Bears have a difficult reputation: they are considered scary and dangerous, but predators are actually quite fearful of humans and run away as soon as they hear or smell someone.

Bears in Canada: a persecuted photographer knows how to defend himself
- A video from Canada shows that a bear in the wild can also chase the bear. The photographer is followed for minutes through the forest by a bear.
- The hiker eventually saves himself from an attack with bear spray and makes sure the animal gets away.
- Bear Spray is a special bear repellent that works the same way as pepper spray and has a range of up to eight meters.
- As not all hikers have this spray with them, it is good to know how to react correctly if you encounter a bear in the wild: it is recommended not to run away, otherwise the bear will be even more motivated to chase you.
- It is better to stop, shout loudly, wave your arms and scare the bear away. Throwing stones or sticks is not a good idea – it might offend the bear.
