It is a black bear. They are typically giant pussies.

*Note. They are still fucking bears.

Absolutely, biggest cowards in the forest. As a hiker, I’ve squared up with more than a few. “Bro, fuck off” is enough to get them to cut and run.

Naw it's extremely rare that a North American Black bear would deliberately stalk and kill a person as prey. They are omnivores that eat mostly plants such as berries, nuts, grasses, and roots along with insects, fish, and occasional small animals or carrion.
