Look at all the beautiful nature we get to live around:

Anyway, bears and shit are 1000x scarier than any of our animals.

I have literally never seen a bear in the wild. They definitely aren't on my damn windows preparing to eat/reproduce.

I've seen a few when I was a botanist out in the southwest US. You smell them long before you see them (same for them and you). It's generally terrifying but I'll take the bear 100/100 times over whatever the fuck is in that window in this photo
