Could a reverse bear trap kill someone?
Yes. If having your jaw permanently torn open does not kill you (which it would, your face would be completely destroyed and your neck likely broken), then you will certainly die from loss of blood.

Are pandas and grizzly bears related?
The grizzly is a race of the brown bear, and the brown and polar bears are very closely related. The two species diverged around 100,000 years ago.
Bears, in the taxonomic family of Ursidae, split off from other Carnivorans about 38 million years ago. Then the Ursinae subfamily originated around 4.2 million years ago. According to both fossil and DNA evidence, the polar bear split from the grouping of the brown bear, Ursus arctos, roughly 200,000 years ago. This is thought to have happened due to their isolation during a period of glaciation in the Pleistocene period.

What happens when a hibernating bear is awakened?
We just found out. We encountered a huge sand mound in a forest. We put a video camera on a stick with a red light and stuck it in the hole. The huge boar black bear grogglily lifted his head, looked at the light and snapped a bit. Basically, he was more interested in sleeping and we were not going to poke the fella to find out his limits...
The blood is no more poisonous than ours--so it is not poisonous. However, if you have been bit by a bear, their saliva may cause you some misery.
What is the number of hunters in the US?
There are approximately 1 million licensed deer hunters in Pennsylvania.
Actually according to the Pa. Game Commission Annual Report there are only 795,000 resident hunters and approx. 65,000 non residents sold.
This includes tens of thousands of phantom license holders; people who have licenses issued in their name but who actually never go hunting. They are bought by family and friends in order to get more deer.

Kodiak bears are extremely dangerous. They are the Largest of the bear family and even more dangerous than grizzly bears, They are approximately 5 feet tall when on all fours, and when standing upright can reach heights of 10 feet. Fortunately they are only found in a remote region known as Kodiak Archipelago in Alaska.

they are special because they are the only bears that can stand on their hind legs
only if they are coastal bears such as kamchatka bears, kodiak bears. coastal bears grow much larger than inland bears such as grizzlies. the only inland bear that grows as big as coastal bears is the ussuri brown bear but typically they are still smaller.
