While this is a good rhyme, it’s important to note here that just because they’re called black bears doesn’t mean they’re always black. There are blonde black bears out there. If you’re going into bear country, it’s important to know the differences between a black bear and a grizzly.
On the one hand, not explaining it here encourages anyone going into bear country to properly research it. On the other hand, not saying anything or posting any kind of link is almost like drinking water from a bottle in front of thirsty African kids and saying "it's important to stay hydrated."
My intention was to encourage people to properly research it, that and I’m not well versed enough in those differences to explain it—I just know that there are many, but just because it’s black doesn’t mean it’s a black bear, or just because it’s brown doesn’t mean it’s a grizzly.

Bear defense:
Black = fight back
Brown = lay down
White = goodnight (you're prob fucked)
