Here's why:
* Fatality Rate: The number of human deaths caused by grizzly bears in Canada is extremely low, averaging less than one per year.
* Other Predators: Canada has other predators that are statistically more dangerous to humans, such as:
* Moose: Moose are responsible for more human fatalities than any other animal in Canada, primarily due to vehicle collisions.
* Black bears: While generally less aggressive than grizzlies, black bears are responsible for more attacks than grizzly bears.
* Human Interactions: Grizzly bear attacks are often preventable and occur primarily when humans are not properly prepared for encounters in bear habitat.
Grizzly bears are an important part of Canada's ecosystem. It is crucial to respect their space and take necessary precautions to avoid encounters.
