Recently released study of black bear attacks in North America over the last century. A few surprises, you are more likely to be harmed by a black bear in Canada than the States and sows with cubs aren't as dangerous as once thought.

That is fascinating and timely with the start of the outdoor season! Thanks for posting it Dave.
As much time as I've spent around Kodiak browns (grizzlies), I find that I'm as guilty as most in attributing grizzly traits to blacks.
