- A massive brown bear casually walking along a hiking path in Alaska’s Katmai National Park on July 14 stopped and turned around when faced with a park sign showing the kind of animal populating the park - bears.
In this video, taken by park visitor Cara Siciliano, the giant bear strolls past her tour group as her seaplane captain is overheard greeting the creature, saying, “Hey, big boy!”
Speaking to Storyful, Siciliano said that she was walking down a path in the park with her friends when the bear suddenly appeared behind them.
Siciliano said the captain, who has guided trips in the national park hundreds of times, said he had never witnessed anything like this before in his life.

He just had to make sure his face was still on the sign.
😂 Facts
😂😂😂
He's like, aight cool, I'm out of here.
You got it!😊
😅 😅
Bear: *looks at photo of himself*
"Still got it"
LMAO
👏👏
Your comment is really, really funny! Much love, much love.
No One Is Taking Me Off The Animal Of The Month List!!
😂😂😂
He turned around like "oh nah there's bears around here" 😂😂
That's what I say. 😅
If anyone's wondering why he didn't attack it's cause he was still full from the last tourists he had in the morning
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😅😅
He looks like he is used to getting treats from tourists. Check out that fat belly.
Lol, real reason.
Humans are not apart of Bear natural diet, so only and extremely hungry bear right before hibernation will try to eat a human. We are just the same an any other weird thing they usually wouldn't eat.
The bear was making sure his "employee of the month" picture was still on the board.
LMAO.
Yeah, he checked out his sign and approved and left satisfied.
💀
🤣🤣🤣
It really looked that way!
Man: "Hey big boy."
Bear: "Hey big sandwich".
Underrated comment
🤣
LMAO
Hey Poboy would be great
😂😂😂
Can't blame him. If my sandwich starts greeting me like "Hey human, hey big boy", I would rather walk away too.
That guy saying hey big boy over and over again is annoying as fu.. and he is probably shitting himself but tries to play cool, but making it much more obvious that he is a wus
😂 underrated comment...
I had to sit and imagine my ham and cheese sandwich sitting up next to my lemonade and saying " Hey big girl,.... heeyyy big girl"
All I picture was just a deer in the headlights look I'm giving at my now upright talking 🥪 ...
I started laughing 😂 thinking of all sorts of other foods I really wouldn't enjoy if they started talking... A lobster sitting on the edge of his cold saying to every human passing by " Hey human..... Hey there, big human... Hey there" 🤣
@@whitneyANDbunny😂😂
Made me laugh way too hard at midnight
😂😂😂
Man you can feel the immense power of that bear!!
Right! Imagine in person
Look how smart he was, he was lost, came looked at the map and headed off in the direction he wanted to go 👍🙌
Ok..
😂
This comment is so underrated it should have loads more likes 😂
He was getting his bearings
@@medb8882 Gordon Ramsay voice: GET OUT!
Bear sees the sign: "Don't go that way, there's bears over there."
That’s a legitimate concern, I also avoid people and interact only when it’s absolutely inevitable

This is the best comment 😂😂 WINNER

He's an introvert
Legends say he is still calling big boy and waiting for a response

And also saying “to your left” 🤓
Does that even work?
This is the biggest proof that cameraman never dies

Maybe one day this joke will be actually funny.

Tell that to the grizzly Man and his dead girlfriend.
@@benson1914There's nothing we can do
"I'm still top employee of the month...back to hibernation"
LMFAO!

