climbing a tree to escape a bear is safe

Question

true
false

Answer 1

False. Climbing a tree to escape a bear is not always safe. While it may be effective in some cases, bears are capable climbers and some species can even climb faster than humans. Additionally, some bears are skilled at knocking down trees or waiting at the base of a tree until the person comes down. It is generally recommended to use climbing as a last resort when facing a bear and to seek other means of safety such as backing away slowly, using bear spray, or playing dead if necessary.
