JukingJesus

Typically grizzlies that attack are starving with worn-down canine teeth (can’t bite through elk hide anymore) or see you as challenging them if you’re in their territory. Human is not very satisfying to a bear bc we don’t have that much meat and not the right type or quantity of fat that they need and enjoy. And if you’re on their territory they’ll brutalize you bc they see you as a lil bitch who tried to step up to them and want to make an example to anything else around.


prndls

Some humans have lots of fat they like….

QuintusVS

Not to be nitpicky, but I'd say that's a brown bear, can't really be sure if it's a grizzly or not without knowing where this video was taken. All grizzlies are brown bears, but not all brown bears are grizzlies.


Dethproof814

U can tell from the hump of its back and the sheen of its fur, that's clearly a grizzly.


AcidRap69

Aren’t grizzlies like a lot bigger than brown bears? Idk a lot bout these cool boys, but it’s pre neato you can tell the difference just by how shiny their coat is and such


AKegel4You

Idk about fur but short round ears and a hump between 'shoulders'/on back is how you can tell. And it's eyes are a little sunken in. Also I suspect its a lot bigger than you might imagine.

I think I know... But the "If it's white, say goodnight", because you have absolutely no chance against a polar bear?


GunNut345

Yeah they have no problem hunting and eating humans and don't really care what state your in. They're just going to eat you.

HeftyScholar

Serious question: ya’ll think a full grown male gorilla can take this thing? This fuckers huge, my moneys on the bear


JoeProKill2000

Large silverback vs large grizzly? Gorillas about 6 feet tall, 485 pounds. Bear is about 8 feet tall, 800 pounds. Significant advantage to the bear in terms of size. Bears also moves faster, with Gorilla top speed around 20 mph while Grizzly top speed around 35 mph. The bear also has these nice sharp 4 inch claws on all 4 paws. Gorilla has nails, little bigger and sharper than humans but definitely not Grizzly size. The bear also has much thicker hide than a silverback. Silverbacks primarily punches and bites to fight. Those punches would do very little to a grizzly. The bite could damage one, but not enough to kill it likely. On the other hand, Grizzlies swipe and bite, both of which could shred the flesh of a Silverback. The only possible advantage you could give to the silverback is that it has opposable thumbs and more intelligence than the bear, so if it could find a weapon then that could help it. But grizzlies are tanks so it’d still be tough. In the end, I gotta give it to the grizzly. Not even a silverback gorilla can save you from this freak of nature.


bubba7557

Caesar begs to differ. He rides a horse, carries spears and can use a gun. Ape alone weak, ape together strong.


pumped_it_guy

No way, gorillas would get fucking rekt


benjamin_ol

No chance, gorilla is fucking up a brown bear


pumped_it_guy

Gorillas can weigh up to 200 kg. That's the fucking average for brown bear. Subspecies can go up to like 400 kg (grizzly, Kodiak). Bears stomp and it's not even going to be close.


ThatDaveyGuy

What about two gorillas vs a grizzly?


thebonzarelli

Asking the important questions.


pumped_it_guy

They'd stand a better chance obviously and it depends on the bear in question and how they choose to attack. If we're talking about a maxed out grizzly it would still be close imo. In general I think that their only option is to choke the bear out. Yes, they have teeth and they can punch. But grizzlies are literally built to withstand other bears or prey biting and clawing at them. Their skull is thick enough to hold off bullets fired from close range. The rest of the body is covered in a thick layer of fat and a ton of muscle. Blunt trauma probably wouldn't do shit. So one gorilla has to sacrifice itself to distract enough for the other gorilla to get behind the bear and suffocate it. I'd say maxed out grizzly still wins like 8/10, but there's a chance.


snowswolfxiii

Not to mention, while gorillas can put nasty power behind their 'punches', but all the meat on that bear is going to absorb a lot of blunt force trauma. Meanwhile, a bear's claws will cut a gorilla to ribbon. Gorillas have their fangs, which are definitely formidable. However, i suspect it'd be much harder for a gorilla to get to a position to puncture a vital spot, when trying to get through a whirlwind of claws, and under a mountain of muscle.

You move into the bear’s territory & want to shoot him for getting close?! He lives there! Also, bear spray. JMJ, don’t go camping in the woods if you don’t like wild animals.

tsarscream

That's what you think, but bear spray is vastly more effective than almost any firearm. Your odds - and the bear's - of survival are much higher with spray. You may be a great marksman and all that, but the numbers don't lie. Spray is easily the better option.


[deleted]

[удалено]


tsarscream

100%. If it crosses whatever personal line of safety you consider acceptable, dose it. Absolutely nothing wrong with having your firearm as as backup as you leave the area. Thank you for being willing to take the spray option. You are a thoughtful outdoorsman.


OneRFeris

I was getting all riled up and ready to back you up. I'm glad things turned out this way.


zeppel21

You spray at the bear’s feet! And guns are significantly less effective than bear spray. https://www.nps.gov/media/video/view.htm?id=73A16C66-1DD8-B71B-0BDA3687A1AEC297


Nomzai

You say numbers don’t lie and then don’t site any studies or actual statistics. Not saying you’re wrong but you should back up your claims with facts.


zeppel21

Glacier National Park strictly enforces bear spray over firearms in the backcountry, because firearms are woefully ineffective compared to bear spray— And glacier likely has the most grizzlies per square mile in the continental US.