😂
Making sure his wanted poster for eating annoying tourist was still up!
He’s like oh there’s a Bear warning signs , it’s too risky , let’s just turn back and be safe
Lol 😂
😂😂😂😂
😂
It's unwise to inspire bears at this level ... If you make a mistake, you may be miserable to each other.
@@user-qw8yf5zb9s greetings I am teleportdinero
If a bear approaches you, you’re apparently supposed to remain calm, don’t turn your back, speak to the bear to let it know you’re human, and avoid direct eye contact. But my god, what an absolutely terrifying encounter that would be. These giant beasts could literally shred you to pieces. I don’t think enough people realize just how enormous and dangerous bears can be, especially grizzlies and brown bears. Polar bears are on another level
What… I think everyone knows
@@bs1820you'd be surprised how stupid some people are
@sirmatthew2003 not knowing this doesn't make you stupid. You don't encounter bears every day
Polar bears are the size of school buses for sure
@@y0g_s0th0thno if you don't know this... you are the definition of stupid.
What's funny is he looked at the map and was like "oops, wrong way."
Ikr 😂😂😂😂
Given the amount of scars on his body, these are some truly lucky people that he wasn't in the mood.
What a behemoth. A true sight to behold.
Bear knows he’s boss.
Big, fat and confident. You don’t get that way without fighting and winning
Biggest brown bear I’ve ever seen by far
Those people are stupid.
Yeah looking at that Belly he was more Than Stuffed. Looks like a full grown Caribou sitting in his Belly. if he would have been hungry or starved it could have been a Bad Situation
He's just making sure they haven't replaced his picture with that of another bear.
🤣
🤣
lol
@@anthonymanson7493 🔥 🏳️⚧️
Was funny the first time someone said this.
Wow...after living in Alaska for awhile, this gives me the chills bc theyre so unpredictable.
So are the bears.😂
If you ever go to Seward Alaska don't drink so much at a bar that you think a bear cub is a dog and try to pet it. Looking back, the bear probably didn't predict a human would try to pet it.
These tourists are the luckiest people on earth.
Bear: “Hey guys, this park is beautiful… what’s this? …BEARS??? I’m out.”
LOL!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
JAJAJAJA GREAT
😂
hahahaah
Bear: Hey guys make sure to pay attention to these signs, there are dangerous bears out here 🐻
Hahahhahahaha comment section of this video is so hilarious
Hahaha
There are dangerous idiots out there, also.
I agree.
Average human: sees grizzly bear a couple feet away, pulls out phone & begins recording 💀
Yes…absolutely ignorant, aren’t they?
if its a russian guy it would have tried to ride it and teach it how to flip people off lmao
Cameraman buff
As opposed to? They’re on a trail they can’t exactly get in their cars
Average bear attacks average human.
Bear: Uh oh, this path has bears 😰
*Walks away*
Bear: "Y'all are lucky I just had lunch."
looks like you and i have common sense .these people could of been dinner in a flash
Ikr?!!
exactly
XD
@@josephcornell3002 It's actually more common for Black bears to attack out of aggression than Brown/Grizzly bears. These types typically only attack humans when defending a specific territory or cubs or a carcass. Remaining calm and alert is the best idea when encountering these situations instead of panicking and potentially making yourself seem like prey, specially on a well travelled trail like this.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but if I was less than 7 feet from a full-grown brown bear, my heart would be in my throat.
My shit would be in my pants
My heart would probably be in the bears throat
And with a good reason.
Ya they were calling it like it was a pet dog or something. Idiots are just calling attention to themselves. I know that you’re supposed to make noise but that’s only if it’s a threat & wanting to attack or follow you.
Me too 😮😮😮
It always baffles me to see multiple phones out, but not one bear spray in sight
I don’t think those people would have ever thought that their last words were so close to ending up being “Hey Bear”.
Only one person would have died actually, the rest have time to run away while bear was focused on his meal
@@themehicanotrader2476 i mean the bear could catch each of them if it wanted to. They can outpace horses in sprints and their noses are far too good
they are faking it, trying to look unafraid
That would not have been their last words. It would have been more like AHHHHHHHHVDUIFTUBDGF TRY IVFIVDIUSSYUN YHGII I F DD JIG BUIGFINOHF !!!
@@janedoyle5340 which is actually an effective tactic on grizzlies. Alotta people do it when this close and it actually works in preventing the bears from attacking them
Evidently, he was tracking another bear that he'd just been in a fight with down the trail he came from. At the very beginning of the video, you can very briefly see the other bear fleeing far up the path behind the sign. I would imagine once he lost sight and/or scent of the other bear, he decided it was far enough away and decided to return to his domain. He probably was too full, and worn out from the fight, to care about the humans...
Yep, your right ,i agree. Thanks for posting, i would not have seen that 1st bear, but he is there.
very very observant. you can bearly see that
He thought about them for a second.
@@ttchallenges3727 BRUH
Good catch!
He likes being called Big Boy, you did good Human 🐻
"Hey Bear" could've been simple foreplay for the 🐻.
These people did _just_ what they teach you to do in Katmai Park Bear School (which is where this was filmed). I might have been a little further off the path, but otherwise the way they handled it was pretty textbook. The people commenting here that these people were reckless (or idiots) really don't know what they are talking about.
True. On my “bucket list”
Bet their bowels emptied. That’s why bear kept walking!!!
If the tourists had the opportunity to clear out before the bear was close, they should have.
