<strong>Bears</strong> raid campsites for food.<br />
But then the scared hikers stopped running<br />
and froze. The bear stopped, too. The bear did not<br />
want to hurt the hikers. He just wanted to scare<br />
them away from his food. Then the bear went back<br />
to finish his meal.<br />
When a black bear runs towards a person and<br />
stops short, it is called a bluff charge. That means<br />
the bear does not want a fight. It wants to be left<br />
alone. But people often do not know this. They are<br />
picturing bears as a bigger danger than they really<br />
are. The result is a dangerous situation for both<br />
people and bears.<br />
