Bear spray

Bear spray is a type of spray that helps protect people from big, scary bears that might hurt them. It works kind of like bug spray, but instead of keeping bugs away, it keeps big bears away.

When you spray bear spray, it creates a big cloud of smelly stuff that the bear doesn't like. This smell is really strong and makes the bear's nose hurt, so it usually runs away. Sometimes, the bear might not like the smell so much that it even runs away before it gets close to you.

It's important to remember that bear spray is not a toy or something you should play with. When you use it, you should always make sure you're in danger and need to protect yourself. If you're hiking or camping where bears might be around, it's a good idea to bring bear spray with you just in case.
