      The only concern is when he ends hibernation. They're very hungry and cranky (hangry?) then and can be dangerous. When I was kid in the rural mountains of British Columbia, we were all taught to be especially wary of bears in the springtime. But if she can get wildlife control to help with the bear at that point, I agree: leave him be for now.

    • @yenxion6516

They're most likely to get violent in two situations: when they're hungry after hibernation, and when a mama feels that her cubs are in danger.

  • @minoltaaraya
    @minoltaaraya Год назад +12

    I’m torn. As an animal lover (vegan) how could you not just want to keep that big sleepy face around?! But as someone who is very active outdoors, camping and hiking and such - this IS dangerous in a community. Black bears are very unlikely to initiate an attack on humans but that doesn’t mean someone won’t get hurt, they are not pets. If the bear thinks the tree is his, then it would stand to reason that he may act defensively if someone gets too close or they deem them as a threat and how close is too close in a residential area? They are incredibly intelligent and agile, can run faster than dogs (yes up and downhill) and can climb tress, also they are omnivores so it’s not all honey and berries. And if Mr. Black Bear decided to hibernate there, he could stay for months which would be fine unless someone woke him early, then he would not have the energy to make it through winter until more food and the frost is gone. So not best for him either. 🐻❤️

      @linecarobrodnik1074 Год назад +3

      The bear seems rather peaceful to me and the neighbours and houseowners don't seem to be too close for his taste, so it doesn't seem too difficult to just stay away far enough from the tree and the bear to avoid provocation. There is no need to get any closer to the tree the way I see it. And once the bear falls asleep he'll be even less of a threat. In spring he'll leave eventually. You have to be careful, yes, but I think the cohabitation is feasible.

    How cute🥰 but it's a wild animal that after hybernation will be hungry and small kids and pets might be in danger.

    If you don't want a bear to live in your tree, don't have a bear shaped hole in it. Duh.

    Hopefully nobody harms the bear. All it wants is just to hibernate. It be cool to have a bear as a pet. People can get pass a dog but who can a bear? 😅
