The bear at North America are North American Black Bears and North American brown bears, including Kodiak and Grizzlies. Bears are intelligent and potentially dangerous animals. Most people that get killed by bears are people that are afraid of bears. Bears don't like noises and want a lot of space. You can never outrun a bears because they run 35 miles an hour and like dogs they will chase fleeing animals. Standing bears are sometimes threatening and mostly curious. A shotgun would not kill a bear because of its thick hide. Learning where their territory is can help you avoid serious injury. In summary: Avoid surprising bears at close distance, look for signs of bears and make plenty of noise. Avoid crowding bears; respect their "personal space." Avoid attracting bears through improper handling of food or garbage. Plan ahead, stay calm, identify yourself, don't run.
