National Parks/Bear Safety
Black bears or Grizzlies?
A ranger once told me how to tell the difference between a black bear and a grizzly. He said if you climb a tree to get away from the bear, if it climbs the tree to get you its a black bear. It it knocks the tree down, its a grizzly. :)
If it's black, attack. If it's brown, stay down. If it's white, goodnight.
