The brown bear is the largest predator living in the Urals: its weight can exceed 600 kg. Forepaws are the powerful instrument of the attack equipped with claws. With one blow paws the brown bear easily kills the ridge to an elk, pulls out to it edges and breaks skull bones. The meeting outcome of a bear with the person, mostly, will depend on competent actions of the last.
It is necessary to keep a distance strictly
Statistically, the bear will attack the person, generally during the unexpected meeting. For this reason it is necessary to warn a predator about the emergence in advance – to rustle, shout, sing songs, to talk loudly. If the meeting with a predator took place, then it is necessary to keep a distance strictly: the bear has to have the personal space. Keeping a distance, it is necessary to know that each bear has also tracks. It is impossible to appear also on the way at this animal. It is impossible to block also a way of its retreat at all, otherwise nothing will remain to a predator except how to defend with attack on the person.
It is impossible to run away from a bearIf there was a meeting with a bear, then it is impossible to run away at all. It is not necessary and panic, it is necessary to keep calm. If the person begins to run away from a bear, then that will think that it is necessary to catch up with it, and will hurry to make it. Bears very well run, gathering speed to 70 km/h. It is impossible to get away from a predator and by swimming. There is a risk that the bear will rush for the person in water. It is not recommended to look long and fixedly to a bear in the face. It is necessary to begin to recede slowly, but not to be on the only track of retreat of the bear. If the movement of the person begins to provoke an animal to approach, then it is necessary to stand, having told a predator in body language the following: "I am not afraid of you and I can attack in reply!". If the predator also in this case does not leave, then it is possible to try to frighten off it, rattling kettles, shooting with a flare pistol in the air, etc. The fact is that some bears are timid, and similar gestures force them to recede. But not all!
It is necessary to distract a bear
If it is not possible to frighten a bear, and he rises closer and closer, trying to smell the person, then it is necessary to remove accurately from himself a marching backpack, having put it before itself. It is possible to take off outerwear and to put it before itself. In this case there is a chance that the predator will become interested in things of the person, but not him. If it does not help, and the bear prepares for attack (growls, digs a paw the earth, does short attacks forward), then it is necessary to grab a gun (if it is) and to shoot in the air. It is possible to use also the available petards, creating a bright noise show. Bears are afraid of similar vanity.
The meeting with a she-bear and her posterity is life-threatening!
It is very dangerous to be between bear cubs and their mother: attack of a she-bear will be inevitable. The fact is that the female is very aggressive at this time as she should preserve the brood. As attack in this case will be inevitable, it is necessary to beat off as it will turn out: to use make-shifts (if there are no small arms). It is necessary to remember that a weak point of bears is their nose and eyes. If there is a gun, then it is necessary to shoot at first in the air to frighten off a predator and if it does not help – to shoot on defeat!
Who is warned - that is armed!
That the meeting with a bear was not vitally dangerous, it is necessary to go to taiga forests, having a carbine, a fowling piece and the other officially registered small arms behind the back. It is necessary to remember that you should not shoot at once at an animal and to kill him. Whenever possible, it is necessary to make everything to suffer the minimum losses and expenses. About it it was already written above. If the threat for life really exists, then it is necessary to shoot at an animal.
