No, the do not "kidnap" people, and they deffinately do NOT lick the bottoms of your feet so you cant run away. Your friend is just pulling your leg :) But bears are not something you should intimidate. They are HUGE and contrary to their size, they are fast. The most dangerous times of running into a bear is when the females are in heat (the males go crazy) and when you come across a mama bear and her cubs. She wont think twice before attacking, bc she doesn't want to take the chance of you hurting her babies. But don't be scared of bears. They really are amazing creatures. :)

This is totally fake.

Bears don't "like" people, except sometimes as food. They might drag someone away but that's only if they're in the process of trying to kill and eat them.

There's also nothing in their saliva that would dissolve your feet. Anyway even if there were, if they could sneak up on you enough to lick your feet, that means they could attack you before you could run anyway - and they can outrun you anyway.

Also remember most bears don't want to eat people and are just scared of them. Grizzly bears and polar bears are the most dangerous types but aren't the most common and are limited to certain regions.

Ahahaha. Yes he is trolling you.

But bears are not cuddly. They don't kill you like a lion would, they just whack you and often they drag you along the ground for a few metres.

No, they won't kidnap you. They just kill you right away. LoL

Hi guys, I've just came back from my first scout camp and while in camp one of the guys told me that some bears kidnap people if they like them. Is this true or he was mocking me? He also told me that bears lick bottoms of your feet and destroy the skin so that you can't run away. Right now this sounds quite stupid... I guess he only wanted to scare me. Am I right? Thanks for your answers :)
