More Info: Of all the possible threats to grizzly bear survival, long-distance joggers on mountain trails aren’t high on the list. But the reverse isn’t true, according to Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee adviser Chris Servheen. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s grizzly bear recovery coordinator said trail runners are approaching photographers as the backcountry group most likely to get badly hurt in an animal encounter.

Question: Do you engage in any activity in bear country that might cause you to become a griz chew toy?
