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
Grizzlies attack for two primary reasons
The bear either sees you as a threat, or sees you as food.
Playing dead can stop a bear from continuing an attack that was intended as a defense against a threat.
Playing dead will *not* stop a bear from continuing an attack against its intended prey.
