What Does the Brown Bear Say?

 I remember a Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme, “Brown bear, brown bear what do you?” And with the video sensation “What Does the Fox Say?” Wanted to pursue this blog post.. So what does the brown bear say? And in my quest for answers to the elusive question, I discovered that bears communicate among themselves via vision, touch, smell, sound. They utilize these senses when they are seeking a mate, releasing tension during a stressful encounter with human or otherwise; it is also how a mother bear finds her cubs when they wander off.

The various sounds can indicate satisfaction, irritability, fear, or pain. Just like us, every sound has its own tonality. When two strange bears meet in the woods, they quickly announce their disposition and intentions. Growling and roaring tremendously, they express threats to one another, as well as to humans.

If you encounter a brown bear, do not feed them, get between a brown bear and its cubs or food. Typically brown bears will avoid humans, but please note that brown bears canseriously injure and even kill humans.
