Why? Also, what?

Everyone deserves to know if they can outrun a bear. Because the question isn't if you'll ever need this knowledge, but when. By blending cutting-edge science and technology (and maybe a dash of bear psychology), we're spreading crucial bear-related wisdom to a world that didn’t know it needed it!

Free the panda!

We're all thinking it: pandas so cute and fluffy, and they eat so much bamboo they're practically vegitarians. If any of these bears are outrunnable, it's got to be the panda...right?

Well, maybe! But here's the thing—those roly-poly black and white bears can actually move pretty fast when they want to. Sure, they spend most of their time munching bamboo and doing adorable somersaults, but don't let that fool you.

With your help we can release the panda and answer the question once and for all. Just remember to bring your running shoes...and maybe some bamboo as a peace offering!
