I don't think it fully leaps into the air (all four legs off the ground) but even has a pouncing distance of one of two feet, you need to remember that these bears are about 8 feet tall on their hind legs and travel up to 25mph in short bursts.

Depends on how hungry / angry he is.

If you can hear him, you are too close.
