  • I'm just wondering when are people going to realize you don't mess with Mother Nature...you can't keep the water back...you can't assume that it's safe to camp as if you're in your own back yard. I just don't get why people are so ignorant? (not meant for the poor fellow who died btw) And they're always showing Yellowstone and other places with a bunch of tourist out of their cars...clicking away...When the truth is...any wild animal can cross 100 yrs in 4 seconds flat!

  • They call it a "Park"...

    I call it "The Forest"...

    Im pretty sure that Bears belong in the Forest...and they behave like bears in their natural environment..

    Parks have swing sets and picnic benches ..and mens and ladies rooms....Thats a good place for people.

  • @Rodel757 Actually you are incorrect with your definition of what a park is. A park is land set aside for recreation. The definition also includes an area where animals are protected. Hence the official name is Yellowstone National Park and the reason why the officials who regulate and patrol the area are a part of the National Park Service.

  • @othrower74

    Perhaps to most people..(myself included..)

    The word "Park" implies.. BBQs and Family Fun....and restrooms..

    They should Rename this place" The Yellowstone National Wildlife Reservation... " and post Warning signs about Bears and Wolves...and stop calling it a Park!

  • @Rodel757 I would say that is there home not our playground STAY AWAY FROM BEARS WITH CUBS and get real do we really need to tell people it should be obvious

  • Saw a bear with cubs and kept on going?

  • @LetzBeaFranque lol, that would have been the average persons sign to start walking backwards slowly from where they came. I have little sympathy for their ignorance.

  • Comment removed

  • Hmmm, the guy at 1:17 was later killed by one of his bears. Sad but true fact. When are people going to start properly respecting these beasts?

  • Hmmm, they saw a bear with cubs and didnt get out of the area. Not the bears fault.

  • They really should have this sign over all such areas: "If you enter this area, you become bear food"

  • @ipscone Ummm daaaahhh its the wild there and yes there are postings every where before entering the parks. What the hell is a sign going to do deep in the park any way dumbarsh....

  • @ipscone Ahhh.....they do. When you enter Yellowstone they give you a ton of info and brochures that tell you all about the wildlife, what to do, what not to do. They have a ton of signs up all over the place. Before you go on overnight hikes, you have to go through a bear safety course. Perhaps you should take some time and visit the park before you accuse the Park Service for not doing a good job of letting people know there are bears in the park.

  • And those six animal lovers protect bears, not the fellows people. Perverts! They must be put in cage with a bear alone, just to learn some lesson and gain some necessary experience from the "mother" nature.

  • Ya know, FUCK those trails..CLOSE them DOWN...FOREVER. It's BAD ENOUGH that these animals have very little space LEFT in relationship to what they ONCE HAD.

    STAY OUT OF THESE BEARS HABITAT. CLOSE DOWN THESE TRAILS. FOREVER. Period.

  • If you seen a huge bear with its cubs, why the hell continue walking towards it anyway!? anyone retarded enough to do that deserves to get mauled.

  • When you see a bear with cubs, turn and walk the other way. Not really too difficult.

  • Yum Human, Tastes like sweet pork.

  • BEARS ARE HUMAN TOO - CAN'T WE JUST ALL GET ALONG - I FEEL THE BEAR CAN BE RE-HE-BILLY-TATED - LET'S NOT HATE BROTHER BEAR - LET'S EMBRACE HIM AND TURN HIM LOOSE IN A GHETTO SOME-WHERE, OR PERHAPS TURN HIM LOOSE AT A KKK RALLY, OR BETTER YET, TURN THAT BIG BASTARDS LOOSE ON CAPITOL HILL!

    SORRY THE GUY GOT KILLED, TRULY, SO NO SHITTY REPLIES TO MY GREAT COMMENT ABOVE, I'LL TURN A HORNY BEAR LOOSE ON YO ASS!

  • @jehovahuponyou *So this is how someone with all the Jesus talk on his home page speaks?Sounds as two faced as the religion you quote.The Vatican has has more people killed in his holy name than WWI & WWII.A bear is an Animal,it is not human.Your comments are moronic.

  • @billy1212ist

    YES.

    YOU HAVE A HARD TIME NOTEINGONE FACE.

    YOU WERE RAPED BY THE POPE.

    TELL THE BEARS THEY AREN'T HUMAN, THEY ARE.

    YOU MUST BE A MORMOMN.

