The Formosan bear is a large land animal with fl short hair, sturdy, thick bulky paws, and V-shaped white fur on its chest, so is also called the "white-throated bear." Fables tell us to "play dead" or "climb a tree" to avoid being attacked by a bear if we chance upon one.
Climbing trees is another skill of the Formosan fl bear, so if this is how you try to escape from it, you are "barking up the wrong tree." The best thing to do when you chance upon a bear is to stay calm; don't provoke it and leave the vicinity as soon as you can.
