  • Veryyy Cute!!

  • given it was with an already fertilized female with no cubs

  • i have seen coastal Grizzlies bears mate in fall. Since implantation happens delayed in November, fertilization could happen...

  • Good teddy bear video.

  • great footage! beautiful! the cubs are really cute :)

  • Nice:)

  • Interesting footage...if the sound is off. The song was annoying as hell...'some folks' repeated a million times ad nauseam and then something about taking the bear to lunch. Yikes. What a way to spoil a neat video. Drop the song, please.

  • Beautiful animals.

  • haha why did you let your dog/cat run around the bears?

  • Eradicate. The only way to feel safe.

  • @litigator75  idiot.

  • @litigator75 Yes, eradicate-the humans who don't get it!!!

  • That was AWSOME!!!! Some wonderful footage!

  • Gus

    Bears have been observed in this manner in this region of Alaska for many years and bears have learned to trust and ignore humans, we carry handheld signal flares (never firearms), but in 11 years, and thousands of encouters, I have only had to use them 2 or 3 times- work well to scare the bears who approach us too closely and will not leave with clapping /shouting. If treated well and respected, bears are very easy to get along with, and in my view, they are predictable.

  • Thanks for the reply.

  • Great Vids! I spent a couple summers hiking Katmai & Kodiak; nothing like it!

    Enough Salmon running to keep the Big Bears busy LOL...

  • Excellent video! I have recently started hiking up in the Canadian Rockies and one of my biggest fears is running into one of these bears (Black or Grizzly) by accident. You mentioned hand hand held flares?? Would you recommend these over pepper spray?

  • Amazing footage, I wish the videographer did not get that close to the Bears. the only predators the Bears have is man. And since they are protected in the park there is no hunting. That leaves only illegal poachers. It serves the Bears no good to familiarize them with man. It allows the poachers an easy approach.

  • @GusCongemi

    Gus, you have a point, but the videographer never appreaches the bears that close, they appraoch us.

    There is no poaching in this region of the park, and hasnt been for many years. This is one of the few places on earth where bears and humans trust and respect each other. Bears here have the opportunity to capture the hearts of humans, and dispell the myths that they are naturally dangerous to man. Bears are dangerous when man makes mistakes.

  • Don't get me wrong this is great footage and I enjoyed viewing it. I didn't realize all the poaching was eliminated. A few questions. How is the Bear population controlled? Has there been any instances where the Boars have killed the cubs to breed the sows? Wild Bears and can be unpredictable, did you have a plan if one decided to attack?

  • @GusCongemi

    Great questions, This is Brad Josephs, the guide for the film crew. bears regulate their own populations very well as females will not bear cubs if they are not fat enough. Boars will, on rare occasions, kill cubs and younger bears when food is short and competition is high. It is extremely unlikely that boars kill cubs to breed the sows because it often happens in the late fall and usually by males who have not gotten fat stores, and breeding happens in the spring.

  • at 2:08 im like awe poor bird put it out of its misery but yeah pretty gutsy huh?

    i would love to try that althought i might go running screaming in the opposite direction!!!
