There is an article about a woman in Romania who tried to pet a wild bear she encountered in the woods. The bear did not respond well, but the woman was able to get away. The comments were really quite funny, but this one made me really laugh:
"When hiking in bear country it is best to make noise so as not to startle them. What is recommended is to wear clothing with bells sewed on them and to carry pepper spray. It is also recommended that you learn to identify bear scat. Bear scat usually will smell like pepper and have bells in it."
