Can bears smell pee? |
Like if it was the middle of the night and I was too tired to go off way out of camp and take a piss, and instead I went 10 feet to the nearest tree, would a bear possibly smell that and come to check it out? Plus, does anyone know what the range of temperatures I could encounter at Glacier in Montana? Well, not only would he smell the pee, but he would smell you. Bears have an extremely well developed sense of smell. Now, whether he came and checked you out might depend on the individual bear. Bears tend to shun contact with humans. But sometimes if the situation is right, one might come and check you out. But it is very unlikely. Source(s): http://www.all-creatures.org/bear/b-bear... Bears have a very good sense of smell. Well do you think they smell everything? They are also very smart animals and most choose to stay away from humans. Oh yeah, bears can smell urine but that don`t mean they like the smell. If you`r a woman menstruating? That might be a diffrent issue. bears can smell pee, and it's a good idea to go all around your campsite in bear country, so as to "mark" your space, bears don't like people and avoid them if they can. Bears probably would come and smell it, but probably not bother anyone. Most bears will do their best to say away from humans. I am glad you are going to Glacier. I have spent many a summer there. Since Glacier is in the mountains you can expect any weather you want. If you wait long enough. The mountains make their own weather. If you are hiking above treeline and thunder clouds appear, get off the mountain as soon as you can. Don't go into a cave, just go down. Even if the storm seems far away lightning can still occur. More people are killed by lightning in the park then by bears. Have a good time. It is a beautiful place. Lots of animals, waterfalls, etc. bears have poor eye-sight so other senses make up for it. they have an incredible sense of smell and i have seen them come right across a valley because they could smell an elk carcass. when i'm out i use the 50 yard rule. never pee or poop within 50 yards of where you are staying. and keep your food at least 50 yards away as well preferably up a tree (throw a rope over a branch and hoist it up). i live in the BC Rockies just north of the Montana border and have seen temperatures in the 90's as well as blizzards in the high country in July. bring something for every occasion because the weather can turn nasty in the blink of an eye. |