    PS - FUCK YOU, YOU HUMORLESS TWIT!

  • @billy1212ist - - - CONT''D TO bitchie1212ist,

    DID I MENTION, FUCK YOU, OH YES I SEE I DID, BUT IT NEVER HURTS TO TELL A MORMON LIKE YOU TWICE.

    HEY, SUXTARD, WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY FIRST POST - IT WAS RATHER HUMOROUS - OH, THAT'S RIGHT, THE POPE BROKE YOUR FUNNY BONE WHEN HE WAS PUMPING YOU FULL OF RELIGION.

    I HATE REPEATING MYSELF, BUT FUCK YOU, THERE, THAT IS SOME REAL RELIGIOUS TALK FER YA!

  • @jehovahuponyou ....holy shit, calm down...

  • @TheQuibert - I AM CALM - YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN - OR DO YOU WANT TO BITCH ABOUT THE POPE MOE-LESS-TING YOU ALSO - DAMN, THE POPE MUST HAVE A HELLUVA SEX DRIVE!

  • @jehovahuponyou I LIKE APPLES!!! What kind of fruit do YOU like??? Huh? Huhhh?? That's what I THOUGHT!!

  • @TheQuibert - FRUITY? YES, JUST AS I THOUGHT - BUT BEFORE WE DISCUSS FRUIT, YOU NEED A XANAX CAKE TO CALM DOWN.

  • @jehovahuponyou * I do not believe in any organised religion,your talk is foolish,full of anger and stupidity.And you "Humor"isn't.These capital letters that you use,are screaming? Or a tremendous need to be seen,noticed,and heard,insecure are you?Why? Is it that you have a very small dick?Or that you are ugly?Or inside,.. really unhappy because you really don't like yourself,because you really want to suck a dick,again,like you did that one time Go ahead suck one,we won't mind enjoy yourself.

  • @billy1212ist - DEAR BITCHY, YOUR TIME OF THE MONTH I SEE - SAY, HAVE YOU ALWAYS HAD AN ISSUE WITH ANGER?

  • @jehovahuponyou *To the one with the"odometer",in his rectum.When I was young I did,I'm 5'5'' with very big arms.Came in #1,at 15years old, in a NYC city wide pull-up,and push-up contest,two years in a row,beat the same little muscle bound spic (Rican).I would come late,see how many he did and do one more.See I out-thunk him.Second year I did 38 pull-up,NOT chin-ups,had to go all the way down extended arm.And 120 push-ups in a row,all the way up,and down,so your 1 inch even with the floor.I won.

  • @billy1212ist - DEAR BITCHY, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT - DO WE NEED TO CALL YOUR SHRINK?

    PS - THUNKING AIN'T YO THANG - HERE, HAVE A BEER, KICK BACK, BEFORE YOU HAVE A HR=EART ATTACK.

  • @jehovahuponyou * I think I thunk it,prior to having thought it.I am no longer an angry person,14 years with a shrink,and all gone.When I was 10 years old a big man grabbed me in the park,and raped me in my ass.He was pushing my face in the dirt and I could not breath,dirt and pebbles I my mouth.Every big bully I beat up was him,2or 3 a day for 3 years,by then I got it out of my system,I thought.By 22 I was not happy so I went to a shrink,and said,"My brain needs a bandade." she fixed me.CHAO

  • @billy1212ist - YOU, SIR, HAVE HAD A HARD LIFE - BUT IF YOU SELL YOUR STORY AS MOVIE RIGHTS, YOU SIR, WILL BE RICH - ROFL!

    I ONCE WENT TO GET A BANDADE ON MY BRAIN, THE DOCTOR TOLD ME: "WE HAVE BAD NEWS AND GOOD NEWS, FIRST, YOU HAVE NO BRAIN, SECOND, YOU CAN RENT YOUR HEAD OUT AS A HAMPSTER CAGE.". I FIRED THE DOCTOR AND PUT AN AD IN THE PAPER ABOUT THE HAMPSTER THING - ROFL!

    SEE, YOU DO HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR - BRAVO!

    WHAT IS "CHAO"?

  • @jehovahuponyou * 1)-- CHAO means bye,goodbye informally in Spanish.In Italian it's spelled CIAO,also meaning bye,goodbye,.. and hello, I think.Both being romance languages, have a Latin base.Pronounced ' CHOW '.."Anger"- I also have a crippled left leg,knee.I was operated on at 2 & 5 years old,was not supposed to walk,but I DID.The kids in school,would call me,peg leg,cripple,crip,they would beat me up,or spit on me,once they put me in a garbage can upside down,and rolled it down a hill..

