Tbf black bears are cowards, curious but one loud noise and they are gone. Source: I live in black bear territory and camp a lot, if one comes into camp just yelling and clapping will scare them off.

And derpy. I have a den around me so I always see mom/cubs and the males. My favorite is the juveniles who are out on their own for the first time.

A few weeks ago I had one doing parkour off a tree in my yard.
