Why do some people say that they should play dead when they meet a bear?

First, because bears don't eat people, they mainly attack humans because they think human security is threatened. So if people meet a bear, if they don't take the initiative to attack, then the bear won't attack at all. That's why people say don't run when you meet a bear, but lie on the ground and play dead, so as to avoid the bear attacking yourself.

Second, bears are omnivores. Its food is basically not picky about food. It can eat both animals and plants. Sometimes it can kill a cow. Usually bears like to eat living creatures, so people must lie on the ground and play dead when they meet bears, which may be in danger of avoiding being eaten.

Third, in fact, if you really lie on the ground and play dead, you may not be able to avoid the risk, because bears are playful animals and sometimes touch you with your body as a toy. If you can't stand the bear's method, you will be furious and may let the bear threaten your life because of your behavior.

In fact, when we really meet a bear, we must be able to think like this, because the bear's sense of smell is very developed, but its vision is very low, so we should slowly retreat into the wind, because it is difficult for the bear to track the smell, and it is impossible to see it, and it is possible to really escape from the bear's clutches.

So if you encounter a bear, you must consider the actual situation. If you really can't run, you must lie on the ground and play dead, which may save your life, but if you have the conditions, you must not use this method, which may make you desperate.
