Bears tend to scare us when we’re outdoors and they’re not behind steel bars. Particularly grizzly bears. They’re big, with sharp claws and powerful jaws, and seem to be in a bad mood whenever we spot them. We hear about people being mauled to death by bears, and even of black bears attacking campers in their sleeping bags.
Are bears really as terrifying as they appear? Or is our fear
driven by a lack of understanding of their behavior? Derek Stonorov
knows a little bit about bears and their behavior, after all the
wildlife biologist has spent the past 50 years observing coastal
brown bears in Alaska, in a bid to better understand their social
structures and behaviors. He details he findings in his forthcoming
book “Watch the Bear."
