In summary, the conversation discussed the concept of a green bear and whether or not it exists. Some people prefer blue bears, while others believe that the photo of a green bear is fake. The conversation also mentioned encounters with different animals and a debate about the best type of bear. A reference was made to a mama bear and the potential danger she poses.

There may be no blue bears (are there really green bears?), but that does not prevent the existence of people who prefer blue bears.

Uh - no one here really believes this pic is real, yes?

I've only run away from two animals in the woods. A skunk that I encountered in the dark (don't ask), and a bear cub (never got around to seeing the mama bear).
