Communicating With Bears: Black Bears: Sounds

» ConnieT - Sounds

The article I read did refer to the grizzly but obviously this person has never heard first hand the sound a grizzly makes. That was the only time I'd heard a grizzly roar and black bears I've only heard grunts.

Other animals make some interesting sounds. The whitetail deer makes a "snorting" type of sound when startled. And this enough to raise the hairs on one's neck and arms! I've also come face to face with a coyote who tends to bark just like a dog.

But as far as bears go, I haven't had much opportunity to hear too many sounds from them.
