[details=“English Translation”]A bear will not touch a dead body.[/details] @zzcguns, just though I would point out this other sentence with anrühren, and yet another corpse to be avoided.

Ah yes, very good - and in this case I expect that it won’t touch it even with a pair of gloves on!

Yes, but again, the dead body is not mandatory.
Ein Bär rührt ein Stinktier kein zweites Mal an.
A bear won’t touch a skunk a second time.
The point is the disgust.

Yes, the disgust, just coincidentally another corpse. Weirdly, I have had two dogs that really should have learned German, specifically anrühren. They both have been skunked multiple times, never seemed to learn. One of the two also had a few porcupine encounters…etwas Schreckliches zu bewältigen.
