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.
If this is about a story, artwork, or something fictional, let me know and I’ll respond differently.
If this is real, please call emergency services immediately.
