What if it's a bear?
If you go to wild places, this question will definitely come up. There is no point in refusing to travel because of bears. But you need to know safety precautions: 1⃣ In most cases, the animal itself will do everything to avoid a meeting.
Females with cubs or males during the rut can be aggressive. 2⃣ The bear will bypass a large company.
Don't get separated from the group. 3⃣ Did you see the bear cubs?
The first reaction is not to be moved and grab the phones, but to leave. 4⃣ Having noticed traces of the presence of the animal or the animal itself from afar, start making loud noise.
Loud and sharp sounds are needed: for example, hitting a metal plate with a spoon. 5⃣ Did you come across a bear face to face, at close range?
Don't turn your back and don't run. Back away slowly, looking at the animal, while talking loudly. You can place a backpack on the ground between you. 6⃣ Always obey the guide unquestioningly and follow his commands.