  • @billy1212ist - FOR A POOR CRIPPLED, FUCKED UP GUY, YOU ARE A WEALTH OF INFORMATION!

    ROFL!

    :^)

    THE CHAO STUFF WAS PRETTY COOL, HERE IS A CHOCTAW (NATIVE AMERICAN, INDIAN, RED-SKIN, SAVAGE, LOL) WORD FOR YA - "HIALETO" (HI-AY-LEE-TOE), MEANS, 'HELLO' - I FEEL RATHER MULTI-LIGUAL FOR KNOWING THAT - ROFL!

    PLEASE AVOID CARBAGE CANS AND TALL HILLS - YOU HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR - IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO LOSE YOU!

    PS - I AM DEAF IN ONE EYE.

  • @jehovahuponyou * 2)-- On Sunday after 9-o-clock Mass,they would decide how to kill me.Get a clothes line rope and take me over to Central Park to hang me.I was told to ask for mercy,I did.John Stack would say hey show him mercy,lets just bury him alive,or throw him in the East River,tie his hands and feet,naa to far to walk,have a vote hang,drowned,or bury.they would have the noose around my neck,hands,feet,tied,standing on a box then decide to let me live another week.I was really scared.

  • @billy1212ist - LMAO! THAT WAS GREAT!

    HEY, I BET JOHN STACK GREW UP TO BE A COP! ROFL!

    HMMM, I JUST HAD AN IDEA, YOU AREN'T 'KENNY' FROM SOUTH PARK ARE YA?

    :^)

  • @jehovahuponyou * I Never watched South Park,my son did.I'm a DOP,Simpsons kinda guy.Stack? Not a cop.In 2006 they had a St.Josephs School class reunion.Everyone was turning 60 yrs.My sister sent me photos,Stack looked good,most others fat,ROFL! means what?LOL ? LMAO ?My Dad died at 83 yrs.He was a wonderful father that taught me to play chess at 8 yrs.Museums etc.Broadway Musicals,Mozart ,Wagner,a brilliant man.BUT when he Drank,a mean prick,it's never knowing which would be home.Made me nuts.

  • @billy1212ist BART IS A BAD INFLUENCE ON PEOPLE, STAY CLEAR OF THE SIMPSONS - ROFL! ROFL = ROLLS ON FLOOR LAUGHING. BULLYS ALWAYS TRY TO STAY IN SHAPE, THAT IS WHY US OLD GUYS CARRY GUNS - ROFL! MY DAD DIED AT ABOUT THE SAME AGE, NEVER SAW HIM DRINK, I RECKON THAT IS BEST. YOU ARE NO MORE NUTS THAN ME, HMMM, PLEASE DON'T MISS YOUR MEDS - ROFL!

  • @jehovahuponyou *3)-- By the 6th grade I started doing push-ups,before bed,and when I awoke,one more every day,I stayed at 100 for 2 months,then worked up to 125 then 145.I rode my bike every day.Now they "the tough guys,bullies" left me alone,and picked on the new boy,after 3 weeks I hung with him,and they left us alone.I Did Not forget.By the next year,I had big muscles,I took them 1 at a time,to Father Heide's gym in the basement,and I tied each one in knots they skurmed now I was the KING.

  • @billy1212ist - BULLYS ONLY UNDERSTAND TWO THINGS, MUSCLE AND/OR GUNS! THE KING? THE REAL KING? THE HONEST TO JOLLY KING? I KNEW YOU WASN'T DEAD, ELVIS! ROFL!

  • @jehovahuponyou *My moms side full Sicilian,Keep your friends close,but your enemies closer.Three friends and I,met this pushy bully in a bar,about 6'3'' tall, 250 pounds.He just got out of jail,that day.So we were respectful,and bought him double Scotches,we knew the bar maid,so 'ours' were "tea",she did not like him either.Boy could that guy drink,22 doubles later,we went out side,sat on the curb,he faded out.My friends got their truck and ran over both of his feet,...twice.He moved away.

