When the animals...

Let me give you some examples.

If let's say you're walking one day, and an elephant runs by you.

There is no need to think any further. Just run where that elephant is going.

There's no need to question what the elephant is doing there. No need to wonder what it's running from.

No need to wait and try and get a selfie with a massive tidal wave.

Just run.

Unless it's a griz

Same principle applies to things that can eat you.

Let me try and better articulate this.



If a grizzly bear is running, and you can see it, RUN.


Seems simple, I know.

But sometimes you have to spell it all out.

I'm with ya, just in a rimshot mood.

;)

ETA - I've been chased by a griz.

what if it just walking fast?

and walking funny?

not funny haha

I wouldn't trust it.

Best to leave the wild life be.

You're one of those people that goes on vacation and jumps into one of those little metal cages so that you can pet a great white?

Being bait doesn't appeal to me.

I live in an area with a large concentration of griz and I spend alot of time in the woods is all.

Running from them isn't usually healthy.

They are delicious?

Good advice.

I was gonna make an owl joke - but a skint bear looks eerily similar to a man.

Not my cuppa tea.

I can imagine standing there and saying hi to them isnt beneficial to ones health either.

I'll give some more extremely helpful advise that might seem obvious.

If you see a bunch of birds fall out of the sky, run away.

No need to check on the birds.

It sounds unintuitive but standing one's ground and remaining calm during a bear charge is usually the safest bet.

Took that in BC, momma bear couldn't have been far away. Was oblivious to the danger, ignorance is bliss

Beautiful country.

Yeah sometimes the Multiverse favours the innocent over the bold.

Then again...



Glad you made it - memorable experience for sure.

So much wilderness, nature in full force

Fear didn't cross my mind, came close to a cougar and big moose too. Best holiday ever

I do not have to be fastest one. Just faster than the guy standing there.

Aw, but where's the honour in that.

It's just for thread theme topic.

I'd love to see a bear in person, from a safe distance. I don't normally have too much issue with nature. But that doesn't go with my thread topic.

*bows*

Have you ever had to do it?

Once

Good advice.

They say that the reindeer has started migrating south for the first time ever and nobody knows why. They are moving to the opposite direction.

Birds which should be coming in spring, came in this autumn.

Something is going on.

How you doing Phi?

Good advice - overall.

Watch the animals.

You know something, don't you...

Yes yes. The event is close.

I'm doing well. How you doing Eye?

Saw a mama and her cute little cubs in NJ many years ago.

I was having a "drive me to the forest before I lose my freaking mind" day - so I was blissed out to be around nature, that it didn't seem to bother her.

Of course I didn't try to get any closer, but they really weren't that far away. Just walking and being cuter than I thought possible.

They remind me of Dogs.

Not a grizzly though...sweet little black bears.

Smokey the bear is way more intense in person.

I wrote a script once to monitor asteroids that get too close from the JPL data.

I know there is a great news guy watching it every day, so I tend to not check it much.
