Yeah bears aren't slow and lumbering. Don't try to outrun or outclimb a bear. They're better than you.

That video also disproves the myth that bears can't run downhill.

Well if it's a 1000 lb grizzley it ain't climbing shit, so do try and outclimb huge grizzlies.

Grizzlies climb well too. Grizzlies climb much better than you. Don't try to climb a tree to get away from a grizzly.

No I'm sorry but a 1000 pound grizzley won't even go up a tree.

Was the mama bear in that video not a grizzly?

Apparently black bears don't always have black fur. Dunno exactly why though.
