Superstitions about bears and their reality.

After the snake, perhaps the bear is the animal about which innumerable superstitions are known in the subcontinent and in other countries for centuries.
I have written earlier about superstitions related to snakes. Today let's talk about the bear:

1- Bear lover:
The most absurd myth about the bear is that the bear can be attracted to a woman or a girl. In such a case, he follows and monitors him until he gets an opportunity and kidnaps him.
He then takes her to his cave and licks the soles of her feet to immobilize her so that she cannot run away. 🤷🏻‍♀️
The bear is so sensitive in this matter that he even kills his beloved's husband or lover out of jealousy.
In spreading this superstition, Anwar Alighi's book "Mystery of the Bear" has worked like oil on the fire.
Reality:
A bear is not interested in any woman except his female. A bear can be interested in a human being, male or female, only if he is very hungry and that man or woman sees him in his forest.
.
2- Pretend to be dead in front of a bear?
From childhood stories, we have been hearing that if you face a bear, lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.
Reality:
Showing yourself dead in front of a bear is like putting yourself on a plate and offering it to the bear.
Bro Bears also eat carcasses.
Bears have to fatten themselves up by eating and drinking well before the arrival of winter, so that the excess fat melts during hibernation to keep them alive, otherwise they will starve to death while sleeping but will not be able to wake up. Honey, fish, live or dead animals eat anything, that too regularly.
Instead of pretending to be dead in front of a black bear, shouting with all your might, waving a piece of wood, a shirt or any other object or running in its direction while screaming is an authentic way to scare it away. When faced with a brown bear, it is an authentic way to retreat step by step with a look in its eyes. And a person's chances of encountering a polar bear are negligible if he is unprepared.

3- A bear cannot run down a slope, so run down the slope when you encounter a bear.
Reality:
And if there is a slope from the end, right? So please beg the bear that there is a steep path five kilometers away, come with me there and catch me.
Not only can a bear run down a slope, it can run better and faster than a human.
.
4- The bear's eyesight is weak.
Reality:
A bear's eyesight is quite sharp and clear.
The bear can see well up to 1200 feet distance and hunts it by seeing the exact location of the fish under the running water.
.
5- By sitting on the bear many diseases are removed
Another ridiculous superstition held in the subcontinent is popularized by bear dancing Orbiters. That the child who sits on the bear's back for a few moments will get rid of all his diseases. So the children ask Madari to sit on the bear and give money to Madari.
