Fear of the bear triggers the bear attack? That's what you mean right?
I agree. In the same way that dogs feel when someones scared or a threat and they become aggressive.
Wild animals even more so because they are more hostile by nature.
That guy who lives with the bears has an extremely calm and relaxed energy around them and I think that has helped him live this long. Another guy timothy (forget his last name) also was a popular person who lived with bears for a bit and had a youtube channel that was popular. He had a chaotic and nervous energy about him. Seemed like a mentally ill individual. He ended up getting eaten with his girlfriend. It's *****.
You could see it coming a mile away.
If I become stressed my dog becomes stressed. Animals pick up vibes really easily.
If they were hostile by nature, that guy couldn't live with the bears safely. They are not hostile by nature, they are instinctual and reactive by nature. If they smell or sense fear (however they sense it), they must respond instinctually by perceiving PREY and/or THREAT.
Equals in power won't respond with fear, so they would likely conclude instinctually that such a creature is neither.
Great response. You're absolutely right! Very interesting.
I wonder how many other wild animals are like this?
Watching the video ( and I really suggest you do when you have unproductive time) and you will see the personality and beauty and calmness in the bears eyes. He has a go pro on and you can see the bear from 6 inches away so it's unbelievable.
They were all very calm around him, and the only explanation is what your saying, energy that he was giving off was extremely calm and peaceful so they had no reason to perceive him as a threat. And they grew a bond over time that made them somewhat trained to respond positively to him.
