If you are traveling on foot in bear country, you are far, far, more at danger from bears than from lightning.

who would win, a grizzly or a silverback gorilla...?
To: marktwain
Obviously what we need are LightningBears.
To: marktwain
And the stats for Florida and Minnesota?
Ill bet that lightning win in those two states.
Even if you restrict it to just golfers struck by lightning or golfers verses alligators.
Stats are fun!

I suppose being in bear territory in a thunderstorm near a SUV, while the wife is menstruating is about as dangerous as it can get?

The big difference seems to be grizzly bears.
Black bears kill about the same number of people as grizzlys, but there are many times as many black bears as grizzly bears.
In the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) there are about 690 grizzly bears. In 2017, 35 were killed either in direct self-defense (19) or by game management after they were found to be a direct threat to human life and property.
In one year, one of twenty grizzlys had to be killed as direct threats to human life and property.
Black bears seem to learn to avoid humans, given plenty of hunting pressure.

Grizzly vs gorilla... sounds like a typical Quora question, LOL.
To: marktwain
Would rather take the lightning hit it’s over in a flash and not the pain of having skin and guts ripped open.

“Bears vs. Lightning: Which is more Deadly?”
Getting hit by lightning while being attacked by a bear is the most deadly.

The average male gorilla weighs about 450 lbs, the average male grizzly weighs 800 lbs. Do the math.
