· 3 pulled'Nearly 70% of male respondents claimed that if they encountered an aggressive grizzly in the wild, they could successfully seduce the animal before it attacked,' said lead researcher Dr. Kevin Miller.
'I don't care how big its claws are or how many teeth it has—I'm confident I could smooth-talk that grizzly right out of its fur,' said study participant and Denver resident Mark Davies.
'It's not about physical strength or survival skills,' Davies continued. 'It's about confidence, charm, and knowing how to make a bear feel special.'