  • @jehovahuponyou*We acted scared of this other bully years later,gave him respect he demanded.We waited 7months till his birthday Said we wanted to"Honor"him with a party.He wanted a chocolate cake,"I'll make it"I said,and did.Two tiers18"x12"cake.I melted the choc.frosting.First I cut out"HIS"corner piece & frosted the cake.Then I melted a LargeEXLAX bar in"HIS"frosting,and frosted"HIS"piece,placed it back in the cake,and marked it with"HIS"name.Saw HIM 4 days later,skinny&white the FLU,he said.

  • @billy1212ist - SHITTING ONE'S SELF TO DEATH CAN BE FATAL, TAKE CARE WITH SUCH PRANKS.

    ROFL!

  • @jehovahuponyou *4)-- My anger went with me into the street of NYC.That was school,after which at home,my very successful father,and mother drank and Hated each other,dinner time,"round one" the fight starts,with sneers,death looks,than screaming,then he would punch her out.I would attack him,he would bat me away,everyone got it,for years.At 15,I had a 18 inch neck,he came and put the tip of his burning cigarette near my eye,I grabbed his neck & belt and threw him 14 feet,airborn,6 ft.off floor.

  • @jehovahuponyou 5)When my mother died at 55yrs.My aunt told me the truth.You did not fall out of the crib,and cripple yourself.Your drunk father threw you10 feet off the wall into your crib,before you could walkHe did it to you.When asked he denied it,but knowing how he got when drunk.He did it.That crippled leg kept me out of Vietnam,where I would have got The Medal of Honor,or been killedSo it probably saved my life.Later,my dad and I were great friends,said he did not know how to be a father.

  • @billy1212ist - SEEMS LIKE A HARD UP-BRINGING YOU HAD! SORRY TO HEAR OF SUCH BAD TIMES, BUT GLAD TO HEAR YOU AND YOUR FATHER BECAME FRIENDS!

  • @jehovahuponyou WE would shoot Bar Pool,all over,either of us could run the table.We would hustle people.My old mans mouth got him a pool stick over the head,crushed his hat,he went down on one knee.Using my stick,I moved all the balls to a corner of the table,then I"FAST BALLED"them into the fleeing"tough guys",off a skull into a face into a skull again.SHIN balls also were good,and the old middle of the back shot aaah,was heard allot mirrors went,whiskey bottles went,they all ran,we got barred

  • @billy1212ist - YES, MANY 'TRICK SHOTS' HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM POOL ROOMS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO CAN HIT A MOVING THUG!

    ROFL!

  • It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature!

  • According to the pictures, there were cubs near the bear. She was just doing what was necessary to protect her cubs.

    9 times out of 10 attacks are the result of some stupid human behavior. Seeing the bear meant they were too close. They should have immediately gone back that way they came.

    Still it is very sad.

  • DAMN NATURE! YOU SCARY!!

  • @hiimthedevil13 *Man RULES on the earth.The stupid die.If you are going where there are bears,LEARN about them first,what NOT to do etc.Also,a loud compresses air boat horn,a Gun,gas bombs,something to protect yourself,is a MUST,if you are foolish enough to go into THEIR TURF.

  • Humans.. treading once more into someone elses back yard then bitching when the get wasted. (that was a two for, hint... a middle east cut)

  • naturally...nature kills.....

  • i was there 2 weeks before that happened....

  • yeah lemme X off Yellowstone on my bucket list

  • Of course it turns deadly because people are too stupid to know how to behave when they see a bear. I've been in the same situation before with bear cubs. You don't go towards them. You back away. And you certainly don't panic because bears can sense that. Its unfortunate that people don't understand wild animals. If they did these tragedies wouldn't happen.

  • mental note, if I see a bear with cubs,do not keep walking toward it, slowly back away at a 45 degree angle facing the bear, also bring bear spray

    and 44 magnum pistol as back up :}

  • @jimbob2077

    The magnum might not even kill it. It may just piss it off more. Bears are tough.

  • @1974Mysterious That's why you gotta make sure you get a good shot. Aim for the heart hopefully it'll pass out from blood loss, cause I've heard a head shot can be ineffective.

  • It's a tragic reminder that one of the country's most beautiful landscapes is still very wild... Isn't this place supposed to be wild?

  • @RikBouwmeester Yeah that was a stupid comment from them. Its entire existence is as a designated wildlife refuge.

  • Had he only made it to 58 years old, I'm sure he'd have known better...

  • @JaleelJohanson62

    Is that suppose to be a joke?

  • @lekaslex Is your question supposed to be rhetorical?

