Tongass National Forest has a great sense of humor about "bear petting." 😜 Another place to visit on my bucket list. It's 16.7 million acres and is in Southeast near Juneau. I've been to Juneau, just not to the forest and I will NEVER pet a bear!

@hugo @MicheleV_AK Here's what to do, if you are actually attacked by a bear:

If it's brown, get down.
If it's black, fight back.
If it's white, good night.

@proedie @hugo I hope to never, ever run into any bear out in the wild. They wouldn't have a chance to kill me because I would drop dead of a heart attack.

@MicheleV_AK @hugo In which case at least a brown bear would leave you alone allowing for an open coffin. 👍

The black one would play with your body and tear it into pieces, while the white one would just eat you, I believe. 🐻🐻‍❄️
