Run Grizzly, Run!

Russians are renowned for their resilience in the face of harsh winters, wars, famine, and revolutions. So, when a 700-pound brown bear came into contact with a man wielding a bat, the grizzly didn’t stand a chance. In the motherland, it’s the animals who run away from people, not the other way around!

Russia is believed to be home to the world’s largest population of brown bears, with an estimated half of all 200K of these majestic creatures living in the Motherland. So, while encounters like this might seem rare, they’re actually quite common. Grizzlys beware: in Russia, you’re no match for the fearless and unyielding spirit of its people!
