These huge, strong animals can live for 30 years. Despite a weight of up to 300 kilograms, they can run at a speed of around 64 kilometres per hour and are also excellent swimmers.

Three Elements Setting time place Character
Plot
Last spring in Yellowstone, I followed a path that took me through a dark forest. When I finally stepped out of the trees, the view was breathtaking. An eagle flew over the snow-capped mountains, which were reflected in the still lake below. While I was concentrating on photographing this amazing scene, I suddenly had a feeling that I was being watched. Slowly, and with the camera still held to my eye, I turned… and froze. Only metres away from me was a bear. With water falling off its thick, brown hair, the bear stared back at me. Time stood still as the bear and I both waited to see who would move first. My legs started shaking. Somehow, I forced my finger to press the button. A second later, the bear turned and ran back into the forest. When I recovered from the shock, I looked at my camera. My most frightening but magical experience was now captured forever in a single image.

Think&Share. What should we do if we encounter a bear
Identify yourself by talking calmly so the bear knows you are a human and not a prey(猎物) animal. Remain still; stand your ground but slowly wave your arms.
Stay calm. Do not make any loud noises or screams—the bear may think it’s the sound of a prey animal.
Don’t run.Bears can run as fast as a racehorse both uphill and down. Like dogs, they will chase eeing animals.
Don’t climb a tree. Black bears can climb trees.
Make yourselves look as large as possible (eg: move to higher ground).
Summary
Humans and animals, we are both the native creatures, we should respect all the animals that exist in the universe, and treat them kindly.
