3. Bears – The Escape Artists
A bear’s brute strength is terrifying—but its mind is even scarier.
Trap evaders: Bears have been seen using their massive paws to flip over bear traps without setting them off.
Fakeouts: They leave behind false trails by doubling back or walking in circles to confuse trackers.
Human learners: In some areas, bears have figured out that the sound of a gunshot means a fresh kill—and they’ll steal a hunter’s prize before they can even get to it!
Imagine stalking a bear for hours, only to find it’s been following YOU the whole time.
