Grizzly bears get massive up there in Denali National Park, with some individuals known to reach over 1,500 pounds. Denali is home to a healthy population of both black and brown bears due to the abundance of food within the protected area.

These bears will literally eat anything. An animal that can reach those weights needs a lot of calories and they will eat anything from grass and sedges to road kill to get them. They are also good hunters though, using their size and power to take down other big mammals,...

Self-proclaimed Geotechnical Engineer Skeptical of Detour Plan. In a recent blog post, a YouTube blogger going by the handle Casey Jones with a supposed engineering background expresses skepticism over the Wyoming Department of Transportation’s expedited efforts to reopen a road after a significant failure. The blogger, who say he is a geotechnical engineer with 38 years of experience, critiques WYDOT’s announcement that they plan to establish a detour within weeks following a road collapse.

Surviving a bear attack is 10% skill and 90% luck.

Of course you could always take my approach and just don't go anywhere that bears might be. But if you're more of an outdoorsy type and want to get out and explore nature, the chances of being attacked by a bear are low, but never zero.
