  • the story of the spirit bear and the raven is so unreal its surreal.

  • Looks like a polar bear, reading touching spirit bear

  • enbridge and the northern gateway pipeline are now our biggest threat in keeping this majestic creature alive

  • @Johnyringo4 how do they not try to kill you? also, wtf is wrong with you???!!

  • wtf

    

  • Is there a possibility of the spirit bears being half grizzly, half polar like they have found in Alaska?

  • Everyone who watches this video should know that the land and water the spirit bears call home are being threatened by Enbridge Northern Gateway, a oil company with a record of over 700 oil spills in the last ten years.

    The proposed pipeline would create only about 3o jobs but would jeopardize the entire spirit bear population, among others.

    Sign a letter to protect the Spirit Bear:

    go to NRDC online dot org and search "save the spirit bear"

  • SPIRIT BEARRRRR <3

  • I just found out about spirit bears because of the article in National Geographic.

  • thumbs up if you loved when the bear jumped in the water for the fishie i love these bears, they're so cute !

  • Animals going extinct all the time-maybe it's just their time who are we to interfere?

  • With residential and commercial development, hunters, highways, logging, and not to mention athropogenic climate change. Their are hardly any animals in the world that are threatened with extinction, that are not in one way or another, artificially impacted.

  • @James29440

    Newsflash: we are the one's who already interfered and ended their time here!

  • @plumeria66 Who cares? Won't be long on whole human race will go extinct, with no one around to miss us. Insects will rule the world do you think they will be on YouTube commenting about how much they could have done to save us? I say, flood the world with gasoline and let this baby burn

  • there has been some new findings in regards to the great spirt bear. First off they are all homosexual just like Rajnoma and thats why they are not repopulating. Secondly they are not all that special to begin with, they are freakin white for christ sake, making them very easy to spot. Thats how i bagged my first one, seen that sucker from mile away. lastly they make beautiful little rugs, its like a miniture version of the polar bear one i have by the fire place.

  • @Johnyringo4 glad you feel more like a man with that statement. I'm all about hunting man, but you make us all look like douchebags by saying what you just said.

  • @Johnyringo4 You need medication. It's people like you that are responsible for the endangered and extinct species on this planet.  That you would utter such statements just shows what a soulless human being you are.

  • Now an oil company wants to build a pipeline clear through the rainforest, and send huge oil tankers up and down the rivers. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SHIT? WORST PART IS THE GODDAMNED CANADIANS WILL PROBABLY LET EM! DONT THOSE FUCKING OIL ASSHOLES RESPECT ANYTHING?

  • @123456atatta You know those assholes don't respect anything but the almighty dollar.

  • The Nature Conservancy...Bueno Video!

  • I so agree with Herpkid 56: if only there were fewer people on this overcrowded planet and MORE BEARS!! My wish is that someday bears will take over the world and we will be subservient to the bears. I understand that Native Americans believed the Spirit Bear to be sacred. They certainly seem blessed by an awesome power and a regal stature. Spirit Bears do seem to have an aura of almost supernatural strength and power. They are very, very special bears indeed. To me, all bears are beauties!

  • THIS BEAR DOES NOT !!!! LIVE ONLY IN THE AREA CLAIMED IN THIS VIDEO... I SAW ONE IN OREGON!!!!

  • I live in Oregon. Last spring on the Northeast side of Mt. Hood I thought I saw a sheep ahead ,. WE WERE AMAZED !! NO !!! it was not a sheep! we saw as soon as it stood up that it was a snow white bear. IT WAS A SPIRIT BEAR !! We are so blessed. I have searched... no..... feared running into a bear in the Oregon woods. My life will never be the same. 45 years looking for a bear ... I've seen one A SPIRIT BEAR!!!

  • albino bear>>?

  • 400 Spirit Bears, 7 billion humans, I would like it if there were less humans and few more bears.

  • @Herpkid56 probably about 300 or so now, people hunting them too simply because they are spirit bears!! They only live in one area, can you guess where they live mostly? Oregon & BC i think.

  • they are amazingly beautiful

  • So im guessing that is where cole matthews from touching spirit bear went to that island and saw the spirit bear.

  • weren't these supposed to be kept secret or something like that

  • What an amazing animal, I would love to see one in the wild. I've come to find out there are millions of acres protected within national parks, biosphere reserves, wildlife refuges, and conservation easements, but there is still a need to protect the habitat of unique animals such as this bear. Wildlife habitat protection should be evenly and widely distributed across all ecosystems.

  • its just a polar bear??

  • @jgoldston96 no its not stupid

  • @jgoldston96 its not just a polar bear hey are not even related to polar bears they are a black bear with a strange skin coloring

  • hopefully oil companies dont set down an oil line threw there habitat it will kill the last of them

  • @Stevethebastard I think they already have. :(

  • It would be AWESOME to have one of these mounted on my wall

  • @Ghengis66 And it would be AWESOME to have your skin up on my wall to.

  • @JoanJoan1997 I'm not nearly as fat, cute, OR fuzzy. And, dear - it's too... when you're using the word to mean "in addition", you need to add an "O". English... Learn it!! Kiss kiss.

  • @Ghengis66 I already know ENGLISH. I usually have perfect, or close to perfect grammar. Lol, but those are just my beliefs. If you want to hurt such a delicate bear like this, then you should be hurt too. Except the population difference is WAY different. There are millions of people, and MAYBE 400 of those Spirit Bears at the most. Soooo, yeah.

