Bears aren't nearly as scary as sharks. I'd rather be around a bear
than a shark any day.


Chances are good that you've been in the water fairly close to some
large sharks. They are everywhere. But even in the water with a
"maneater" it's not likely you'd get attacked or even know the animal
is there.

If you stumble across a Black, Brown or Grizzly bear you can have a
serious problem. Bears can attack over territory, fear, young nearby or
even if they're hungry enough. As Ozzy points out, it's probably a
slower death with more pain.

But to me the shark is a real "monster." It's just as frightening as
any movie monster, perhaps worse in that it inhabits our dreams as well
as nightmares. The shark also hides from us, in a place we generally
view as recreational, even romantic. Attacked in the water, the human
being could hardly be more naked and vulnerable.
