Big bears do not get big by eating tiny humans. They get that way by being smart and avoiding them. Humans get old by avoiding bears. As las said, it's largely a matter of brain use - or not. (You might also reference Timmy T. if you need further evidence of this concept.)
Avoid whale stink emanating from the alders and other similar situations. (Clue here: the whale probably had help getting there.
) If you're a raven or magpie lover/watcher, buy more life insurance. (Clue here: they're either hanging around 'cause something's already dead, or they have reason to believe you may become their next meal.
) If you find a freshly 'baked' berry pie cooling on the tundra, stay clear. (Clue here: Aunt Millie doesn't - or shouldn't anyway- put twigs, leaves, and green berries in her pies....hopefully.
) About animal tracks: if it makes a big track with two toes, stay alert, but don't worry; if there are also small two-toe tracks intermingled: perhaps worry some. If the tracks involve ten toes- five smaller 'toes' ahead of five bigger round impressions, move in the direction of the bigger ones.