  • @JaleelJohanson62

    If you knew someone that was tragically killed I'm sure you wouldn't think it is right for others to crack jokes about it no?

  • @lekaslex No, you're wrong. I'm able to seperate jokes for the sake of jokes vs. making fun of tragedies. People like Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, and David Letterman make livings doing this. When people do stupid things like put themselves in harms way without taking essential equipment like firearms like our forefathers knew to do and get themselves killed, it's fodder for jokes. If it shocks one person back to reality, it's worth it.....

  • @JaleelJohanson62

    I am just stating my opinion here because that is what youtube is for right? I think when it comes to death it is not a joking matter. Was it a bit foolish what this man did? Yes, it cost him his life but to joke about is a terrible thing. Out of respect for his family and the dead just don't say anything.

  • @lekaslex You are precisely correct. I am stating my opinion here because that's how the poster of this video has formated the comments section. Ron White makes fun of the grizzly guy who got eaten by grizzlies on national TV in his stand up routine. My audience will never be as wide as his, but I do the best I can. You live by your own moral compass. Don't expect others to live by your compass.... it's only going to be a source of frustration for you when they tell you to fuck off....

  • @lekaslex *Why do people "respect" the dead ? They are dead,so it is not for them,it is for their relatives ? This man was moronic,hence dead,doesn't everyone know,DON'T GO near a bear with cubs? Obviously not.TO YOU it is not a joking matter.People in the death camps of WWII,In Poland all joked about death,it's the only way they could live with it.Some People also believe humans are made of atoms,and the universe is all made of atoms,so we are one.The atoms of his body,turn into atoms of smoke.

  • @billy1212ist

    I see your point Billy but you are missing mine. God for bid you lose a loved one and you have people joking about it how would that make you feel? That is just what I don't like people cracking jokes at the expense of someone's death. How do you think this guy's family feels if they stumble upon this video?

  • @lekaslex * I have,..mother,father,aunt Josephine,uncle Salvatore,Grandmother and father,friends in NAM etc.You are Correct in this instance.Stumble upon,I doubt it.They were notified,signed,and paid for this video.Jokes from strangers,Not Good at all.My sister and I did not speak for years,why?My Mother hated funerals,allot of phonies come.When I'm dead she said,promise me,I want to be sitting in a chair in a Red Dress,with shades on,giving everyone the finger.My sister wouldn't do it.I would.

  • fuck bears

  • @Interstate08

    Why say that man? The bears are only a threat when people are too stupid to know what to do when they see them. They are wild animals just like tigers. They are best when left alone. Almost all of these incidents happen when people do something stupid. These idiots got closer to the animal instead of using their brains and going the other way. The bear is only doing what it knows and that is self defense.

  • @1974Mysterious I see what you are saying. My view on it though is that if some animal is going to try to take my head off for idly walking in it's vicinity, then that creature can go extinct for all I care. I'm not saying I want the entire grizzly bear species actively killed off, just saying if it was I wouldn't shed a tear.

  • What a pair of KNOBHEADS !

  • Wild is the only place in the world where if you are stupid, you pay

  • The bears will sort out the dumb ones.

  • @Twostones00

    Yes they do that really well. Better then us humans in fact.

  • I was in Yellowstone when this happened. It is there fault if you see a momma and a baby bear you leave.

  • @2000dancingbears I mean its the people"s fault.

  • killer grizzly?! more like retarded people wont leave a MOTHER bear alone.

  • i thought he would say mother fucker in stead of mother grizzly bear

  • Then why are they at their area in the first place? It is belongs to Grizzly Bears' land then get out of their land.

  • Timber stacked camp houses and they chose tents. You do the math.

  • "they saw a bear with cubs at a distance but they continue walking " ? oh my God ... the park officials did not tell those stupid rednecks that if they encounter a mama bear with cubs to retreat the fuck off ? what the fuck that moron-husband want ? to wrestle with the bear with cubs as referee ?

  • dump fu k

  • i like this story cuz the mama didn't die ;D and those hikers are kind total retarteds

  • they shoulda been malled and killed, you see a mama with babies you bounce the fuck out you dont just kepp on cruzing lmao

  • I love watching people get fucked up by nature its so fun i fucking hate people die cock suckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jajajajaja!!!!!!

