Quote:
"While there are about 15 times as many black bears as grizzlies, grizzlies
kill about twice as many people, likely because they evolved in open plains
and rarely climb trees, Dr. Herrero said. Roughly half of grizzly attacks
involve mothers protecting cubs.
"The black bear findings, published Wednesday in the Journal of Wildlife
Management, suggest that people should behave differently around different
bears. * * * Never run from bears.
Note:
(a) American black bear

(Ursus Americanus; North America's smallest and most common species of bear;
omnivores)
Quote:
"Although they all live in North America, American black bears are not
closely related to brown bears and polar bears; genetic studies reveal that
they split from a common ancestor 5.05 mya. Both American and Asiatic black
bears are considered sister taxa, and are more closely related to each other
than other species of bear.
