Have you seen Leonardo DiCaprio in the The Revenant? That’s based on a true story. Just see how well hugging a bear worked out for that guy. Even if it is “play fighting” with you just one hard swipe with its claws would seriously maim or kill most people.

I live in a area where they are bears. If I didn’t have a choice (and I was unarmed) and it chased me I would try to kick it as hard as I could on the face to scare off. Long shot but not impossible.

Only if was freshly dead I may be crazy but I ain't dumb When your friend ask you for help in the mens room because their too drunk

Maybe if it was an orphaned cub. But I value life way too much to approach a grizzly bear or a bear in general. It was scary enough seeing a sow on the trail with her cubs and we got the fuck out of dodge the moment we saw her

Hell No! Do you know what a bear is? Let's go a step further, do you know what a grizzly bear is? They say the lion is the king of the jungle, but those jungles have no grizzlies. Also, for a dare? Like there's no million dollars involved? Perhaps if I was suicidal, but currently that's not the case so the answer is no thank you, I'm good.

Only if I had a guarantees win for the Darwin Awards this year. Although I like my chances, animals seem to be drawn to me. Have had deer, coyotes, foxes and some others lurk in my vicinity and chill with me.

You better believe the day I bring down a grizzlyI will hug it before I skin it.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Find one of these (home raised pet kind of Grizzly) feed it, hug it, smell all that natrual stank, aaaaand probably walk out without a scratch. I will let my inner BEAR 🐻 guide me 😂

1. If the bear is trained to interact gently with humans and other animals.  2. If the bear is asleep due to sedation.

A dare is a dare, but anyone who dares you to do that, wants you to die! Avoid them like the plague, and find a new friend!

hug the bear and then invite it to a tap dancing contest.  in all honesty, I'm not Slav and I don't find the idea of getting mauled by a bear while hugging it to be very appealing so no thanks.

SwellStroke · Answer

No chance in hell. Sorry I am having too much fun not being in separate pieces. It would make things so much more difficult if I wasn't.

beast25179 · Answer

maybe if it was hibernating or how about just in my nightmare I don't know this is just theory right I didn't just sign up to actually do it

Apinya97 · Answer

Probably not a good idea. Wild animals can be very aggressive and unpredictable. I totally respect them, but I wouldn’t go around hugging one.

mstbooblover · Answer

No, because I'm not completely stupid ;0) But who knows if I was led to know that bear very well for some reason?

OddBeMe · Answer

Is it domesticated? Or are we on our own in Yellowstone with no Kevin Costner?

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

How much time do I have to introduce myself to the bear and build a genuine connection?

Apulu_Imback · Answer

If it was tamed then yes. Bears are cute! But I like my depressing life over that.

lightbulb27 · Answer

yes if it was an infant and the mother was nowhere around. The cost would be very high.

NamerOfStars · Answer

I would be hesitant to hug a wild grizzly FROG, much less a bear.

AngelLily · Answer

I wouldn’t because I don’t want my Face Ripped off.

Mtbgirl · Answer
