i think polar bear should be #1 just because of the fact that if you do come in contact with one and youre unarmed and have no way of truly defending yourself you die you cant scare it you cant play dead you cant fight back and you will not escape

Polar bears are so over hyped like yes maybe they eat humans and see us as prey items but compared to most of there preferred prey items we hardly a snack the seals and other animals have higher fat content which is better for animals in general but especially on sub 0 climates to stay warm and have energy and if a bear had a choice between us or a seal it would go for the seal way more worth the effort so most if not all the times a polar bear attacks a human it is purely because there is no other option whether it because it starving and no other more nutrient rich food source is around and or we get to close and force it to feel the need to fight other than that the polar bear doesn’t want to waist the energy to kill us because yes we are probably easier to kill than a seal or another bear or a caribou but we are also less nutrient dense than said animals so it’s low risk for very low reward makes more sense to use that energy to get meal that will feed the bear and the cubs for days than for a few hours if that

I agree in the sense that it inspires respect, but we must bear in mind that except for the polar bear, the majority of bear attacks (which in themselves are very rare) are not lethal, the vast majority of the time they are due to mothers protective with their cubs or sudden encounters, Predatory attacks are more common in the polar bear and, to a lesser extent, in the American black bear.

Hokkaido, Japan resident here. Brown bears are incredibly common here, even in the largest city of Sapporo it isn't strange to see bear sightings in the city, especially in July and August. While they mostly live in the mountains that surround the northwest part of the city it is common to see them in the suburbs of those areas. During the pandemic the lack of activity caused the bears to to come further into the city; one bear was spotted in a shopping district close to Mt. Maruyama, which is typically far from their natural habitats.

[@JS-L90]

We saw similar bear behaviors from the American black bears. They seem to have come further into cities since the pandemic. We live in East Tennessee, not far from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which has many black bears. Since the pandemic, a bear entered a restaurant in downtown Gatlinburg (the city closest to the mountains). There was also a bear on the University of Tennessee campus in Knoxville.

[@tarotafterdark1077]

Just look at the story of "grizzly man". Either of those bears will show no mercy… They don't kill you then eat you… They kill you BY eating you alive. I don't wish that fate on anyone.

I've been around both Grizzlies and Polar Bears working up on the North Slope of Alaska. Grizzlies are unpredictable, and may attack you, but Polar bears are entirely predictable and will eat you alive or dead. They've never experienced having vegetation to feed on, and with the melting Arctic sea ice making it much harder for them to hunt seals, they are only going to get more desperate and aggressive towards humans. Any way you look at it, both of them will kill you easily and you have no defense other than high powered rifles or a hand-cannon larger than a .44 Magnum. I wouldn't even trust a 12ga pump shotgun because of how much punishment they can take.

I grew up in the far north of Canada. Polar bears are #1 trust me. Theres no escaping them if they see you unless you have a large caliber rifle handy. They are fast and dont run away like other bears do. Making noise only alerts them to your location where as making noise will cause all over bears to avoid you. I heard of a man in our village died years ago after being spotted ice fishing from 2 miles away that Polar came running and killed him before he made it back to his snowmobile which was only a 100 yards away.

I follow rewilding stories with great interest and it is educational to see the amount of hard work that goes into successful reintroductions. It's also rather joyful when escapees - such as beavers in Britain - successfully reintroduce themselves. Long may they flouish - and please, can we reintroduce lynx to Scotland?

I have had more than one close encounter with a polar bear, and they weren' at all threatening! Not that I lingered to make a closer acquaintance!

And of course, with an ever expanding human population, these tragic encounters are increasinly common.

I've always found it interesting that bear species in India/South east Asia are always the most fluffy, long haired bears when from what I understand it's way hotter and more temperate than what North American bears live in and their fur seems way shorter overall.

[@JamesS805]

When it comes to bear attacks, i’ve learned this rhyme. If it’s brown, lie down. If it’s black, fight back. If it’s white, say goodnight.

[@flmotion7017]

isnt there the goby bear as well or does that fall under one of these?

[@TsukiCove]

it's a subspecies of brown bear just like the kodiak and the grizzly

[@sugarpig]

"You should not come in contact with the grizzly bear" 😢 does.. Does... Does that mean I can't cuddle that chubby, fluffy, 1,500 death machine 😭

[@walterhayley7252]

You also forgot the Chicago Bear... of course, they're no threat to anything nor anyone.

Is Brown bear & Kodiak bear one and same? Or different?

[@ShinySalazzle]

They’re both the same.

[@studebaker4217]

Good film, but an editor for the narration is recommended to stop so much repetition and over-use, like "head over", and future tense when present tense would be far more concise and "urgent".

One thing you got wrong is saying black bear attacks are usually in defense I have a book that says most black bear attacks are predatory

[@danieltaylor3396]

Yeah, there are rouge black bears that hunt and eat humans although this is rare.

[@TheSportsPROgram]

While living in the mountains in the West coast of the U S, I used to run into black bears very often while walking my dogs, and they will usually just carry about their business if they are foraging on a tree or just run the other way to avoid you. As long as they don't feel cornered, they go their own way. I would not want to run into a Grizzly or Kodiak bear....that's a different story. Polar bear ...forget it .......

The Atlas Bear should have been given an honorable mention.

[@NisarKhan-jm1uh]

It's a subspecies of brown bear.

[@1TakoyakiStore]

@@NisarKhan-jm1uh Well it's complicated. There are 2 populations that we know of. Clade V is a subspecies of brown bear (related to the brown bears in mainland Europe). The other population (Clade VI) is more closely related to polar bears and Alaskan Brown Bears than any other living bear type.

Yes

Or maybe they tried to change his species from sloth to Himalayan brown bear. Which makes sense cuz there are some trained brown bear to work on movies but sloth bears aren't plus on my analysis rank wise sloth bear would be top dangerous bear consider kill rate since last century.

So the Grizzley Bear is considered to be a "brown bear"? I didn';'t notice where it was in the countdown,.

Koala bears are seriously underated. If they piss on you during a cuddle you can die from stinkiness.

what about the waterbear or tardigrade how dangerous to humans is it ? where would it rank on the list ?

[@residentrump3271]

They could be dangerous if someone accidentally drank water containing them and they kicked that person's @ss from the inside...

[@karenthompson1539]

Is the brown bear the same as the grizzly bear, or are they two different bears? I've always thought the grizzly was the most vicious.

[@francisnabrynski2997]

What about the grizzly? or is it considered part of the bwown bear family?

[@BullzInfinity-eg1uc]

Subspecies

[@Ragatokk]

How likely it is to come into contact with humans have nothing to do with how dangerous the bear is, if the reason they don't come across humans is because humans don't live in their territory.

[@Austin.Kilgore]

I know sloth bears while only being a somewhat similar size to American Black Bears, are very very aggressive and it’s resulted in numerous cases of them attacking humans. (Usually not even in a predatory manner either as their primary diet is termites I do believe). (At least I’m pretty sure it is indeed Sloth Bears I’m thinking of… I’m like 93% sure lol)

[@MRBJT51]

Whoever put that eyeliner on that bear in the thumbnail is straight trippin' 😅

[@wonwon3251]

Up near the Canadian rockies, black bears aren't much of an issue, they'll take off when they see you 9/10 times. Grizzlies are not to be messed with, but we pretty much worship them because they're majestic as hell.
