Don't Say This Blog Never Taught You Nuthin'.

Sep 24, 2008 11:59

I just learned that to survive a grizzly bear attack you should play dead, and to survive a black bear attack you should fight back.

I did not know that. Most of you probably did, and it will be like that one time when I was like "Hey! Hey you guys. Did you know that Toto's Rosanna was written about Rosanna Arquette?" And you all stare at me ( Read more... )

A grizzly bear once looked at me in the wild and scared the shit out of me but I bet I could take a black bear down. You know, depending on the size of it and all.

I have no doubts about that, friend.

So, do Grizzlies and Black bears look different enough to be able to figure out which fighting style to use?

PS - Why is my daughter screaming? I should probably go see.

Yes. Google it. For both questions.

Grizzlies are generally brown and large while black bears are smaller and...black :)

They also dont live too much in the same parts of the country I dont think.

You're killing me here, why was she screaming?

She wasn't getting her way. No worries.:)

If I saw a bear I am pretty sure that I wouldn't think... "Hmmm, what color is it? Do I fight or do I flight? What was it that Jenn's livejournal post said?!?! Ah, I should fight.... got it!"

My rugged-camping type boyfriend said "Yeah, I knew that... and who doesn't know the difference between a grizzly and a black bear?!" To which I replied "Uh, me!"

It might help if you think brown vs. black. I actually specified "grizzly bear" because I thought everyone was going to laugh at me if I said "brown bear." I thought surely someone would be like, "WTF is this 'brown bear', it's a GRIZZLY."

See, I think I could stun the bear by asking it's race. You know, like, "Are you sure you're a Black Bear? I mean, you look more Brown. Where are you from? Your accent says Nigeria, but you kinda seem more Indian." Then while it's perplexed and somewhat offended I'd run.
