- Cost: The Chinese source describes no direct cost, suggests carrying a hiking pole and travelling with others, and notes that resisting the urge to run is difficult. Equipment suitability remains unreviewed.
- In plain language: The cited US park guidance advises calm speech, distance and slow sideways retreat from a stationary bear; stop if it follows. Avoid running or climbing trees. Attack responses differ by situation and species: the brown/grizzly guidance includes playing dead, but persistent attacks require fighting back; black-bear attacks require escape to shelter or resistance. Stalking or tent attacks by any bear are exceptions to playing dead.
- Benefit: The source is safety guidance, not a measured mortality reduction. No approach guarantees safety; local park instructions take priority for the specific setting.
- Evidence grade: The Chinese source assigns B only to bear guidance. It assigns C to its experiential boar and wild-dog advice, for which it reports no located official forestry guidance. Neither grade constitutes RecheckNest publication approval.

- Notes: The Chinese title combines bears, boars and groups of wild dogs, while the principal cited encounter guidance concerns bears. Its slow-retreat, higher-ground or barrier advice for boars and dogs is unverified and must not be presented as supported by that bear source. The Chinese source also advises against feeding animals, approaching for photographs or bringing dogs into boar areas; species-specific and regional verification remains pending. For dog bites or scratches, it refers to chapter 13, entry 13 on exposure care, which needs separate verification.
Editorial scope: This draft corrects the scope of the original title and restores attack exceptions omitted from its summary. US bear guidance is not proof of appropriate handling for every bear population in China or elsewhere. Species identification, local instructions, non-bear advice and rabies care remain pending independent high-risk review. Not approved for publication.
