Which leads to the handbook for what to do when attacked by a bear:

Brown or grizzly:  Play dead.  The bear will probably sniff you and
go away.

American black bear:  It's starving.  Fight back at all costs, using
whatever is handy: sticks, stones, etc.

Polar bear:  Don't worry about it.  You *will* be killed and eaten.
