“It’s not aggression that sparks
a charging bison, bear, or moose,”
says Jope. “It’s fear. A frightened
animal has only two options: fight
or flight. Bears seldom choose to
fight, but when they do, you’re in
trouble.”

agree that people who cannot avoid
grizzly bears and other dangerous
animals should at least avoid
surprising them.
Wildlife biologists admit that a
vacationer may feel like the en

a charging bear, but they point out
that for every grizzly bear in North
