Looking for Grizzly Bears isn't usually a good idea for most people

So, when these folks were actually looking for these two bears it was a mistake potentially. Because these two bears were likely fooling around or competing for food or whatever in this area. So, when they saw the first Grizzly fly by running from the other one this would have been a good time to walk not run away from this location before whatever was chasing the first bear showed up.

Then the 2nd bear chasing the first one growled at them. Not running away at this point might have saved their lives. However, staring down a bear is never a good idea because when you stare at animals often it means (between animals at least) that you want to eat them or fight them. However, you don't want to make victim noises like a dying rabbit either because this could incite them to violence against you. This is also true especially with Mountain Lions "Don't make noises like a dying rabbit squealing or they might kill or eat you."

So, the best thing to do if there are prowling grizzly bears in your area is to walk the other way (don't run) because if you run from a bear or mountain lion often they will chase you down and harm or kill you.

However, I did see one Grizzly bear with many people watching this bear sitting in a meadow eating flowers which reminded me of "Flower Children" of the 1960s.

However, then someone ruined it and got too close to the bear so a Forest Ranger arrested them before the Bear harmed them or killed them.

So, keeping your distance (even if the bear is happy and eating flowers in a meadow) is really important because they need enough space between them and you not to kill you needlessly.
