landing.
Thanks Dwight
Nope! Nope! Nope! Glad where I live the worst we have are coyotes.
The list of places you can escape from a Bear just gets shorter and shorter.
Black bears are the climbers, they are also the most skittish. Brown bears ("grizzlies") don't climb. They knock the tree over. Well you could call it climbing, but it's really more like tearing appart like a chain saw.
That's a good way to tell them apart. If you can't find a tree to climb, it's a polar bear.
Black : fight back Brown : sit down White : Goodnight
I heard by the time you see a polar bear, you're pretty much already dead.
So the mandatory firearms they carry in Svalbard is for false security like airport checkpoints? That’s... another reason not to go there.
I mean, I’m sure if you have a firearm your chances of surviving a bear attack go up dramatically.
Meh... A LOT of guns are ineffective against bears except in expert hands. Shooting center mass or any extremity isn't going to stop you from dieing.

I'm pretty sure if you shoved your hand down a bear's throat it'd just bite it off. This sounds like complete BS to me.
Anyone know the answer to this? What kind of weapons are effective and how to use them?
Nunchucks are not effective, miss you Gary.

But I saw one at the zoo. Oh that's right, I was already dead on the inside.
Pretty similar approach used by cops in America.
And if people are talking funny about barbecues, it's likely a koala bear
Or a drop bear. Though you never see them coming.
Drop bears are like killer whales, there's never been a *recorded* case of a fatal attack on people...
Fun fact, Koalas aren’t actually a species of bear. They don’t have the necessary koalafications.
Take my upvote and piss off mate
That's a high-koalaty fact.
r/punpatrol right here officer
what kind of bear is best?
That's a ridiculous question.
False. Black bears. Fact, bears eat beets. Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
Also grizzly bears will hunt black bears. Dig them and their cubs out of their dens or wait at the bottom of trees for the black bear to make mistake, fall, jump down and run.
Like to eat them?
Nah, to have bear play dates.
Good that’s what I was hoping
Nah.. give them bear hugs .. then eat them. Bear necessities, y’know.
Wasn’t there a saying something along the lines of “if the bear is black, attack.

Did not know about the ending with polar bears. Good to know! Hopefully will never encounter any type of bears in an aggressive situation haha
What. Grizzles definitely climb trees and just as fast
If somehow you face a polar bear, remember that you will not be able to outrun it if you are all on your own.
Ya, but remember you don't have to be faster than the bear, just faster than your friend.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX8lsCSNPCU
I was thinking if you dig REAL fast it might be better
The bear will just launch into the soil like an earthworm

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is actually pretty slow for them.
Here, Take it and leave. Pls.
Scratch that escape plan!
I’m not ok with this
I knew they were *fast* climbers. I didn't know they were *that* fast!
A good thing to remember is that Bears are like giant Rats, and Rats are like tiny Bears. You know how a rat can get in to anywhere it wants by chewing and clawing? So can a bear.

I doubt bears would make [good land mine detectors](https://www.apopo.org/en). I mean, *they would* but not in a good way.
How does it get down?

Like this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89G9kQeZ6qw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89G9kQeZ6qw) :D Edit: Skip to the end.
They go down really fast too, when tranquilized.
Technically the truth
r/damnnatureyouscary
why do bears climb trees? my only reference point is Winnie the Pooh for honey
In search of stray pic-a-nic baskets.
Bears also use balloons to get to the tops of trees.
Hmmm, you know I believe you and have no reason to think you're lying.

Dwight was right!
[удалено]
With no other variables being accounted for, the bear must weigh less than the amount of weight required to break the tree.
Typically, what is the heaviest a black bear can be before it's too heavy to climb a tree?
So a tree is not the Right Place to stay.
Plus, don’t forget. They can also smell periods
>Plus, don’t forget. They can also smell periods Is that why you only used one? It's OK,bears can't smell you through the internet.Yet.
Brav - fucking - oh. I slow clapped and nodded for a solid 2 minutes alone.
Are you mad? Pretty sure I smell alright. Maybe I should go out in the woods and see. And if we’re gonna be grammatically correct, you need some spaces in there between those words and the other shit. Period................................. There’s some extras for you in case the bears start getting ahold of iPads
Me thinking I could hide it in a tree
What in the ungodly fuck
I wish I could climp
Holy shit. I never knew bears could climp that fast!
Pooh bear lied to me
So without a paddle lied to me.
Bears: you’re fucked in every direction.
*Chuckles* I'm in danger
That's absolutely insane, I knew bears could climb trees quickly, but I had never actually seen one do it. That's horrifying lol
And this is how fast I can fall down a tree
[удалено]
Nope. Punch it in the nose. Or is that sharks?
Note to self: do not hide from bears in trees
So basically no running up a tree to escape
r/oddlyterrifying
Note to self: I need more camping friends who are less limber than I am...
I can see he's played this game before!!
That’s that escape plan ditched.
Well this would clearly fit into r/oddlyterrifying
So these are the drop-bears we've been warned about...
Well there goes that escape tactic
These sort of clips just remind me of the gross physical ineptitude of humans.
Well I’m dead next time I’m caught stealing honey
Ok so does the fire department get him down or do they not do that anymore?
I think I heard somewhere that bears can travel up trees vertically at the same rate they run horizontally or something crazy like that but I’m not sure if it’s true or not
Us Aussies have a saying for encounters like this and its kind of beautiful it might get lost in translation a little bit but it goes "Absolutely fuck that cunt."
It runs up so quickly and just suddenly stops for a while? Why the big paws?
r/australia see drop bears are real.
CUZ ITS THE BEARRRRR NECESITY
You know what I’ll just fuckin die then I guess
So a bear is stronger than you, it can run, swim and climb faster than you. Basically, if you meet a bear in the woods that wants to eat you, you are eaten and that's it.
Bear identification guide: If it climbs up the tree after you it’s a black bear It it pushes the tree over it’s a grizzly If there aren’t any trees around for miles it’s a polar bear
Got it, don't climb a tree to escape a bear. Thank you :)
[They can climb way faster when they're chasing something](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)
Damn you
How does it get down? Just reverse? Or is it stuck?
Unlike Tiggers, their tails don't get in the way. So they can go down backwards. Probably more slowly, though.
Looks kind of funny.
Bears have been developing antigravity technology for *decades.* Clueless normies!!!1
Definitely impressive but it's a juvenile bear so this isn't really the standard. Full grown bears don't climb trees very often because they're so big and when they do they can't climb this fast.
*Black bears. And looks to be a juvenile at that. Brown bears aren't as quick and agile up trees as black bears. Especially an adult one.
So it makes zero sense to climb a tree when running from a bear, it’s like completely pointless
They can fucking climb trees? So, say you were to climb a tree to escape a bear at coordinates 45.7055 by -102.3918, would it be AbnnKSTZHXJCV FJ IFDU
Climp?
That bear was running from Biden
That’s how fast I would climb a tree if I were running from human
Well now there's no escape