It was text book, but it was also luck. They're lucky he wasn't really hungry because if he was he wouldn't of left any witnesses. His second look may have been him deciding whether or not he wanted "take out."
So what? They did what they had to do, nothing else could be done there @@slevenkelevra3813
Plot twist: The voice is coming from INSIDE the bear...
Underrated comment.
Holy shit LMAO
😂
Lol when a strange bear calls
I laughed so hard
I’ve been to this place in the Katmai National park. The rangers actually tell you to keep talking when the bears come close so as to not startle them and help them distinguish you from a prey animal.
THANK YOU I was looking for someone to explain why he kept saying hey bear
Why the fuck would you go to a place where There is giant bears walking around?
Brown bears tend to treat humans like other bears. A bear would try to communicate. Prey wouldn't.
Bears attack out of predation,being territorial or preceived self defense. See "fatal bear attacks in N. America @ wikipedia. We're on the menu.@@arianebolt1575
And here I am all rage'y and stuff at that talking dude 😅 was looking for an explanation, thank you
The only bear more terrifying to see is a lone bear cub. Mama is not far behind and you do not want her to find you next to him.
He thinks it's a mirror! He wanted to check if he's got any human stuck in his teeth.
What a respectful bear. He read the sign and went back
This could have easily ended much differently.
Exactly! Hey Bear could have been horror screams and they would have to make themselves as big as possible and pray to God.
Yup. He looked like he was ready to snatch and crunch.
the IQ of the average american has dropped sharply over the years
👍
@@chriskroenung4825 They just keep up the tendency. :P
He like i should eat one of yall but i just ate 😂😂
But he thought about it 🤔
Look at those claws, definitely living his best life.
Man: Hey big boy
Bear: Do you know which way the river is?
Bear: *checks map
Bear: Oh crap I walked right past it. See yah!
Loly
Bear: fuck y’all people
I swaer one each comment is better than the other....
He should have turned left at Albuquerque.
Horrible humor !! Bet you’re the type of person that think you’re funny your self
I would’ve pissed myself as he walked by! But when he turned around and started coming back I would’ve turned to dust!
me too
I would’ve just shit my pants and collapse😂
@Eric Rerrud11 also bear can see the pissing as marking teritory so he will fight for it.
I dare you to run
Hey bear! Once the bear left,he could have been my father, I think I would have smacked that idiot.
“Guys be careful, there’s bears on that direction”
When he started snapping those jaws, the sound gave me goosebumps.
Bear saw himself on the board and turned back. But wow that's a big bear.
You should see him now. His belly touches the ground pretty much.
I'm so happy the bear survived this interaction.
😅за людей вы переживаете меньше, насколько я поняла)))
The rest of us were rooting for the humans
@@yesm2302no
@@yesm2302speak for yourself I'm team bear all day
This was a little bit of humor. Actually, it’s a pretty funny comment, imho. 😂
The bear was like "oh shit, there's bears there, I better get back"
He was like “shit.. it’s the other way” 🐻
Man is still saying hey big boy while bear is eating him 😂
we must not forget our good manners!
Yes eating him by a big boy of a bear 🤭👀😏
@@eugeneflores6153 lol, oh my. 😂
He is telling the truth tho, even in death's jaws.
May well be saying it in his dreams too.
Hard to imagine that memory.
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Bear saw the sign "bears in this area" so he turned around and left😂
I would have had to change my pants after this encounter 😁
Same
The guy with the big mouth, he’s the guy in the bar that always gets thrown out.
@@SweetJustice Actually saying "hey bear" is what people are taught to do by people who know bears that and not to run..
@@JUSTICEK Plus it's much easier to say "hey bear" than to run with a load of poop in your drawers...
@@knucklevision "Run?" from a bear? lol Yeah now that is suicide. That WOULD trigger his prey response. LOL I wouldn't be scared at all. HA HA... I'm lying First I'd be saying "shit' then I'd be doing it! lol That's reality!
I believe this is the famous 747 "bear force one"
Bear: *Gunna go for a nice walk, sees bear sign* "Oh fuck bears are dangerous, better turn back."
ROFLMAO 🤣
Underrated
maybe that bear looks like a bear serial killer to him :D Like ''oh, it's that dude... better not go there''
the joke is funny but a real life bear wouldn’t wanna mess with another real life bear. The chance of it dying is 50/50 if it gets into a fight with another bear.
Right ! Oh hells no ! I ain’t walking down that trail !
One swipe with his claws and everyone turns into hamburger helper!
Yeah, the opposite could be said though. One bullet from a gun and he is hamburger helper and a warm blanket. People forget- the most dangerous animal is a human.
@@dylconnaway9976 nah it actually would take a few, one shot would just really piss it off , at that range bear spray is more effective believe it or not they claim
@@dylconnaway9976 you’d need a big caliber to stop one
@Justin Ebding hands aren’t the strongest part of the human, its the brain. if humans couldnt kill a bear thousands of years ago we wouldnt be where we are today, of course you could beat a bear without modern technology, you just need the right tools
@@sixohslow3417 I watched a park ranger take one with a 9mm Glock.. 2 shots and done. Bears are still vulnerable living creatures.
The bear and the man both knew the secret handshake was "Hey bear!". This has been a secret peace keyword between men and bear since the beginning of time...
🙋🏻♂️Human: hey big boy
🐻bear : hey breakfast
“Hey, Big Boy.”
“Hey, Big Mac.”
Wow, the most terrifying thing we have in our English country parks are gangs of marauding squirrels or angry swans 😂
Human: "hey big boy!"
Bear: "that's big man to you."
"Leave my picture on that board alone and we're cool."
I knew 747 was big, but seeing him next to humans is something else! He's truly the king of the Falls.
The sheep are blind
