Dangerous Encounters: Brown Bear Simulations

A person gets up close and personal with a brown bear. This shows what it's like to get pushed around by such a powerful large animal. The massive bear can sure move heavy objects. The person inside the safety cage experiences the power of the bear. This is not a snack vending machine. This is pretty scary.

The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is an interesting bear species found across Eurasia and North America. In North America, the populations of brown bears are called grizzly bears. The fascinating brown bear is recognized as a national and state animal in several European countries.

It seems that the brown bear's range has shrunk and it has faced local extinctions. However, it certainly remains listed as a least concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) with a total population of approximately 200,000.
