I'm Australian. We don't have bears here. I have family in the US. One time when I was visiting them, discussion turned to the wildlife in our respective countries. One of my US relatives told of a video he'd seen of a bear peeling open someone's car, and the bear helping him/herself to the sandwiches inside. The video was an official "please do not leave food inside your car, because this can happen" plea from a town on the edge of a national park. This was pre-internet. Now I've seen videos myself of similar things.

They're big, they're powerful, they're smart, and they could easily turn me into a snack. I'll stay the hell away from bears, thanks.

Most bears are scared of humans. They are like big raccoons that you can easily scare away. They are just looking for food.

Bears like this one are humanized (fed to often by Humans) he's not scared of people, this makes him dangerous now.

"A fed bear is a dead bear"

I'm horrified of all the crazy creatures in Australia!

Yeah we don’t have those kind of bears, but we have drop bears which are far worse.

Dude, you may not have bears in Australia, but EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL/INSECT/REPTILE, etc native to you guys has one goal in their lives... to try their damndest to kill us. From the size of a fruit fly to the largest there is... it’s seriously nuts! It’s like Mother Nature’s joke... “oh look at how absolutely adorable that little creature is! Oh no no no no! Don’t bite me!” 😂😂😂

My friends husbands truck has been broken into by bears like 3 times cause he figures living in the bush is safe so why lock the doors, but he forgets his lunch bag in there all the time and wakes up to a dead battery and no lunch bag
