Right before a grizzly bear makes contact in a surprise attack at close range (and you don’t have pepper spray), roll into a ball or lie face down, try to protect your neck an face, and pray. Don't stick your arm out, kick, scream, or fight. Try to protect the vulnerable parts of your body while remaining as still as possible, this will actively be helping the bear remove the perceived threat. No eye contact, no turning your back or running.

No, but running or climbing a tree won't help either. If a bear wants you for dinner (not as a guest) it can have you, unless you kill it first.

Not when it comes to a polar bear, they will eat you even if your dead.

Even if it WAS true, I dont think I could stop running to find out. I dont think it's natural for a person to be thinking about anything but RUNNING.

Well, to me personally, only in TV shows...
Animals could actually smell whether something is still alive or not... ^_^

I hear shooting it first and making it ''play'' dead is a lot more effective.

Not a technique I'd want to rely on?
