  • If this genius gets eaten, do we all have to feel sorry for him and say; Oh, what a tragedy?

  • What do all these arguements about religion have to do with the film?

    Psalm 36:6 says God cares for people and animals alike :)

  • the end was cut off and it ended with a comercial.

  • Interesting

  • anyone that believes in a god is an idiot cause obviously he didnt make shit would he let u suffer and let children die while men get rich of poor UMMM nope we made this society and we use religon to control ppl and it works there are millions of christians and they all follow the rules nd laws while the POPE(old fart) gets ur money THANKS HAVE A NICE DAY i hope ppl realize we were put on this planet and not created or evolved ..get real things r to perfect for them to be RANDOM .BYEEEEEEEEEEEe

  • i dont have anything against you. but you claim that anyone who believes in god is an idiot. i hav 1 question. how did you come to be on earth?????

  • I guess I'm an IDIOT.

  • naaaaaaaah. i waz jus askin. no harm done.

  • i guess im an idiot, too

  • i hope you change your ways or you will be burning in hell

  • dont push your false, non- fact , magic fairytale ideas on normal socity ok? nobody believes in that junk anymore, if you do, you cant accept the fact that when you die you just rot in a box, or maybe you get creamated and have your ashes spread amoung the sea, either way, nothing happens. listen to fact, science, and normal socity, stop being fucking weird, you really think that your gunna float up in the air and live a fairytale land forever and ever? Ihave to tell you, seek help, please....

  • Hey eLLriDe420 < what if your wrong?

  • Comment removed

  • and yes i am and idiot in ur eyes.if u rather listen to other men theories when man has proven countless times they make so many mistakes and scince keeps changing wat they thought they knew..good luck to u

  • haha, always this debate well all I have to say is that if you where so intelligent it takes willingness to try and understand the two sides of the coin otherwise flaws will occur. Also we are animals that have something far better then the others that is a thumb. Yes you can say apes have thumbs but we where to ones that got lucky enough to have free time to draw/paint which eventually became writing which has allowed use to remember things longer then other animals...

  • if you where to research this the oldest forms of written communication date back 10,000 years..yet the first appearance of human that is the scientific classification of Homo....which means human....dates more then 2 million years ago it took that long for humans to come you with writing...

  • well im a prodestant so the pope isnt stealing my money, but i guess im still an idiot

  • You have a spelling problem .. read a book you dumb fuck ..

  • u are right abut man useing religon to control cuase god did not create religon.The fact is the reason y man has to suffer today is becuase we turned on God by not listening to him..now we are lost becuz he has turned his back on us until we learn we cant raise again without him.

  • well i want to see him. if he is so great and wonderful, and millions live by the word of the bible and gods commanments, then why wouldnt he make an apperence once and a while? that seems a bit odd to me

  • Oh you will soon get your chance my friend! I'm not here to push religion down anybody's throat however it was you that stated that you want to meet him so that opens the door for my two cents! It says in the bible which you dont believe in that all shall see him when he returns every eye and every knee will bow and will confess him King of Kings and lord of lords that includes you my friend and me!

  • if that day comes, i will be a true believer.

  • whats sad is you imagined all of this and talk like its fact, people like you created religion moron

  • yes why shoot an animal?? They did nothing! Money has taken over this country. We don't need these huge houses, the animals need the forest and it's man's fault that these animals are in our backyards. they have nowhere to go. It's not the animals trespassing on our property, its us on their habitat!! people are destroying forests!! Just think about that! People are idiots and most don't care about the animals, they just want their damn money.

  • omfg takes so long to load

  • hahahahahahah crap computer

  • when i head 1man and a female black bear i kinda got scared.

  • Crazy sob lol

  • Its sad he got owned by science

  • God IS flawed.

  • im sorry you feel that way.

    i dont think the apostles would die for a flawed God.

  • HOW IS GOD FLAWED?

  • God was created by man, and sense man is flawed, man's "God" is flawed.....hehehehe....just thought I'd shake the bee's nest a little :)

  • did you mean "since" man is flawed?

    How can you even venture into the statement "God was created by man, when apparently you don't have the cognitive ability to distinguish between "since" and "sense".

  • Wish the tail end of this program wasn't cut off.

  • gets stuck half way, when your starting to get into it.

  • WTFFF

  • The first to try it though, still lives with them. They live in his backyard. Lookup, "Bart the bear" story. It's a 700 lb grizzly

  • nice intresting

  • "Yes indeed... very interesting."

  • Dont waste your time because about 20 minutes into the movie it hangs up on an amway commercial and it wont restart. I couldnt finish watching

  • YEAH but thats cuz your running microsoft. worked fine for me

  • LOL JUST REFRESH IT AND SKIP IT THERE

  • That wasnt working. However I did go back later and it loaded correctly after watching two commercials

  • do bears get cubs while there hibernating????

