So you think you can outrun a grizzly bear?

Female adult grizzly bear (known as bear 610) sprints across the Willow Flats of Grand Teton National Park to reunite with her cubs. How fast does she run?

I looked it up, they can run 50 yards in 3 seconds or 40 mph, faster than a racehorse for a short distance. Nope, can't say I can run faster than that.

He’d never catch me. The trail would be too slippery!

A) With enough of a head start, I can.

B) With that girl posing near the bear, I don’t have to.

I live in Montana, among these bears. I know I can't run faster than the bears.

That's why I carry bear spray ... S&W 629.

Wow...from that short clip the bear looks like he's only get it in 3rd gear...

Maybe Bears would be a good curfew enforcer in places where yoots want to riot and cause mayhem...

She can out run me, but can she stop a .50 SW?

“.. can’t say I can run faster than that..”

Me either. If I lived in an area with bears, I’d only walk around with a really, big fat person with a bad knee. Then I could walk away. :)

Why do people take cell phone videos without turning the phone sideways?

Yeah I read the spray is safer than a gun because a bear can still charge after it’s been shot while if it gets pepper spray in the face it freaks out and runs away.

I don’t think anyone has suggested they can out run a grizzly bear. Have they?

I do have some observations on black bears since I live among them and see their behavior regularly.

I MAY be able to outrun one of the 500lb+ ones that lumber around. I mean only for a very short distance...like 30-40 feet because these fat bastards never run more than that and when they do, it’s only at a fast waddle, 10mph tops.

The young svelte ones are a whole different ball game. I’ve seen them cross my yard at full sprint and it’s scary. Not sure it was as fast at the one in that video, but it’s similar.

...because our rotted out shell of a culture is more inclined to find fault with the person asking that question than the person filming a vertical video.
