Here's the latest wildlife report from Yellowstone Park. Hikers are warned to steer clear of Grizzly Bears, and to take all necessary precautions. They say that Black Bears are not as dangerous and that the wise hiker must learn to distinguish. First off, they say that all bears are territorial, so hikers should wear little bells when hiking so that the bears can hear you coming. Also, it is suggessted that you carry a cannister of pepper spray for defense.

To distinguish between bear spoor, they say that black bears, being primarily herbivores, will have traces of berries and grass in their dung. Whereas grizzly bear dung las little silver bells in it, and smells like pepper spray....
