bear, Latestvibe
Even if you live in a city far from the furry paws of bears, you probably know this advice: If you’re attacked by a bear, play dead. In reality, it’s much more complicated than that. Playing dead only works with grizzly bears.
If you’re attacked by a black bear, you’d better fight for your life and get as far away as quickly as possible.
Or, better yet, avoid the confrontation entirely.That is, unless you’ve been in the bear’s sights for hours. It turns out that the black bears most likely to attack are not the mother bears protecting their cubs—those only act threatening to get you to go away.
It’s male black bears who think you might make a tasty treat. According to Dr. Herrero from the University of Calgary, you might not even see the bear coming. “It’s quiet,” says Herrero. “It stalks you just like a lion might stalk you.”
Once a bear has decided you’re its prey, it might quietly stalk you, sometimes even crawling in the brush, circle behind you, and once it’s close enough, charge at the speed of a horse to land the killing bite. When a black bear is trying to eat you, playing dead is probably not the way to go.

Adventures, bear, Latestvibe
Although they may look cute and fluffy, make no mistake, polar bears are vicious predators. With incredible camouflage, webbed toes for walking on ice, huge forepaws that work like paddles when swimming and non-retractable claws for digging into the snow, these huge carnivores make light work of their prey (which are normally ringed seals).
They are well-adapted to the cold Arctic conditions and are able to enter a hibernation-like state when food is scarce.
Earlier this year, a group of students on an expedition organised by the British Schools Exploring Society were attacked by a polar bear. Sadly, one young man was killed and four others had to be treated for their wounds. Although attacks are not common, they serve as a vivid reminder of the power of these predators.
Polar bears can be found throughout the Arctic, from Canada to Norway and some parts of the US. There are a number of tour operators that conduct trips into the Arctic regions. If you’d like to jump aboard a vessel filled with intrepid adventurers, why not join a National Geographic Expedition to the Arctic.
