    You’re not completely wrong, but if safety is your concern then you should really be operating under the assumption that the animal will attack you. In that case you’ve chosen a 200 kg gorilla who can climb over a 40 kg wolf who can’t. Bears are actually the heavier of the three depending on race and gender, and some of them can climb while others cannot.

      Grizzlies can’t climb but if they want to get to you, they’ll just dig out the tree you’re on.

        For real, but Grizzlies are the second worst outcome you could end up with in the bear category.

            If you encounter a black bear, make yourself big and threatening. If attacked, fight back.

            If you encounter a brown bear, stay facing it but avoid eye contact and back away slowly. If attacked, play dead.

            If you encounter a polar bear, pray for a quick death.
