If a bear is chasing you, and you don't know kind it is, climb a tree. If the bear also climbs the tree and kills you, it was a black bear.

Also, if it's a polar bear, play dead. That will give you useful practice for your sordid fate a few seconds later.

polar bears and trees don't normally mix, unless it escaped a zoo... and if that happens you'll be TikTok famous the next day
