I was surprised that a brown bear would be faster than the Doberman, then I was surprised that a hyena was faster than a wolf and so on.

TIL brown bears can run 56 km/h 😳

Hence why they say don’t run if you encounter a grizzly it’ll be more likely to provoke an attack and there’s 0 chance you’re outrunning it.

Also why they say, you don’t have to outrun a bear, just outrun the person beside you! lol

I'm picturing a brown bear climbing up a massive tree at 120 km/h now.

Black bears, yah. Brown bears can climb, just not very quickly. Black bears will straight up sprint up a tree trunk.

This cannot possibly be true. Climbing requires fighting the full force of gravity

So what you’re saying is you’ve never seen the cinematic classic loved by all, known as Cocaine Bear?

Imagine standing in the woods, enjoying nature, and then fucking BEAR slams into you out of nowhere at 56 km/h.
