A person is scared of winter. A bear is scared of a person. Everydody will be happy before the spring comes. This is nice poetry, but it's not quite true. Bears can become more dangerous in spring, as they sometimes hibernate in winter. There are a few wild bears here in Sri Lanka. I would rather be near a person who is carrying a gun should I decide to go into the jungles. From what I know, one of the things you could do if a bear attacks you, is to play dead with your face down and your hands around your neck. I'm not too sure if it'll work every time, especially with a hungry bear. But you couldn't even trust a trained Russian bear, if you ask me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0GRI9uAaAo Here are some survival tips from the experts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twgg-fFsZ58&feature=related http://www.joyofcamping.com/camping-tips/safety/bear-attack/