  • lol, i like how the computer illustration depicts the woman with having nice tits. 0:31

  • burn them burn them all

  • Lots of experts seem to be right here on youtube . Yellowstone still belongs to the wildlife that has lived there for centuries . If your scared , stay on the couch , if you are not scared I'll see you there next July .

  • Those people are so stupid. "Oh look, a cub with a mother who's extremely protective of their children, lets walk to take a closer look!"

  • @planetary109 you have no idea what happened , so behave .

  • @blackrifle556 but he has a point, bears are solitary animal. however if there is children they protect and attack.

  • How about not hiking where bears are.

    

  • If you see a mother bear with cubs DO NOT continue walking toward them !!! Stop immediately, stand quietly, and move away as soon as possible. Then notify the rangers when and where the sow and cubs were seen on the trail. Never put any pressure on a mother grizzly because she will defend her cubs! So sorry to hear about the fatality. I'm sure the couple never intended to cause any harm to the bear. Unfortunately, the bears do not know this and will respond accordingly.

  • It's tasted human blood.....Dun Dun Dunnnnn!

  • bear win

  • wow, yeah poor guy, who cares about the guy right, he was just somebody inviding a bear habitat or comfort zone right? but who is more important, human or bear? I would still capture that thing and kill it. I would love to have that scenario and that bear have killed your child or love one too, how would you feel? -oh wait!, since its just words anybody and contractic me right?- at the end, who is inviding who? is the same earth anyway different location...

  • @Th0ukos ill be playing the new star wars bro

  • @Th0ukos ok have fun in your kung fu panda mmo

  • @Th0ukos lul... im not trolling and you brought it up. you know that wow was bought by disney and is now world of kung fu panda so suck it

  • @Th0ukos yea.... like the art style and the village and EVERY FUCKING THING isnt copied from kung fu panda... right.

  • @Th0ukos you mean from that game world of kung fu panda?

  • You know that if you are walking and see a Grizzly sow with cubs - you best get the fuck outta there... because that's one of the most dangerous animals on earth.

  • @redbrickbluesky Humans are the dominant species of this fucking planet, KILL ALL BEARS!

  • @WhiteWolf56765 the dominant species on earth are bakteria

  • @redbrickbluesky I laugh at out loud at people like you. You a person whose probably never been a life threatening situation, is shitting on the graves of the dead. Shame on you.

  • @redbrickbluesky Are you retarded?

  • we need less stupid people entering bear/wolf territory

  • we need less stupid people entering bear/wolf territory

  • Well, Wapiti do. ( <---- SWIDT?!)

  • 0:32 shows big boobies on the woman

  • To many bears in the yellowstone ecosystem for the amount of habitat available. With the wolves destroying the elk population, bears have lost another food source to boot......

  • @highcountryhal Bears dont eat elk other than newborn calves for the most part. There are not too many bears, either. People have run bears down to small numbers in many other places and the natural,healthy,undisturbed ecosystem Yellowstone has is what the habitats should be. The balance between nature gives ups and downs in species numbers. The wolves overhunt, the elk go down, elk go down, wolves go down, wolves go up, and the natural cycle continues.

  • @MrFloppywaffles Sorry, but I just don't buy it. We have not had wolves in yellowstone for 100 years. There are enough Bison to sustain a large number of wolves, even just from old bison dying, and this may keep the wolf population large while the elk population dwindles. Less than 4,000 now, from upwards of 15,000. Moose are just about nonexistant in the park now.

  • @highcountryhal Problem is, bison weigh upwards of a ton and elk weigh less than 500. The wolves will pick elk over bison anyday. And no, there are not enough bison for the wolves. Nonexistant elk? Wolves dont really get away with animals like moose alot of times. You have to remember, there are also mountain lions in the elk population equation. The populations right now are the most natural for this type of habitat in North America. These popluations are the natural way things go.

  • @MrFloppywaffles You missed the point. The wolf population will stay high because of the bison. The elk population will dwindle because of this. You want to believe in the "natural way". Perhaps 200 years ago there were few elk in the mountains (read Lewis and Clark Journals of the early 1800s). This could have been caused by the wolf predation at the time. I personally don't want to go back to the days of no ungulates in the woods. If "natural" is no animals, we should delete that model.

  • @highcountryhal No wolves could result in the elk overeating the grass and starving. Unlikely in such a large place, but that it what could happen,

  • @MrFloppywaffles To many wolves have result in the extinction of moose in the yellowstone ecosystem. Only 114 left in 2010 compared to 1200 in 1995. They are close to extinct now due to wolf predation. Elk numbers keep dropping......

