Due to the increasing number of bear attacks lately, the parks dept. decided to start a program for all hikers to help them avoid bears.


The instructor started by advising the group that as a matter of last resort, in case a bear actually attacks, they should always carry pepper spray. 


In addition theyd should never get between a mother bear and her cubs.


As a primary precaution the hikers should wear some type of warning device, such as bells, so the bears could hear them approaching and they would never surprise a bear.


They were also advised that bears a very territorial and they should be able to identify what type of bear was in the area by a bears poop. 


A brown bear's poop would be well formed and contain lots of berries and other types of fruit.  A grizzly bear's poop smells like pepper and has a lot of bells in it.
