WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FACE A CHARGING BEAR

We frequently have to decide whether to fight or flee when faced with danger. Many people's natural instinct when faced with a charging bear is to flee. This reaction, though, has the potential to be more harmful than you may imagine. In a recent video, Scenic Bear Viewing, a wildlife tour company in Homer, Alaska, revealed that, in the event of a bear charging, it is preferable to hold your ground.

A natural grizzly bear can be seen sprinting toward a group of photographers in the brief film. The photographers immediately begin making loud noises to scare the bear away. Martin, one of the certified bear guides, made a daring move when he pretended to pursue the bear, which successfully drove it away.

The video's caption reads, "Even though your natural instinct is to flee, never run from a charging bear." This accusation is a bluff. All they're trying to do is make you flee. Since bears are naturally chasing animals, fleeing may actually intensify their chase. Avoiding approaching natural predators too closely is equally crucial. "Avoid approaching bears in the wild. Make sure a knowledgeable guide is with you, advises Scenic Bear Viewing. We never go any closer than fifty yards. We have previously been the target of bluff charges. This is precisely the scenario for which we are trained.
