Brown bear, rattlesnake.

Black bears are usually harmless. It's the Brown bears you need to worry about.

vacougfan

7/25/15 6:09pm

yep.

Kerbouchard

Kind of a silly designation. Bears in general are typically harmless.

Dwight Schr-UTE

Isn't that because of population overlap between humans and the two species?

Shhh. Just let the yewt feel smug for a few minutes. And yes, yes it is.

Of course he did, yewt.

No, people with a lot of experince with brown bears will tell you they are...

In Jackson Hole. Really that is cool.

Yeah - it was about 30-40 feet away. Our guide was freaking out a little since

I bet even you could smell the fear. 😀

Male elephant. They are quick, and they accelerate faster than a Nissan pick up
