You should wave your arms and slowly back away from it. If the bear huffs, snaps its jaws, or swats the ground, you are too close. You should never corner a bear or any other wild animal. Make sure the bear has an escape route. You should never climb a tree or other structure to get away from a bear.
Bears are good climbers.
You should never leave food or garbage outside even if it is in plastic bags. Bears have a keen sense of smell and can smell food even through a plastic bag. Bears are creatures of habit. If you see a bear on a path one day, you are likely to see it in that place again. When Mr. Saba took these pictures, he was over 100 feet away from the bears.
