Continuing along those lines with more "bear facts," ...

If you are being pursued by a bear, how do you know if it's a black bear or a
grizzly?

Ans.: If you climb a tree to escape and the bear CLIMBS up after you, it's a
black bear. 

If the bear pushes the tree over to get to you... , it's a grizzly.  <grin>

Enjoy your hike,