  • @Ghengis66 Oh yeah, kiss kiss.

  • Who in the world could dislike this video it's totally touching and those bears are so majestic as is their habitat. anyone who could possibly support a pipeline through the great bear rainforest needs to do us all a favor and take a long walk off a short pier

  • 1:29 disgusting.

  • Wasn't there a book written about these bears..

    Oh and this is a reason why I am atheist. These bears are created by a god.. oh yeah..(sarcasm) its fucking evolution.

  • @LbsOfTech and god created evolutionism, seewhatididthar?

  • @ArmoredAcolyte Good job with that comment.. when something conflicts theistic beliefs.. they adapt their beliefs.. they cycle will continue for many more centuries, eventually the human population will realize their gullible beliefs..

  • @LbsOfTech your taking wat i said way to seriously

  • @ArmoredAcolyte Well when talking to theists, they normally are hard to talk to so I get all my arguments across because listening to their babble is very annoying.

  • kill em all

  • @XxRSKINZxX Get friends.

  • BIG OIL IS RUINING THE EARTH WE MUST STOP THEM

  • This G0Idva character cracks me up, and pisses me off at the same time. When are idiots like G0ldva going to stop making it a f---ing racial issue! I know his comment was 1 year ago, but all it takes is for another idiot like him/her to read it now, and start up the racial BS again. If you happen to read this G0ldva, it's not about the color BS. Grow up, and realize that this is all about lives, and especially the lives of these precious animals.

  • The A--holes (oil punks) said that "if" an incident were to happen, where a leak should occur, they would be at it 100% to prevent anything happening to these BEAUTIFUL spirit giants. I have a better plan! How about NOT touching their home, NOT YOURS, at all to prevent anything BAD thing from happening to begin with! The BAD has already happened with you A--holes even started thinking about it all. Why can't you just leave nature, and life alone!!!

  • well bye,bye spirit bear use to be a seceret where thier location is to protect it but now hunters are gonna killem for such a rare bear.

  • leave it to people to want to destroy their only left habitat so we can put down oil lines and roads. we need to preserve the animals so our grandchildren will have animals

  • And srry bout hose 3 comment they where suppose to be one but I accidently press "Go" on my phone : /

  • 30billion humans and way more to just ruin nature... Kids these days don't even hardly appreciate about wat nature gives us, if we didn't have all these high tech knowledge then that could change on how we are today... Also here's a fun fact: If us humans didn't have thumbs we wouldn't have all this crap today like phones, TV, cars, electronics and way more! What we have today was not suppose to be here.

  • WAY over populate.... You would think the government would enforce laws about nature but it seems they could careless about the animals sometimes... Sometimes it makes me wish that I could live somewhere else with out a fucking 30bi

  • Well it's wat happens to nature because of us humans... To me I think that we are

  • This made me an idea, when the ice melts we can put all the polar bears in this rain forest to save them 83

  • "Carbon sink", heh heh. ANYTHING is an excuse to insert Communist propaganda into a video.

  • I wonder if the polar bears began as a defect.

  • beautiful bears........may they be preserved well (^_^)

  • i heard 1 out of 10 black bears are spirit bears, and more and more are showing up all over B.C. (in which i live)

  • good coffee, weed is legal, free healthcare, and spirit bears. British columbia is basically heaven

  • @applejackssman Amen

  • Strange , I left a message a few , minutes ago, about these Beautiful creatures , It was not posted ?? How sad ...

  • It is our wish , that all may enjoy , this Video , but also , whilst after watching this ,, that you will, go on To,, The Wolves of the Rain Forest .. Only thru sharing our knowledge , will we truly learn ..~~~ Thank_ You

  • they are so cute. all bears are but especially spirit bear.

  • Ponies!

  • The fur is actually translucent, not white.

  • if we just gave the bears guns and body armor we could probably solve this whole poaching problem.

    it worked for sea otters.

  • @nedjimb0, bears can't use guns. How about requiring hunters to use only claws? That would even out the odds.

  • G0ldva shut the fuck up

  • amazing

  • wow, is that your only form of defense? "shut up"?

    u shut up!!!! do u not respect nature?

  • hey g0ldva, you shut up!!!! he's right!!! these bears are one of the most beautiful creatures i have ever seen, and they are destroying it.

  • it works the same as a tiger being born white.

  • @cstpierrex yes and no, the bears are breeding naturally, and the white tigers all come from captive cats, often times they come from breeding close family members, because they know those particular animals posses the recessive genes. They are often born with horrible birthdefects ( look up Kenny @ Turpentine Creek in Eureka Springs Arkansas) alot die at birth or shortly after, and many times if an orange cub is born in the litter, it is killed.

  • @cstpierrex exactly

  • I've encountered 2 spirit bears, they seem to be very nice they don't attack people for some reason

  • @1Shazzam

    Most black bear, the bear that the spirit bear is a derivative of, don't attack people either.

  • the most beautiful thing i every saw

  • I know right?

  • great to see, thank you for doing this ,we have to save our wild life,,,i hope we can save our wild horses too,,,and all wild life,,,

  • i've never heard of these bears before..they really blend with the forest.. how man kills things such majestic creatures an destroys such majic places all for worthless bits of paper is beyond me.

  • i need to watch this because of my reasearch project.

  • I watched without needing too.
