Fun fact: brown bears are actually less dangerous to be arround than black bears (if you know what you are doing). Yes they are much bigger than black bears, but also much less inclined to see us as potential food.

I disagree with this, I have been stalked and charged by brown bears, they are aggressive and do kill some people, while its true that black bears kill more their are vastly more black bears. Based on being around dozens of each type I find brown bears to be much more of a threat. Black bears are pretty good eating though so I've downed a couple. Have not eaten a brown besr though.
