one time my family was doing a short trail in some park up in canada and an adult grizzly walked out onto the trail like 15 feet behind us so we backed around the next corner slowly then ran away

that is my bear story

I had that happen (brown bear though) in the Grand Tetons, it's scary as hell.

you're like "oh what a cute little bear cub on the path ahead... gently caress gently caress gently caress BACK THE gently caress AWAY"

I found out that Germans at bizarrely obsessed with the American West and research every little thing about it and wind up with dangerously/hilariously incorrect info.

See this one German couple a co-worker took to Yellowstone who packed tazer in case of bears

like a third of the people I saw backpacking on that trail were German, it was sort of odd

lmao at the idea of tazing a bear though

more like in case of buffalo, we tried to get back in our car at Yellowstone and a herd of them walked through the parking lot for like half an hour, it was pretty cool but dam those things are big

Moose were the thing that surprised me, you can generally extrapolate buffalo from cattle, but you don't really appreciate how big those fuckers are until you see them in person (also they apparently can and will gently caress you up)
