What, don't tell me you honestly don't think bears wouldn't eat humans given the opportunity? I'm sure you can find some other links on google.
We don't have teeth or claws and we aren't very fast or strong, we're a very easy meal for predators. They don't care about how intelligent you are. It's instinct, and you're food.
The only reason they don't seemingly actively hunt and eat humans is because we're advanced to the level that we're no longer naturally a part of their habitat. If we lived in the forests like some less advanced cultures, we most certainly would be part of their menu.
But, you go into their habitat and don't seem threatening enough or have a weapon to scare it off or kill it... If it's hungry, you're a meal. Just like lions and tigers. It's a wild animal and it's a predator.
I mean, heck... there's a video of a lion eating someone on youtube:

Wild animals... predators... it's not much different with bears.
That... was... AWESOME :O
Anywho, I hear people say the ocean is a great place. But compared to land with predators, the ocean is like a endless space of liquid we cant travel inside with sooo many hidden creatures. These body of water contain the biggest living organism on earth and many undiscovered. Also I have a beef on sharks (always get a nightmare of them going after me in water).
People say "sharks don't attack people" cause "they can tell the difference between fish and human" which I call a total BS. Then when a shark does bite/eat/kill a human they say "the shark mistakenly attacked the person". Why make it the shark's fault? In nature these beasts are eating machine, once they find meal they will go after it, and things floating on water are VERY EASY TARGETS. Aslong you bleed, they can eat you. Just hope you dont have your period in the ocean...
