Grizzly attacks two women out for a hike

Folks who grew up in a rural environment, and live and recreate in griz country often find going into large cities more dangerous.

It's pretty easy to see how city folk get themselves in trouble thinking in rural areas, especially in the wilds of the western US, are big open-air petting zoos. Case in point the idiots that want selfies with bison in Yellowstone NP and with other wild critters.

Don't you believe it. Black bear attacks are extremely rare, but they do happen.

Bear with some statistics ( pun not intended ) .

Bear per bear , encounter per encounter , Griz are more dangerous .

But the population of Blacks is 20X that of Grizz , and Black commonly live in close proximity to humans . Quick search shows modern era Black Deaths about 50% of Grizz .

It would take some digging for year by year numbers , but a decade or two ago , it was commonly reported as being more deaths from Blacks than Grizz .

Since then , we've had spikes in Grizz attacks disporportionate to population changes

Blacks may be small and weak compared to Grizz , but can still easily put down a mere human in hand to hand ( hand to paw ) .

Here locally, we call them Tourons, which is a cross between Tourist and Moron.

Our friends from across the Pacific (not Japan, not Korea, not Indonesia) are the worst. I see them in your picture. Aggressive little bass turds also!
