I just saw a massive fight between two grizzly bears. Why is it suggested that the best defence for humans is to ‘play dead’?
In: Earth Science
Because you’re not going to fight a grizzly bear and win. If you fight back, it’ll feel threatened and kill you. If you run away, it’ll see you as prey and kill you. If you play dead, it might kill you, but it’ll (hopefully) realize that you’re not invading its turf and also not want to eat already-dead meat.
