Ditto what BBJ said. The grizz has a nasty disposition and will attack with little provocation. If you play dead it will often leave you. A black bear is far more abundant and will usually run away when confronted.When they do attack it is usually for a meal and you need to fight for your life because it wants to eat you. It happens every couple of years in Canada.
