Canadians try a little tenderness with bears Two Canadian researchers have spent the past five
summers living in a cabin in remote wilderness in Russia surrounded
by about 400 huge brown bears. They claim that humans can live
safely in close contact with bears. The researchers go for walks
with the bears and sometimes babysit one mother bear’s cubs.
They suggest using a quiet and calm voice when meeting a bear.
Studies have shown that the most aggressive bears are heavy meat
eaters, while the bears in this part of Russia eat less meat and
are therefore probably not very aggressive. NOVEMBER 6, 2000
