Killer Bears in Alaska

Question: If you live in Alaska are you more likely to die from a Polar or Grizzly Bear?
Answer: Grizzly. Between 1900 and 2002 there was 1 death from a polar bear, 6 from black bears and 48 from grizzly bears. The odds of dying from any bear are going down as the animals are threatened by extinction.