  • this is very inspiring, and a wonderful documentary, i enjoy it very much THANK YOU! is there any other part?

  • I wasn't being sarcastic to or supportive of JCRules. I simply had no recollection of any type of scripture that tells us to hunt and kill bears. I didn't think such scripture existed; but, I wasn't sure. That's why I asked for the verse. I've lived in Alaska and visited Brooks Camp in Katmai. When you see brown bears in the wild, you doubt statements like the one JCRules made. But, I'm not a Biblical expert. That's why I asked the question.

  • jcrulesyou, rwalden2007 and chicabud you are all both right and wrong in genesis 9:3 it says that every moving animal that is alive may serve as food but this dosn't mean to go out and kill things just to kill it

  • so does a bear raised by humans recognizes itself in the mirror?

  • jenbecht3, that was not this man, it was self-professed bear activist Timothy Treadwell who, with his girlfriend, was mauled to death.

  • JCRulesYou, you are wrong. JCrulesYOU and rwalden2007, Genesis 1:28 says:

    God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

    To interpret that that we should kill bear for food or anything like that is ludicrous. You might want to speak to a teaching pastor. I'm concerned about what else you might be misinterpreting.

  • i really enjoyed this video and thought it was a worth watching 45 minutes

  • the Bible says we need to hunt and kill bears for food. Bears are dangerous and they need to be hunted down for the safety of our children.

  • so? we are dangerous to them so they kill us when they need to but we kill them as a sport

  • Where's does the Bible say that? Can you cite a chapter and verse?

  • Dude is 2009 not year One!!!

  • actually, in the Bible in 2 Kings 2:23-25, God sent 2 bears to kill 42 kids for mocking Elijah. So dont try to quote scripture when u dont know it.

  • hahaha "god"

  • who the fuck r u?

  • i am god,

  • hahaha "god" right?

  • I really hope this is a joke, because if not, you sound like a total ass.

  • Ben was killed by a wild Grizzly shortly after this documentary was filmed. RIP BEN, YOU ARE MY HERO!!!

  • TOMIN IS GAY

  • I think Ben is doing great work. I'd love to hear a follow-up on this. Must agree that this was a well spent 45 minutes.

  • ...

  • he is insane.

  • That was pretty cool, but I must admit he looked like a fool when he was kneeling on the ground eating plants. Other than that it was quite interesting and an overall well spent 45 minutes.

  • Thank you for the video I really liked it :)

  • ok they are only black bears, probably weigh around 180 pounds... still nothing to be playing with. i came within 15 feet off a black bear one night while i was hiking. I'm pretty experienced in the wilderness, i know a bear generally wont attack you unless your near their cubs, it was no where near cub season but i still pulled out my knife. we both watched each other for about 5 minutes then it snorted and walked off in the other direction.. it was pretty amazing.

  • lol. only 180 pounds? that's one small ass bear.

  • dosn't mean they wont mess your day up.

  • lol you pulled out your knife and then what? the bear steps forward and you play dead lol.

  • lol that probably would have been the smart thing to do but i was thinking more along the lines of "well i know its a black bear, it may kill me but I'm going to leave it with one huge scar". i acctualy never thought about playing dead... i know thats what your supposed to do if like a grizzly attacks you. Black bears are just so much smaller than other bears i have come across that i honestly thought if it comes down to it maybe i can take him.

  • Yeah, they really don't look so intimidating. lol.

  • this is so freaking gay

  • Curious what his opinion of Grizzly Man is

  • Grizzly Man was an idiot, passionate yes, but still a moron. You don't swim with sharks and not expect to get bit, you have to respect wild animals and not expect to be accepted into a herd. He was also a hack, and lied about a lot of things, particularly about being alone out there, even though we later find out he had a female companion, who also died. A good heart, maybe, and good intentions, but still moronic. Stick your hand in a bee hive, expect to be stung.

  • i gotta agree, he was a little looney, which did make him kinda a moron. it is really too bad that he died, but i gotta agree with the stick your hand in a bee hive and expect to get stung. still though, very good intentions. in the vids that grizzly man made, he related several times to one big grumpy old bear, so the rangers figure that's the bear that did it. so of course they shot it....i thought that was over the line personally.

  • i don't consider that over the line due to the fact they found the body parts of timothy and his girlfriend inside the bear.

  • did they say this? i would have assumed the time it took for them to go through the footage, figure which bear it was, track down the bear and shoot it, any body parts would hae been digested. And if you are living openly with a carnivore at the top of the foodchain in the wild, with no defense, i dont see why they couldn't be considered fair game.

  • Absolutely! Why shoot an animal for being what it is? I mean really, it's the same logic as kicking a chair because you bumped into it. It's your damn fault for walking into it to begin with. If you get too close to a bear and it kills you, it's not because the bear is evil, it's because it's a predatory animal, and we, well we are PREY!! It bothers me when we blamed nature for our own stupidity...