If you want to see an even bigger big goolge one of timoth treadwell's videos of a fight between a bear called Sargent and Mickey. Both are big Sargent looked like a mini Godzilla.
I thought that was 747! And you're right he looks 10X bigger up close. He was 1,400 lbs last year. Wow!
That's 747?
@@Grizzlylover1 Yes, that's 747 from the falls.
The bear knew every one was a cameraman so he didn't take any chances to mess with them.
I wouldn’t have to play dead on purpose I would have naturally fainted
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i would be right there with ya
Bears 🐻 are cute, amazing and dangerous animals and I think that very close bear encounter was truly unbelievable, breathtaking and chilling at first. Those people who were recording the bear at that time were so lucky to be still alive, safe and sound, and If I were right there I would have said something very simple like: Hi Mr Bear.
As long as you stay calm, make your presence known and speak firm and confidently to the bear most bear encounters are fine.
The real dangers are usually if you encounter a sow with cubs and she decides your too close to her cubs or late fall when bears are hungry and gathering fat reserves for winter denning and can become predatory.
I don't think id ever want to be so close to a bear though attacks are rare but when they do happen its brutal they eat humans alive
Think y’all don’t understand how lucky they are to still be alive being that close to a bear like that
Literally everyone is saying how lucky they are like what?😂
Bears don't attack people if they not feel threatened. They simple don't prey on humans, period.
Y'all mfs movie watchers have a misconception of what triggers bears attacks.
I could take him
Hey bear, hey bear. Like this muffuga can speak english 😂😂😂
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm3153 It's not likely but happens. Don't be naive
When the bear turned around, all I could think of was DeNiro in “Taxi Driver” asking, “You talkin’ to me?”
Grizzly don't look like he was in a mood for talking. but bitchen it was a picture instead of a real live SOW GIRL GRIZ.
@@tedfio1tedfio1 OTIS Is. well was the most dominant Grizzly of brooks falls. 747 Was close buy. and then going Down the line .the Sow Holly was a kick ass bear protecting her cubs wile interacting breeding with many other bears .
@@tedfio1tedfio1 I think it was 68 who tryed to take OTIS off the thrown of brooks Fall's. though i have seen many. For 68 a younger bear .
Now i for got if OTIS IS OR NOT 856 but will see.
@@tedfio1tedfio1 Least now. OTIS CLOSE TO 25 YEARS OLD. He use to be i said. He kicked ass on many Videos and was Dominant of the falls for years. He also rip fish out of the jaws of many other bears . He was an ass hole of a frizzly ugly looking monster at one time. I Suppose you seen none of his many videos in the past.
He looked to be persuaded by the sign warning of bears to turn back. Very wise.
Bro looked like he suddenly realized he forgot his keys
I don’t immediately think of my camera when I see a bear
Lol. When he turned around I though he was thinking “wait. Did I forgot to kill those people. Let me go back”
😂 best comment
To hear that breath...I would die of fear first.
That’s absolutely terrifying. They were very lucky
747 checking the path sign! LOL He's one of the biggest boars at Brooks Falls. One that other bears fear and respect. I've been watching him for years. Cara Sicillano I bet this was THE HIGHLIGHT of your trip!!!! WOW!!!
You know him?
Shit i thought that looked like 747. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Lisa'. Do you know if the falls king Grizzly is still around . said he was about 21 years of age last year. i think its name is OTIS And seen him also around 399 and her 4 Cubs? Otis at his old age i herd got knocked off his falls thrown by a younger bear . Don't know if otis is alive today. thank you for info.
@@trafficjon400 Yeah he is.
What the fuck is 747
Bear turns around... "who you calling boy?"
Man.."hey bear"
Bear..."yeah you better get it right, there's no boy here"
LMAO 🐻😬👍
Right!
More like an old dude bear...
I thought the same thing the guy should have not said good boy the bear was like what did you say mfer I can rip your face off so don't be liittel me then the guy said ok bear your the man the bear put on his shades and said your right about that you can say that again
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some guy: heyy bear
Bear: hey how ya doin?? Im just checking my employee of thr month sign thats all. Have a good one yall
Bear must have already had lunch.
He wanted to make sure he still got it when he passed the second time, that low growl is amazing they are such powerful & majestic animals🐻!!
He was checking to see if some kid drew graffiti or a mustache on his picture. He does that every morning. So long as the picture is left untouched and clean then everyone gets to live!
🤣🤣🤣
😁
😂😂🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I love how the guy continues to say hey bear like it’s some magical incantation to keep him alive.
He did the right thing by staying calm, if you panic and suddenly flinch its probably going to be game over for you.
Bear: “Hey guys! Weathers nice, enjoy your hike and look out for mountain lions”
I would be too paralyzed with fear to utter one word. One swipe of that paw, with steak knives on the end of it, would buy the farm.
Same here. My instincts would say stand still & quiet & let it pass. The last thing I'd want to do is startle, intimidate or draw it closer with sound out of curiosity. But, bear pros say to form a group, if you're with others, & together slowly wave your arms. So that you look like one large creature. And tell the bear to go away. I've seen this work, so... (But somehow, I suspect bears are smarter than that. They'll rush a stream pool chock full of swarming salmon as easily as a single fish. On some level I think they understand groupings.)
Here's my club. Oh yes, I would also just stand there in silence. I thought it was weird that he was talking to that bear, like it was someone's pet or something.

