Brown Bears: The Real Danger?

Everyone thinks grizzlies or polar bears are the deadliest, but stats say brown bears (which include grizzlies) are actually linked to the most human fatalities worldwide. It’s not because they’re out hunting people—most attacks happen when someone surprises a bear, gets too close to cubs, or stumbles onto a carcass. The real risk? More people and more bears crossing paths, especially in places like Alaska, Romania, and Japan. Want to stay safe? Hike in groups, make noise, and keep your snacks locked up! #Science #brownbears #wildlife