  • we are dominate not the animals so we can do as we please alright i understand its the animals habitat but fuck it i mean if i kill a bear tomorow it wont affect u in any way so fuck it everyones eventually gonna die

  • O_O why is this a related video to Conan's bud light commercial where he says "Vroom Vroom party starter"?

  • wow, no way I would do that...

  • Great video!

  • this just cuts off with no part 2? what gives...

  • I love national geographic videos.

  • This video was very enlightening. It seems like very few people have great insight into the social behavior of the black bear. I hope this guy can prove for what he is looking. Not many people have the mentality or drive to do the things that he does. We can only hope that the science community could be more open-minded.

  • Go to my page and watch crazy video. nothing like it on youtube.

  • With regards to the mirror test- did anyone take into account self awareness was proven? Not because of the dot on her forehead, but the fact that her cubs were right there in the reflection along with the "other bear" and Squirty didn't charge at the "other bear".

    Sometimes the results we are looking for are not the only ones that prove or disprove our theories.

  • WOW! this is amazin ppl shud listen to him more often!

  • sucks

  • spearo i live in northeastern NC(c-tuck) and every black bear i have seen has been the regular size.....not huge

  • How could the scientific community not realize that this guy's on to something? They seem to be dead set that they're right, and anything else is just ridiculous.

    And what's with the bear hate? Seriously, unless you are immediately related to a bear victim, then what the crap? Bears are less likely to attack than pit bulls

  • Wow. I kno a girl who was attacked by a pitbul i trust bears more than pitbuls! lol i totally agree with u!

  • They are not saying that his work is worthless--they are simply suggesting that he conform to truly scientific methods before calling his work scientific. For example, he could try observing a larger sample size and also try to observe control groups (those with whom he's never interacted previously).

  • I agree ScientificKnowledge.

  • we dont have as many bears here in northeastern North Carolina but they are a lot bigger (still black bears though)

  • Why don't you do us all a favor and kill yourself. It is obvious that Squirty has more intelligence than you...

  • id kill you and squirty and feed your head to my dogs and burn squirtys dead body

  • i'd havta pass on a bear with a collar but without the color its game on...shes clearly full grown just not a big bear, now that male she bred with would make a fine rug, gorgeous coat and big square head

  • Grizzly man.

    'Nuff said.

  • squirty is so cute :D

  • bvbv

  • What in the world will urge this retarded man to mess with wild animals haven't he heard about the other idiot that got chew up by a bear when are this idiots are going to learn that these are wild animals and you should leave them alone because you don't know when they are going to turn on you get it idiots o.k.

  • Nice grammar, your intelligence regarding the issue is really showing through. >.>

  • Few years from now he's gonna get mauled by this bear. Almost 100% sure of this

  • Oh my, this is so beautiful.

  • Chelonaphobia

  • Thats Why I dont have a pitbull or any other animal (Except Dogs :P) Not including aggressive ones....Pitbulls,Bears,ANYTHIN­G That is aggressive can turn back on you any time so i dont risk it :x

  • Hey it cut off :( I wanted to see more of what happens. Oh well it was good though.

  • lol

  • y is this screen super huge.......

  • 6:21 is scary

  • Once Ben introduced himself as a source for food, this study failed. I feel sorry for anybody that happens upon these bears in the wild. Hope they have some food, you can see what Squatties response is to Ben when Ben doesnt have food.

  • The impressive thing is that Ben managed to hand raise cubs AND manage to train them to live in the wild. It might turn out however, that a substantial proportion of the 55 or so cubs he raised moved to town and became garbage raiders. Ben and Squirty have a relationship all right--she puts up with him as long as he coughs up the swag. This sharing of food thing is delusion on Ben's part. Bears may let juniors share in a kill as long as they get theirs first.

  • he is gonna die with those bears on top on him

  • OOOh....out of context, but i used to make pizzas for the owners of Amway. I got a $30 tip before and it was a carryout order!!!

  • one word describes the relationship of man and bear. "bestiality"

  • Bears don't exist. It's a government conspiracy.

  • The government created bears.

  • I know what happened to the missing film. One bear shut off the camera while the other leaped from the box and swatted the food bag. Then the other bear turned the camera back on.

    Also, Squirty wasn't threatened by her reflection in the mirror because she could not smell another bear's scent.

  • That's it! And Bear #2 moved the box back to it's original position before Bear #1 switched the camera back on!

    You really can't tell if Squirty recognizes herself in the mirror. Of course she wouldn't assume it's another bear without they're being any scent.

  • Lame advertisments

  • A massive prank will be pulled on the famous web commedian Fred. As you know we have done the same thing on june 1st, but this is diffrent. This time the unsubscribing starts august 1st and goes on till september 1st. copy and paste to every video you know and/or see!
