How do Polar bears describe igloos? Hard and crunchy on the outside, soft
and chewy on the inside.

How do you tell the difference between a black bear and a Grizzly bear?
The black bear will climb a tree to get to you, while the Grizzly will push
the tree over.
Folk lore used to say to wear a small bell on your pack while hiking in
bear country, but I had heard that in the last few years bears had
actually been tracking humans by the sound of the bell in some localities.
