Crunchy

The article about the lady who fed the bears came to mind, unbidden, while Cow out walking at night heard a crunching sound.
Excerpt from an article comment:

Pick one...On encountering Grizzlies one might...
A, Feed grizzlies
B, Run screaming from grizzlies
C, Run screaming at grizzlies
D, Faint
E, Play Dead
F, Start singing while backing slowly away and not looking the bear in the eye.
G, Bring firearm to battery and commence firing PRN.
H, Carefully place claymore mine, unreel the detonator wires, detonate.
I, spray one's entire body with capsacin-based bear deterrent.
J,Send call sign "Prairie Fire" and provide co-ordinates for ensuing airstrike.
K, Strip to your loincloth, begin drumming, while imploring Brother Grizzly to impart his sacred wisdom. Expect the arrival of the Great Bear Spirit.

Okay, who knew hunters had such good senses of humor?

Stripping to your loincloth might work for quite a few humans. Or run up a tree like a raccoon.

Kevin: squishy, though.

RJ: Ha!

Gorilla: (note to self: remember Loincloth!)

Lulu: having neglected to bring the claymore mine, drum or bear-spray, Cow took the only action possible: walking briskly in another direction!

Moo!