  • @highcountryhal Amen brother, lets kill some of those wolves and balance things back out! Elk and Moose will thanks us.

  • @OdinX316 Sure, then they will all destroy their own habitat because no one is there to regulate their population and they will eat as long and as much as they can... dumbass

  • @MrFloppywaffles Guess again. The buffalo population may keep the wolf population up higher than if they just subsisted on elk. That may mean the end of the elk. Your "natural cycle" solution is not so natural if that occurs.

  • @highcountryhal Right..... Wolves haven't even come close to destroying the elk population! What has happened is a nominal reduction in the herd size of elk which has allowed the willows to grow before they are chewed to bits by the elk. This in turn has started to attract more beaver, and subsequently more moose in Yellowstone. I think the only animal capable of causing extinction is the human one.

  • @mefford67 Less than 4,000 elk left with an average age of over 8 years old. Less than 10% of the calves make it to one year of age. Oh, its gonna drop alot further.....Nice angle on the human extinction thingy....keep in mind there are 10s of thousands of wolves in canada and alaska.

  • Did you see the end of the video.............

    Yellow stone won't bother finding the bear to kill it....that's like they are saying...."eh screw you, you were dumb enough to go in there, too bad"

    the only loss is that guy from life and his family losing him..Yellow stone don't care.

  • @79Testo What? The sow was defending her cubs. You are almost sure to avoid a bear attack if you listen to the rangers, make lots of noise while hiking, and do not run from a bear. They are wild animals and it is not the bear's fault that this man was killed.

  • bear 1 - human 0.

  • I hate to judge but I'm betting they were liberal and ignorant. Once again sorry for her loss and I hate to judge...

  • This is crazy, how can u hike in a Wildlife Park where bears are roaming free???

    That shouldn't be allowed, this is insane.

  • @carel7771 Dude, I really hope that's sarcasm...?....

  • why?

  • @carel7771

    Because it's a WILDlife park....which means there are WILD animals...

    Hiking in wildlife parks without animals is impossible...where do you want them to go? We are taking enough of their homes as it is...

  • Sounds like suicide to me. They see a mama bear with cubs and they don't get the @!$# out of dodge?! They were asking for it. However, I'd still like to express my condolences to surviving loved ones. Sorry for your loss.

  • Did you know that in the last 10 years 37 hikers were killed by bears.. Now I could be wrong about this,but I this is why Bears are called Wild Animals

  • ONLY IDIOT WILL GO INTO FOREST WITH WILD ANIMALS

    R.I.P.

  • i spelled it wrong :)

  • Thats what we call Pre emtive attack.

  • 1:03 geez...im glad stoners are allowed in the police force xD

  • Seeing a bear with cubs and keep hanging around? Hmm..!

  • Darwin Award. Seriously, you approach a mother grizzly with cubs?

  • Comment removed

  • god dammit white people how many times i have to tell you investigator..when you see a killer or crazy animal you fuck run as fast as you can..but still you fucker go and investigated and get your ass kill...

  • Why couldn't you have just GIVEN HIM THE PICNIC BASTARD!!!!

  • really they're not going after it, isn't it the law that you put down any animal that kills a human?

  • @iknowmy3table no thats stupid why would that even be a law fucktard its called life

  • @cussingbatman the law requires dogs that "murder" a person to be put down and most mountain lions and predators that attack humans usually get hunted down by law enforcement

  • @iknowmy3table thats stupid would a human be put down if it kills a dog

  • @cussingbatman No, you throw the human in jail to teach him/her a lesson. You can't do that with animals, and once it kills a human, it has been conditioned to do so again in the future. Just sayin'.

  • Yogi Bear why?!?!?!?!?!

  • is that yogi bear?

  • The bear was captured and killed months later when it attacked a second person in Yellowstone and her cubs were sent to the Wolf and Grizzly Discovery center in West Yellowstone.

  • I feel sorry for the person who got killed, and their family/friends, because it would be heartless not to, but I'm very glad the bear wasn't killed.

  • since when has a grizzly bear not expressed a natural behavior. theyre wild animals, everything they do is natural, no matter how brutal.

  • That officer who picked up the phone sounds like a rapist.

  • i like when animals keep humans in check. fuck some people are stupid...see bear with cubs=back away slowly. dont continue walking toward them!

  • see cubs run!
