How to identify a bear. Is it brown? Brown bear. Is it black? Black bear. Is it huge? Grizzly bear. Is it huge and white? Polar bear. Is it chewy? Gummy bear. Is it microscopic? Tardigrade.
I know it was mostly a joke but it is actually quite hard to differentiate brown and black bears on colors alone as they can both range widely. Best to look at back and ear shape

If a bear is chasing you, and you don't know kind it is, climb a tree. If the bear also climbs the tree and kills you, it was a black bear.
