Unbear!

Black Bears are such chill animals. I mean, you shouldn’t generalize of course. Not all bears are chill, some will tear you limb from limb! Bears are large animals, but some bears like black bears are smaller than your average grizzly or polar bear. This of course is a general rule, a small black bear will still look huge compared to you! Also, some black bears are massive! Black bears also aren’t always black; they come in many colors. Including white, reddish brown, light brown, and grey black bears (I know, crazy, right?) all of which can be found in North America.

I am Unbear. I am a chill guy and I think I am pretty tall but I don’t like to generalize.

Black Bears are Amazing!

Sure they are, but again, you shouldn’t generalize. Generalizations are easy to make, simple as that! You can’t assume anything about bears, they have complex minds and varying body types. For example, common advice is that if you encounter a black bear, you stand your ground and not run. You face them and make a lot of noise and make yourself seem large. This normally prevents an attack. Until it doesn’t. You don’t know what they are thinking. Maybe they’re hungry. Either way, you definitely don’t want to provoke a bear.

But hey! Black bears don’t go out of their way to kill humans! They’d rather eat, sleep, and stay away from conflict - like many of us!
