I just have to put here one video, where are real encounters with bears from Russia. Even though situations are funny looking, it is good to remember, that there you see wild bears and people. Many times these animals are presented in very dramatic way. For sure they need to be respected, but same time people really should remember too, that they are dangerous to humans only in exceptional situations, when usually someone really manages to surprise them, going too close to carcass etc. or in between mother bear and cubs. Of course kill people sometimes, but that is rare and many times happens, because people have no idea about their behavior. 5:08 starts one of my favorites, what comes to bear encounters :)

Here then again you can see real situation with bear expert and mother bear. From 0:44 to 1:06 you can see how bear makes false/warning attacks and how calmly that man backs off.

 Bears would kill dozens of people every year in Russia.....have you known the latest news that a Russian brown bear has killed his owner who took care him for many years since the young, Brown bear is easily to out of control because it's a smart and powerful carnivore, the similar example like elephant, they all own high intelligence which means they can easy to be kind with human being but also easy to be mad psychologically and choose to attack human being

I know. They have biggest brown bear population in the world and as that video show, also many people acting stupidly I live myself in area where bears can be met in forest, so that thing is nothing unfamiliar for me. Basically every time I go out, there is theoretical possibility to see/meet a bear.  Still I don´t take gun or pepper spray with me when I go to the woods in spring/summer/autumn. And no fear for bears.

It is of course possible to get killed by a bear, but that is either very bad luck, carelessness or ignorance almost every time. Last time in Finland when someone died by a bear attack was about 20 years ago. There are encounters time to time, but bears aren´t aggressive towards people normally. As I said, there are situations, where bear can be unpredictable and even aggressive, but those are rare situations and quite well known if knowing and understanding bear behavior. Reply
