Bears up close: noses, claws, dens, the honey myth and bear safety, sentence 19
Climbing a tree is not a safe escape, because black bears climb very well and young brown bears can too; advice for meeting a bear differs for each kind of bear, so park rangers explain it for their area.
Who acts: Climbing, black bears, advice, park rangers · What happens: climb, not be, meet, differ, explain · To what, where: tree, safe escape, bear
