    This reminds me of the old adage when it comes to bears, “If it’s brown, lie down. If it’s black, fight back. If it’s white, goodnight.”

    People often expect grizzlies to be the scariest, but they tend to be mostly territorial so playing dead is the best option. Black bears will see people as opportunistic prey if they’re hungry enough (most predators don’t want to get in a fight with their prey). Polar bears are always looking for food so I’m guessing that they’re hangry all the time.
