In a chilling commentary, Emerson further states, “[A single swipe from a polar bear] can spell the end, eviscerating its prey with ease.” However, a broader perspective reveals that fatal bear encounters, regardless of species, remain relatively rare events.

In Yellowstone National Park, where there are different types of bears, there have been only eight people who died in bear incidents since it was created in the 1800s. This shows that, even though bears can be dangerous, fatal encounters with them are rare. Yellowstone is a place where people and bears share the land, and most of the time, they don’t hurt each other.
