And it’s not the first time they’ve said friendship is the most important
When it comes to encountering a bear, visitors should be prepared for potential encounters with wildlife no matter where they go.
Matt explained: “While seeing a bear, bison, moose, or any animal in the wild is an exciting moment, it is important to remember that wildlife in parks are wild and can be dangerous.”
Most wild animals’ behavior is unpredictable and although rare, attacks on humans have occurred. “Being vigilant and knowing what to do in such encounters is the most important thing to remember,” concluded Matt.
That was the bear advice they gave us when I was stationed up in Alaska.
