Ways to attract a sea bear
The following are ways that attract a sea bear:


 * Playing the clarinet badly as did
 * Waving a flashlight back and forth really fast ( says flashlights are their natural prey)
 * Stomping around ( says they take it as a challenge)
 * Eating cubed cheese; sliced is safe
 * Wearing a sombrero in a silly fashion (such as upside down or tilted)
 * Wearing clown shoes
 * Wearing a hoop skirt
 * Screeching like a chimpanzee (from how SpongeBob and Patrick say "never, ever, ever," this is a very big attractor)
 * Running (makes them attack again)
 * Limping (worse than running)
 * Crawling (even worse than limping)
 * Possibly infuriating them too much (SpongeBob tells Squidward that Sea Bears dislike him)

Prevention
Sea bear attacks are preventable by drawing an anti-sea-bear circle in the sand. However, drawing an oval will not work. They also seem to love tummy tickles and jellyfish jelly.

"The Camping Episode"
A sea bear is the main antagonist of this episode.

Squidward initially did not believe in the sea bear's existence, before he was attacked by one in this episode. However, SpongeBob and Patrick are fervent believers, having read about them in The Bikini Bottom Inquirer and Fake Science Monthly, which are both tabloid magazines. Squidward is mauled six times until he finally jumps into the dirt circle with the duo.

The sea bear appears again at the end, but seeing Squidward is now protected makes the sea bear leave the area, thus saving Squidward. The sound of a sea bear attack also attracts sea rhinoceros.
