Bears, sentence 16

A brown bear can run about 50 kilometres an hour in short bursts, faster than the fastest human sprinter, and a mother with cubs is especially dangerous, so back away slowly and never go between a mother and her cubs.

Who acts: brown bear, mother · What happens: run about, be, not go · To what, where: 50 kilometres, short bursts
