When I lived in N. Maine years ago, my friends and I were on a camping trip and visited one of the "bear dumps", one of those garbage dumps that were a tourist attraction, no longer open to the public, of course. Too many stupid people. I witnessed people getting out of their cars with their kids, to get a photograph of those docile creatures up close. We'd tell them that's not a good idea, but black bears in that setting are so docile-seeming. Couldn't convince these people, if that bear decided to become irritated, he could be on them in a second, beating them like a rag doll.
I have a photo of one of those bears from that evening, with his paws comfortably on the roof of a Grand Cherokee, which is about 7 ft high. He must have been well over 500 pounds.
Thankfully, most of us survive youthful decisions.
