Lily the Black Bear & Her Family - April 8, 2011

[harriethack]

This is one of the last videos of Jason, Faith and Hope with Lily. Jason passed only a few days after this. There may be one more video from 4/9/11

What is with the horrendous collar on momma bear? That's not right. If you want to study the bears do it naturally. In fact, just leave them alone!

[RustyRazor2010]

@2079423644 - Radio/GPS collars provide invaluable information to researchers. I'm not sure which one this particular bear is wearing in this video. The collars are not an impediment to the movement of the bears nor are they a safety risk. They are quite easily removed if the bear so chooses and they allow the bears to be "observed" w/o a human in the vicinity. There are links in the description that may provide more information. Cheers!

Just read on the news Hope is dead. Shot by a hunter. Very sad. :'(

[topperkat]

Hope is missing. I have come to feel that the bear reasearchers are all about money and who brings them lunch. I feel that they are fraudulent in there study of bears. They let her get killed most likely because they need the press and donations that come with it. They could have sprayed the bear with pink paint or something to identify her as a study bear. They let Sarah bear get shot last year. I am more than angry. If Hope turns up dead, her blood is on their stupidity.

In this video of Jason...looks like he is trembling hanging onto the tree and momma lily is watching over him knowing that he is not as strong to climb up the tree. (just my take on it)(DebColorado)

Wonderful to see these videos again this year. It scares me a little to be so "invested" in this bear family now that we have 4 of them to love and look out for. Stay safe, please!

[WalenTravel]

So so cute!



[mom4gram1]

oh my gosh!

[Benc7]

Thank you!!! The best video of the cubs yet! And we get to see the whole family so clearly!

[silentfades]

is it time for hope to go out on her own ?

[mycrazynan]

@silentfades Under normal circumstances Lily would come into season in 4 to 6 mths time & Hope would be on her own then. But as Lily has cubs to feed, she wont be breeding this year and Hope should get an extra year with the family & possibly den with them at the end of this year. Silent, I am no expert but I have learnt a lot about them & I decided to answer your question as I have noticed that NABC doesn't usually answer viewers here :)
