What about bears and other animals in the Wilderness?Black bears and mountain lions inhabit some Wilderness areas and strategies for peaceful coexistence are needed. Never approach, startle or feed any wild animal, expecially a bear or lion with young. Stay calm, back away, and speak softly if you encounter a bear. Step off the trail and allow the bear time to leave. In the presence of a lion, make yourself look larger by raising your arms or opening your jacket. Never turn your back and run. Pick up small children to keep them from running. Fight back if attacked by a bear or a lion, using a stick, stones or whatever you have. In the presence of a snake or another animal you suspect to be venemous, move as quickly as possbile in the opposite direction without turning your back to, or losing sight of, the animal. Avoid attack if at all possible, using a long stick, stones, or whatever you have.
