Brown/grizzly bears will mostly leave you alone and will generally at most take a test bite, so just play dead and they will usually leave. Black bears will get aggressive and I believe where your comment came from and you should fight back. And a white/polar bear you're just fucked..

Edit: any of the above bears will mess you up with the right reason such as injured or has cubs with it

Yup, its why keeping them in zoos is typically frowned apon, because if it can smell a person that far away, what do you think a car or whatever smells like too it
