Les ours noirs sont pacifiques.

Black bears are generally afraid of people due to a combination of factors:

Learned behavior from interactions with humans: Through encounters with humans, black bears have learned that humans can pose a threat to their safety and wellbeing. Over generations, this fear of humans has become ingrained in their behavior.

Avoidance of confrontation: Black bears are relatively small and solitary bears compared to their larger cousins like grizzly bears. They tend to avoid direct confrontation with humans, as they are more likely to be injured or killed in a physical altercation.

Sensitivity to human activity and presence: Black bears have heightened senses that allow them to detect the presence of humans through smells, sounds, and visual cues. This sensitivity helps them avoid potential threats and danger.

Negative experiences with humans: Encounters where black bears have been shot at, trapped, or had their food sources disrupted by humans can lead to increased wariness and fear towards people. These negative experiences get passed down to younger generations.

Instinctual response: Like many wild animals, black bears have an innate fear response to the presence of humans, which is likely an evolutionary adaptation to help them avoid dangerous encounters and increase their chances of survival.
