daniel g say: Bear can run 30 MPH, the fastest human 20, you do the math. they can climb better than you as well.
Sure, you chase a bear it soon tires, then you can catch up to it.
You get into a bad situation with a bear, you slowly back away, at some point the bear takes off the other way.
Not that close, you wave your arm and holler, they run from you.

Cal King say: Not even Usain Bolt, who holds the world record for the 100 meter sprint, can outrun a bear. Humans are built for endurance running. We can jog for long distances. Bears can move long distances as well, but by walking, not jogging. Dogs are also built for jogging, although they can also out sprint humans.
