      They don’t look at humans as prey, because we are bipedal. Grizzly bears and American Black bears would usually only attack you if they feel threatened, or spooked/surprised. How ever there are obviously outliers as all bears aren’t the same. But with polar bears, none of that applies, they will kill a human without thought, as a food source.

    When I was in Alaska walking past dark to my motel room that was up 8 steps and down about 5 doors. I heard something and as I opened my room door, I looked back and 5 grizzly bears were there trying to get in a big garbage container that had chains on it. I was within 20 feet when I walked by them , and it was so dark I didn’t notice them… I never walked after dark again and to this day I still get freaked out .
    Fast forward 25 years , I was working in a bar in California in the mountains and late at night I had no customers, so I was cleaning up the trash and walked out to a smaller garbage container and this time a black bear was there and I walked straight to him not knowing until he ran brushing against me running away.. note to self stay away from garbage late at night

    I've seen several bears in my 20 years of hiking and if you find yourself that close to a bear you need to slowly back away from it and make sure you're bear spray/gun is handy. Do not attempt to get a picture unless you want to be dinner. In all but one case the bears I saw immediately scampered away from me, they preferred smaller easier prey. If a Bear does not run away at the sight of a human that means its considering attacking and make no mistake you don't get that close to a bear without it sensing you. The last time I visted Yellowstone I saw so many tourists getting too close to big animals I'm surpised nature didn't hand out a bunch of Darwin awards.

      Imagine if humans weren't such a virus how many more wild animals there would be. Kinda cool to think about, but also sad. Understandable we had to reduce the chances of imminent death, to an extent, but that doesn't justify the behaviors in the thousand years since we have had the technology to keep the dangerous animals at bay. We wiped them out, instead of learning to live in symbiosis.

      not even close. No animal in North America is anywhere close to being the most dangerous animal on the planet.
      Grizzlies eat a lot more vegetation than meat. But rhinos and Cape Buffalo are plant-eaters too. And bulls. And the most dangerous large animal in Africa is the hippo.
      Almost all grizzly charges are adrenaline-fuelled defensive charges. Sometimes they turn aside before making contact. Sometimes they knock you down and eventually leave provided you don't move. Sometimes they tear the s/t out of you and leave you with life-changing injuries without killing you. Very rarely, they will stalk, kill and eat a person but the chance of that happening is very low.

    Bears like the coastal brown bears at Katmai aren't looking for trouble with humans or other bears. If you're threatening them, surprise them, or are too close to a mother's cubs, that's about the only time to be worried.

      Wild animals are unpredictable, when you run into a bear, whatever the location, you should exercise extreme caution. Generally speaking, these bears don't attack, but freak incidents occur and you don't want to be the victim of one.

    I remember once as a child camping and having to pee at 2am. I grabbed a flashlight, went to the outhouse, opened the door and came face to face with a huge brown bear. It had its nose in the hole and when I open the door it turned to face me. I was sleepy at the time and my brain wasn’t quite 100% LOL. I just closed the door, turned around and stumbled back to my cabin. Never heard the bear leave, wasn’t followed. To this day I have no idea how long the bear stayed in there or what it did after we came face to face. I do remember staying awake in my cabin and listening to every sound outside until I drifted off.
