I'm Charlie, a kind and gentle bear who was raised with humans. Bears who are raised in the woods look at humans a little differently than I do. If you see a real live bear who bends at the waist and can run really well - and happens to be in the same area you are; be sure to keep your distance. Many bears don't understand that most humans are really okay and just want to be their friends. And, most likely, I won't be there to talk Bear language and help you out. Bears can get scared and protective of their own spaces. I've seen it happen with humans, too. So, don't push it; just give them their space and don't get in their way. On the other hand, I am kind and gentle and I am not afraid to look for grreat people and places throughout my adventures in the USA. I hope we'll meet some day and I can be your friend.
