Comment by Human on A Talented Player - Chapter 9

@Human it's a known fact that if you can grab a bear by the underbelly, it can't hurt you until it can get you off. It's arms can barely scratch its stomach with its claws. This is why one of the emergency measures is knife to the gut and keep stabbing, while hoping your stamina can hold out before he thrashes you off. x.O; theory and practice are two different things. just because one person did it doesn't mean 100 other people didn't die attempting. It's still better to try and seem non threatening, back away, and leave the most dangerous breed of animal the "f" alone -_-

@Ethan Elliot  I guess I will try to remember this if I ever encounter a bear but I still feel like I would not be tasty enough to even try eating even if it's a bear

@Human bears eat rotting carasses, even those that are over 2 weeks dead. Ever see a dead deer on the side of the road with an inflated stomach that looks like it would burst if you pricked it with a pin needle? that's 2 weeks dead -_- they are filled with built up gas and rot, but the throat and an** have been shut due to trauma, basically making them a flesh bomb if you stuck a detonator in them :p (corpse explosion spells were originally based off this) That is nothing but breakfast to a bear... This is part of the reason why bears are the most dangerous species of animal on the planet, they just don't give a fu**. The people who hunt bear generally use shotgun slugs or big game rifles. There are parts of the US you can't even live peacefully without a high caliber rifle because bears think your picnic table is perfect for their morning sunbathing spot. It's harmless enough when it's a blackbear, but when it's a kodiac, it deciding to make its next stop your kitchen fridge is not unheard of -_- Sorry bear, but that beer is mine

@Ethan Elliot  okay luckily I don't live in the states or Russia or any other place. I live in dubai/uae soo I am pretty sure I won't find a dead deer or a bear. lucky me I guess I won't see a balloon like deer which could explode

@Human yeah, for you it'd be a camel 🤣

@Ethan Elliot  yea those guys are dangerous if not careful they could bite your head off apparently or maybe they just told me this soo I wouldn't remove the face mask camel owners usually put on their camels

@Human  maybe not take their head off but breaking bones is possible for them

@Human they have no problem biting at anything that puts their hand close to their mouth, but are more famous for spitting -_-; they got that long range threat on them. Best not to mess with the mask for everyone elses sanity. could you imagine a huge snot shot  landing on a car's front windshield? collateral damage

@Ethan Elliot  they spit too? I thought only lama's did that well they are similar sooo I should have expected that

@Ethan Elliot that "grab a bear by the underbelly" is a myth. Grabbing a bear at all is a bad idea. If the bear is acting defensively, playing dead *may* help. But if it is actively hunting you, fight fight fight. Playing dead in that case will 100% not work. If it is a black bear (North America), back away slowly, yell and that may help. If it charges, fight fight fight. Playing dead rarely works on black bears because they are much more aggressive than brown bears. (BTW, it is *also* a myth that bears won't eat rotting flesh or already dead animals, but those are NOT their preferred food--which is why playing dead can help unless the bear is actively hunting you)
