Which animal is more dangerous - a bear or a bison?
Bison are more dangerous than bears. A ranger told me about a person that surprised a bear by accident. He did not have any bear spray. The bear charged at him. The man threw a rock at the bear because he did not have bear spray. The bear came right up to the man so the man so the man could smell the bear's breath, then the bear walked away. The man never threw a rock at a bear again. Also today a bison ran past me, it was so close.
A ranger also told me a story about a man who walked up to a bison because the bison looked like a cow. The bison charged at the man and bucked him in the air. The man broke some bones. He had to go to hospital!
Bears
The difference between a grizzly bear and a black bear is grizzly bears have claws the size of people's fingers, and a lump of muscle on their back near their shoulders. The grizzly bear's footprint is larger than a black bear's footprint. Black bears do not have a lump of muscle on their backs. Black bear's claws are shorter than grizzly bear's claws. Black bears' footprints is smaller than the grizzly bear's!
