Black Bears

   The study has found that black bears have only killed sixty-three (63) people over the United States through Canada in the past 109 years. Bears that kill are not always mothers who are trying to save their cubs. Most of the time bears attack you because there looking for a prey to eat. Ninety-two percent of those bears are male. However, when a mother bear feels threatened the will get aggressive. They make loud sounds and they they swat the ground with their paws and run at people. They try to make you think that they will eat you but they usually stop. It tests you out as a possible prey item. It follows you like a lion. Eighty-six percent of attacks occurred 1960-2009. Not as many bears are there today to come and attack you.
