detailing safety tips regarding how to avoid potential bear attacks in the wild.
The tweet, which had approximately 5.4 million views as of Wednesday, prompted hundreds of comments, some of which the verified NPS Twitter account replied to. The National Park Service warned that as spring arrives and snow begins to melt, bears are more active and could endanger parkgoers.," the NPS told one user who asked what someone should do if they are the slower friend.
"Okay, but what if the bear looks really hungry? Don't they deserve a lil snack as a treat?" asked another user, to which the NPS replied,"Do you consider yourself the faster or slower of the two friends?" Responding to a user who asked if it would be OK to push an acquaintance in front of a bear, the NPS wrote,"Friendships are special, but they don't happen by chance. It takes effort and trust to build a lasting friendship. Good luck."
