Bear Attack Response

Bear Attack Response refers to the actions to take if you encounter a bear in the wild. First, stay calm and avoid making sudden movements. Speak in a soft, firm voice to show you are human. If the bear approaches, stand your ground and do not run; running may trigger a chase response. Use bear spray if you have it and aim for the bear’s face. If the bear acts aggressively, play dead by lying flat on your stomach and protecting your neck. In a defensive attack, remain still; in a predatory attack, fight back as a last resort.
