How to Escape from a Bear 1 Bears are incredibly fast (black bears and grizzlies can run as fast as a horse, about 50 km/h), so do not try to race a bear to a tree—you will lose. 2  This approach is usually only viable if you are right next to the tree, and you’re a good climber. If a grizzly or polar bear makes a non-predatory attack: Play dead. 2  If the bear (other than a black bear) is attacking you in self-defense, you can put it at ease (and possibly save yourself) by playing dead by lying completely flat on the ground. 3  Do so only after the bear makes contact with you or tries to do so.

That muscle, although heavy and ultimately what limits its ability to run long distances, is still going to provide explosive power, especially in regards to acceleration.

First wild polar-grizzly bear hybrid offspring discovered Scientists knew that these hybrid animals exist, but weren't sure whether they would be able to reproduce in the wild. Polar-grizzly hybrids – sometimes called “grolar bears” - were first discovered when the two species, housed near each other in a zoo, got close enough to mate. Germany's Osnabruck Zoo, which is home to most of the 17 confirmed hybrid bears, is currently studying the mix.
