    Animals only have so much motion to kill you. Polar bears have few food options and aren’t as scared of humans, while a lone black bear is more scared of you than you are of it. If you threaten any bear’s cubs, they’ll end you. However, apex predators rarely fight in the wild unless they have strong motive. They’ll often claim and cede territory without fighting directly.

      “take in a fight” assumes both sides will be fighting though, not just stumbling upon eachother.

      If a small sunbear wants to actively fight me, they’re like 30 kilos. I feel like have a nonzero chance against one. Not very much beyond zero though, because it’s got claws the size of my fingers
