If a bear is attacking a baby

If a bear is attacking a baby, this is an immediate life-threatening emergency. Call your local emergency number right now.

Here’s what to do immediately if you are physically present:

🚨 1. Get the bear’s attention

Shout loudly.

Make yourself look as big as possible.

Wave your arms.

Use anything to make noise (horn, metal object, car alarm).

🛑 2. Do NOT run

Running can trigger a chase

response.

🧱 3. Use objects as barriers

Throw objects toward (not necessarily at) the bear.

Put large items between the bear and the baby (chairs, trash cans, coolers).

🐻 4. Use bear spray (if available)

Aim slightly downward so the spray rises into the bear’s face when it approaches.

⚠️ 5. Physical intervention (last resort)

If the bear is actively mauling:

Use any weapon available (stick, rock, tool).

Target the face and nose.

Continue fighting aggressively.

After the bear retreats:

Get the baby to medical care immediately.

Even small wounds can cause severe bleeding or infection.
