Arnsten misinterpreted that incident and drew the wrong evolutionary lesson. Black bears (the species in Vermont) aren't particularly aggressive versus other large animals such as humans, and will usually wander off even if they do notice you. The usual advice is not to freeze but to make noise and slowly back away. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/livingwith_wildlife/bears/encoun... I'm disappointed that an error like that made it through the fact checking process. It makes me doubt the rest of the article. |
