National Park Service warns not to push your 'slower friend' down when running from bears

The National Park Service has an important message for those who encounter a bear in the wild: Don't "push a slower friend down" when running away, even if the friendship is nearing the end of its life.

NPS gave the cheeky advice Tuesday in a series of tweets, saying, "If not friend, why friend shaped? What about your other friend? Seeing a bear in the wild is a special treat for any visitor to a national park. While it is an exciting moment, it is important to remember that bears in national parks are wild and can be dangerous."

As the snow begins to melt and temperatures rise, bears become more active. NPS has some tips you can use to help ward off a potentially lethal situation:

Identify yourself by talking calmly so the bear knows you aren’t prey.
Remain still and stand your ground, but slowly wave your arms.
Stay calm. Remember that most bears do not want to attack, they just want to be left alone.