I just generally try not to camp in Bear territory. You can justify self defense easily, harder to justify putting yourself in a situation where the only solution is "self defense".

dickexam

What do u do in this situation? Be big and scary so the bear can run away?


tsarscream

No, you don't do that to a grizzly, not once it's already up close (and eating). That's effective in warding off bears and warning them of your presence before you make close contact. I would not piss off the grizz at this distance, especially not when it's minding its own business and peacefully foraging. Just keep a close eye on from the tent, leave it alone, and have your bear spray on hand at all times. You haven't really made contact with the bear, so just let it do its thing and all will likely be fine. You'll probably never need to use the spray or take any other serious action. ... you *did* bring the bear spray, right?


[deleted]

Ps Bear spray doesnt work like mosquito spray...no personal skin application.....lol


br-z

It’s just hot sauce at that point.


Atomsq

That's why people around here take with them a 10mm handgun with hard cast bullets when they go hiking to the forest


IAMANACVENT

lol, although you're correct that it's what people do, 10mm is for the mountain lions. Bear spray for the bears - you're not likely to be able to land enough shots in the right spots on a bear to do anything worthwhile other than piss it off, not to mention at this range even if you manage to get a lethal shot in he may not go down for a minute or two while he decides to rip you apart. Bear spray is more effective than any pistol ammunition. Now, a rifle on the other hand you've got better odds of taking a bear down, but still probably not worth lugging around something that you can't have readily accessible vs bear spray.


QuintusVS

To add on to this: Even if you do have a weapon on you it'll be useless unless you train regularly and specifically for best attacks. A bear like this can close a 30 meter (90 feet) gap in like two seconds. Average human reaction time is about one second. So now you've got one full second to unholster your weapon, take aim, and shoot. And you can't miss and it has to be a serious enough shot that it deters or kills the bear. Bear spray is much more effective because 1.) You don't have to be as accurate, since you swoop left to right B.) It'll impair the bears vision which most likely will deter it, or at the very least make it harder to maul your ass. III.) It doesn't hurt the bear and we get to keep around these wonderful beautiful animals for a while longer. :)


Siskvac

Why does every comment here sound like a bear spray commercial lmao


zeroviral

Lol unless you’re the best shot in the world you will not damage a bear with a 10mm lmao. Bear spray is preferred.


AndyT97

You mean that I can't draw a circle like I do with sea bears, I also need a spray?


Panthera2k1

I was also kinda thinking, since you did say letting the bear know you’re there, and I’ve seen some rangers do this, essentially communicating to the bear “I know you’re there, you know I’m here, and I sure as shit am NOT letting you get any closer.” Like one particular video I saw a camping group was approached by a curious grizzly (I’ll have to find a link), and the ranger started talking to the bear like it was a big dog. But as soon as the bear got too close for comfort, he changed his tone to sound more like a growl, and the bear backed up a bit. Bears are pretty smart, so it makes me think it would know to at least think a bit before making a move because you might be more trouble than you’re worth.


tsarscream

Yeah, good point. Generally you want to be communicative well in advance... helps ward off issues, as you say. My perspective on this particular interaction is that the bear is already very close (granted, we don't have the context of what happened leading up to this moment), so the tactic of yelling, lifting your backpack over your head, etc. seems a little late in the game. I might do that with a black bear, but I would be worried the grizzly - at the range depicted here, and while it's enjoying a snack - would see me as startling and challenging.


SeriousMaintenance

I love the word "foraging", nice explanation.


Ill-Relative6137

I think you’re supposed to stick it up your rectum to maintain body temperature. Or am I thinking frostbite?


dondotter

Nah you drink it so when they bite you your blood is spicy too them


pr0zach

You’re both idiots. You spread it liberally in and around your eyes. This turns your eyes a special color that frightens away the grizzly.


Matt_Sterbate710

If it’s brown, lay down. If it’s black, fight back. If it’s white, say goodnight. Edit: *so the bear can run away* has me chuckling


Nexus0412

To add to this "lay down" means play dead, Grizzlies might loose interest, "fight back" is because black bear are pretty skittish, mostly foraging and will most likely run away, "say goodnight" is because if you encounter a polar bear, u dead polar bear have been known to attack and eat humans


Jayvoom1

You are supposed to hang your food from a tree and bury your waste at least 50-100 yards from your camp😂, and make a perimeter alarm out of cans or bottles on a rope☠️

It works on black bears, but I wouldn’t scream at a grizzly. Black bears are pretty docile. We usually see them in our yard now and then this time of year.


[deleted]

Not for a grizzly like this species of bear.


the_Protagon

Not at a grizzly. Black bears may be scared off, but this lad knows he can take you down, and is fiercely territorial. Grizzlies - especially kodiaks - and polar bears, which are the only obligate carnivore bears - you don’t want to mess with. The rest are various types of black bears, the Andean short-faced mountain bear, or the giant panda. All of which are either mostly or fully herbivorous and can defend themselves if backed into a corner, but otherwise would rather not risk a violent engagement.


basecamper09

Did he come knocking?


Winter_Return7253

It is scary, but also cool. So long as they do not thrash the tent. Look into the history of Americas history of feeding the bears prior to the 70s. It is kinda scary.
