Grizzly encounters only occur when people do not follow proper precautions when in grizzly habitat. Grizzly encounters are more likely to make national news because the most famous grizzly habitat is Yellowstone National Park.
Hmm that makes sense. I guess people probably here about a few and think it’s super common or something. But still, there are tons of them and they are nasty. And you can run into them hiking and such. Probably not even safe? Idk. Maybe mountain lions are a bigger threat? Those are really dangerous. But even bears, you can do everything right and there’s still been rogue bears, bad bears just wired differently, etc.
