When you come eye to eye with a predator you see their nature and behavioral imprint.

Cats, big and small, have eyes like a viper. Extremely focused and disciplined when the brain switches to kill mode, a lethally efficient kill mode.

Wolves, excluding dogs, have the eyes of an opportunist, they analyze all options when it's kill time, including the targeted kill and they're always squinting in a way that makes it known they're up to something. A wolf will stalk you and you won't even know it until "it" decides to make it's presence known, either behind or along side of you, that's when you know you're safe.

A bear is totally different from other animals. Looking into the eyes of a bear you don't see a killer that will pack attack, sever your ham strings to bring you down and then have your throat ripped open by no less than 3 fanged jaws. Nor is there the calculating stare that goes with planning an attack.

Everything about looking into the eyes of a bear is calming. The fucking beast is all muscle and nerves and has the potential to do seismic damage and only fights when it has to, that's their nature. A bear doesn't circle you like wolves or slime bag coyotes, it comes head on and, from my personal experience, it'll either be in the form of wobbly strut or at greeting pace, never a long distance charge. I've watched bears charge at each other, either to protect cubs from male bears or during mating. Believe me, there's nothing more viscous and violent looking than pissed off bears charging towards each other.

A person will die of fright first with a bear in full charge and in kill mode.

Bears have a "don't give a fuck" look to them. Most of all, bears don't have the eyes of a killer.

Many humans I don't even want to make eye contact with.
