Running from a bear seems logical when you see them lumbering along. Not so much.
cliffbarsancereal
What if the deck door was open and the dogs ran in....LOL
Mitheral
This (dogs bringing mad bears back to their owners) is one of the reasons wilderness parks around here require leashes.

Usain bolt can run close to 28mph, a grizzly bear can reach 35mph
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
So you're saying if I and Usain Bolt are being chased by a grizzly, I'm fucked.

Only if you dont knee cap him so bear gets him first.. but yeh otherwise your fucked..

@OP. Love your username.
UnstableEnder
This one of those moments where you look at rural life and say “oh yeah...that’s why they want their guns.”
Yeh we have coyotes running around up here - the occasional rabid racoon - and lots of deer that just love to run across the roads.

You can't outrun or out-climb a bear
https://youtu.be/3vIwNyqIceE
loma45
Climbing is a decent bet though, they generally need all 4 limbs to hang onto a tree. On the ground they have 2 free to fuck you up
Still wouldn't want to be up there with them. https://youtu.be/3vIwNyqIceE
Oh I wouldn't either - just that I like my odds more in a tree, than in a deathmatch on foot.
wheelerws2718
Dogs can be a problem when camping- they provoke and the bear and then come running back to the camp
Hurlerontheditch10
Must not be terriers as theyd still be chasing it and annoying the shit out of it ... oh wait they came back with the bear, they terriers!
KappnCanuck
Bear was like how come no one ever wants to play with me?
skinser03
that skid to stop though. Sweet!!
antivaxtumblrvegan
You need a bigger fence. And a wall. A wall made of granite. 20ft tall. Yeah, and you need a moat.
ladyfromthemountains
*gets answer and jumps back into the moat*
partisan98
The can also climb trees and jump. There was a post a few days back of one jumping too a second story balcony by climbing a tree.
claes1
And the bears will pay for that wall!!

The first dog really waited for the other. ?
foampants
For a black bear, stand your ground, don't run. Hold open your coat to appear as big as possible. Try not to piss yourself.

Yes. Bears are less interested in eating people if the filling has leaked out.

So bears (especially black bears) charge at things to scare them away - they call it bluff charging. It works really well...
tomatoboy
Black bears are fairly cautious if not starving, habituated, or with cubs.
Sealab2021
Possibly. Bears are just wildly unpredictable.

Don't worry. Just remember, you don't need to be faster than the bear - only faster than the slowest person you're with.

And they climb.

Just as fast as they run too.
Username checks out... also thanks for reminding me to be afraid of bears.
AUii93
Me too, but I'm glad your dogs didn't get eaten. Damn that bear was fast.
Ryebread91
Faster than a horse.
Bears are shockingly fast, far faster than people think. I’ve seen a bear moving at full tilt in person (away from me) and it’s basically...
...like seeing a wolf/dog the size of a cow running at wolf/dog speed. The size deceives people.
GlenL
Over short distances bears are as fast as horses, it's terrifying.
A1V1
Always run downhill, not up
WatcherNotCreeper
Slid like 3meters trying to stop
Exyr
I think bears can run 35mph
TheGreatBlueHeron
25-30mph

SugaryBonemeal
It's even worse if they get an ATV. Usually when a black bear has an ATV not only is it faster but it probably owns a .44
BeerBatteredandBold
On land....
BatmanAndCradleRobin
Yes they are much faster underground or in the air
WarBearGrrrrrrr
They run at around 40 Km and most climb trees faster than I can poop
Just saying I poop fast when a bear chases me
TrueNorthernLights
People mistakenly think they can outrun bears.
shadowwriter
They can climb trees just as fast
Oh God no, not my dog or my house or my part of the world where they have BEARS! Don't have a source, though, sorry.
Hedgehogsmakeweirdsounds
Most important: not your pants!
CatBeagler
1)That's a black bear. You don't run from them. You fucking roar and spread your arms out and chase them off while they're still startled...
2) unless there are cubs nearby, if so get to shelter or box them until they tap outhttps://www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-us-canada-36722836
graaghles
That's great in theory, but damned if I'm going to be brave enough or remember that when one is coming at me full speed.
My personal plan, because it seems to be what would come most naturally, is to scream "FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE."
AlphaIndustrial
I had this happen while deer hunting. We always have bear tags. I scared one. Didn't see it. It ran at me. It scared me back. 1/2
I hip fired 10 rounds out of my bolt gun. I hit it once. Dropped it 25 feet away. I was 17 years old with not enough time in the bush. 2/2
10 rounds out of a bolt action?
PurplePeopleEater1
Just reread your comment, brain finally registered the coming at me full speed :/
That's what I was taught when I went to camp as a teen. A black bear came across our camping spot and we stood shoulder to shoulder and made
A shit ton of noise and bear went away. Another time while we were hiking we happened across a mama and her cubs, we took a different trail
whistlebuzz
Bears can out run you, out climb you and out swim you.
MadMupp
Can they out shit my pants?
thedarktowerguy
If you're not alone, you just have to be faster than one of your buddies.
MarxAvenger
Oh yeah, but can they out shit-my-pants me?
Actually black bears, in the absence of cubs, can.
GrabherbythePuss
Alright guys who shit my pants
marzel1979
That's why you have to get them on the bicycle in triathlon!
saalamander
Run it harder, climb it better, swim it faster, bear it stronger.
Maxevans27
I'm glade the dogs retreated. I use to have some woofers that were dumb enough to think they could win.
ImShocked
Most dogs have no reference or idea of their own size causing them to go toe to toe with much larger opponents.
zenoshogun
Usually what happens with off leash dogs if they find and antagonise a bear then run back to their owner with angry bear in tow...
That’s consistent with several human-bear conflicts I’ve read about. Off leash dogs in bear country are a bad idea, especially when hiking.
BklynPunisher
I’m glade, you’re glad.
carlsagansghost
My dumb chihuahua would have tried to fight it. I love him to death, but he has no sense.
runefjord2
I dogsit a dumb russel terrier, he tries to start fights with dogs who have heads bigger than he is
Fuckme721
Sounds like a terrier all right, lol.
RiversongsMommy
Haha my beagle mix (RIP) barked at a black bear from the car window while driving the Appalachian mtns and was about to jump out the window.
Thankfully we grabbed his dumb but and drove away.
"ey you, yeah you fuck you for being a bear!!!"
Damn were you there?! That's exactly what he said lol. Stupid dogs are the best.
asm80dfa8sdfj
A little blackie like this would be scared off by the dogs though honestly.
Yes and no. Had the dogs stood ground, there being two of them, it may have retreated. However, if it’s hungry enough, those aren’t very...
...big dogs, and black bears are cautious but still opportunists. And exactly what happens often with dogs happened, the dogs returned...
ChangeThroughApathy
Bears, like people, have different personalities...
...with bear in tow, which is the real issue with this scenario.
But... didn't we just watch the exact opposite of that?
Larger dogs are used to hunt and chase bears all the time. It's the small yappers like in the video that will get eaten
Stefnos
animals dont relly want to fight unless there is no other choice hungry or in danger and such
Not really. They didn't stand their ground, they ran away. The thing with black bears is that you have to seem like you mean it.
They did come at him like gangbusters though. But yeah, apparently turned tail just as quickly.
ArcaneRose
