    I’m told that a black bear won’t bother to kill you before eating you. They don’t give a shit. Once they start eating, they can’t be scared off. They’ll go for your meatiest bits first. Legs, then abdomen.

    I didn’t need that picture, and now you have it too.

      I think you mean grizzly bear. Black bears are usually more timid, although I still wouldn’t try to mess with one.

        No, black bears. Specifically the more wild ones up north but the raccoon ones will also mess you up pretty good.

          Racoon ones have an instinct to go for the eyes and the face.

          Kinda the same way cats have an instinct to slap everything that moves.
