TOP 10 ANIMAL HISSY FITS

Bear
3. BEAR

Don't look now, but a hungry, cantankerous 9-foot carnivore is lurking deep in North American forests. Big Foot? Nope, just big bear, whose hissy fits are no laughing matter — their tantrums are responsible for taking the lives of three people every year and seriously injuring dozens more. Bears will attack almost anything, but there's nothing worse than a mother's protective rage when she fears her cubs are threatened. A bear's temper tantrum can burn up valuable energy, and the need to save every last calorie for hibernation, so 90 percent of the time, their charges are merely bluffs. But would you want to take the risk of falling into the 10 percent that are not?
