Do you feel safer around sharks or bears?

[Dr. Gorgenflex]

Bears aren't really scary, I have been near numerous wild ones and I just back away slowly. But I am kind of scared of sharks.

 

[gigastrike]

Would you count sharks if I'm on land?

 

[CrysisMcGee]

So I have to choose between this

Spoiler: bear

Or this

Spoiler: shark

Im gonna have to go with the bear on this one.

Lol. I remember watching that commercial in high school, and it's still funny.

This is the coolest and dumbest thing I have ever seen.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

I'm talking Great White/Tiger/Bull sharks. And Grizzly or Kodiak Bears. Any Brown Bear really.

Now which do you feel safer around?

In Truth, Bears avoid people and are rather shy. They are attracted by human food, garbage, or hunter-killed game. So if you are careful with your food, You'll be allright. Usually bears ignore people in the wild.

Sharks are dangerous as well, but normally pose little threat to humans. Again, it's the circumstances that attract sharks to humans. They're just looking for food. Humans are too bony to be appropriate prey, and are confused with seals or such.

Personally, I'd feel safe around either normally. Though I love sharks. I'd probably feel better around sharks, because I'm more familiar with their behavior.

Now if Megalodon still existed, Nobody would dare swim in the ocean at all. Normal sharks teeth are about an inch long. Megalodon had 6.5 inch teeth. They estimate his length to be up to 67 feet.

why don't you add Emo Zombies while at it...

personally: teddybears

I'd feel safer around bears because I understand them better. There are only two kinds of bears in my area, and identifying which kind your dealing with is the key to your survival.

1. If it's a Grizzly, play dead. They won't eat anything they haven't killed themselves.

2. If it's a brown bear, act big and intimidating. They're more scavengers and are unlikely to fight.

Of course, you're pretty well SOL if you get them mixed up.

 

[Sneaky Paladin]

Bears because they're nice if you don't mess with them

Not sharks because I can't swim as fast as I can run.

 

[Fox242]

I've been on a few shark dives and I feel pretty safe around them. Bears on the other hand, I wouldn't feel very safe around.

 

[IWCAS]

I can run faster than I can swim. Bears. Although you probably could just drown the shark in the water....................hmmmm.........

 

[gim73]

hmmm... well, sharks are so perfect that they stopped evolving hundreds of millions of years ago. Bears are more likely to evolve into intellegent subspecies and eventually take over our place, so bears are to be feared more because they still evolve.

Also, if you stay out of the ocean a shark won't come after you, but a bear knows how to swim...

Pandas are not bears >.<

They totally are
(types "Are pandas bears" into google)

Yep they totally are, apperently some people think they are raccoons. Though personally they look more like a bear to me, you know, with them being fucking bear shaped and all

Hmm, I should be more up on my science. Apparently it's only a recent discovery that has finally gotten scientists to decide conclusively that pandas are bears.

My mistake.

Seriously WHAT THE FUCK

This isnt at you, but at the science community. No fucking wonder we haven't cured cancer, been to mars or stopped this global warming crap they are too busy be baffled by whether a fucking bear shaped creature is a bear or a raccoon. What hope do we mere mortals have if the collective greatest minds we have to offer are unsure about a god damned bear being a god damned bear! Jesus christ I can't believe we trusted these people with the large hydron collider what the fuck kind of drugs did these people supply us with to make us think that was a good idea.

"So what could this machine do?"
"It could destory the universe"
"Go for it, as an unrelated question what does this look like to you"
"Well, i'm thinking the bear looks more like a badger, raccoon... maybe a shark?"

I wouldn't trust these people to tie their own damned shoes yet we have them fucking around with the creation of the universe. Fuck it. Just fuck it, at least this makes sense of why their are so many problems now that I know our best and brightest came from a crack den.

Anyway, rant over. I apologise but I felt it was nessessary to get that off my chest.

Also: Pluto. That is all.

OT:

Sharks because they aren't as aggressive and we're generally not considered food for them. Bears will eat anything.

 

[Iwata]

I've encountered Blue sharks while diving in the Mediterranean. Didn't scare me in the least.

But I hate the way those asshole bears look at me when I go to the zoo.

 

[duckfi8]

Sharks, scared shitless of bears

 

[MR T3D]

i feel perfectly safe with either or both.

It's not that they were thought to be raccoons, but related to raccoons. Pandas appear to have a "thumb" on their paw that is absent in other bears, but it turns out its just some extra skin over a bone. Also their closest relative is the red panda.

That is much more raccoon like.

I certainly hope they stay bears though. I can't imagine saying "Panda Raccoon" instead of "Panda Bear." It doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely.

 

[ultrachicken]

I'd feel safer around bears because i'm scared of the ocean...

Fun Fact: coconuts kill more people in a year than sharks

 

[Mozared]

I'm not sure if this take on your question has been posted yet, but no, I'd definitely not feel safer around sharks of bears .

 

[twostripe]

Bears, they're like fuzzy tractors.

i like that you get a high five, also i thinks its easier to run from a bear than swim from a shark

 

[ddon]

I think I would be safer around bears because of my aqua phobia. I'm not afraid of a glass of water but I am afraid of lakes and oceans.

 

[WhoaItsBrett]

I'd have to go with the bears.
Due to the fact that I lack the ability to swim.