wow he is so smart, he suddenly stop and back after seeing bear dangerous sign
Having fought with another bear and still looking for it, he is walking all spread out to make himself look larger. When he decides the other bear is no longer a threat, you can clearly see his walk is different and more normal. Amazing and beautiful animal.
How do you know that ? wow.
@@chaosdweller 6 months late, but when the person filming turns to the right, you can see briefly see another bear running down the trail.
Sharp eyes!
@@chaosdweller Slow down the playback and look at when the camera swings to the right, past the sign. You can see, through the trees, the other bear ambling away to right of screen.
Spot on
I'm sure that if the bear knew you were filming this in portrait mode he would have thrashed you on principle.
I thought the same darn thing.😂😂 But no doubt, it was a high pressure situation, so they get a pass.
Considering portrait filming is the best that is very unlikely.

"fuck i went the wrong way around...and aaaalll the way back again...shit." 🐻🐻🐻
That bear knows what’s up. He was walking down the road like it was a runway.
What an amazing encounter. Imagine the bear got offended by being called big boy
Not to worry that was Alaska, so more then likely that bear isn’t “woke”
Bears aren’t liberal.
I get called that all the time and it doesn't offend me
It almost looks like he saw the picture of the bear and started getting a little stressed. His breathing increased after he looked at that photo.
It's a photo of his ex
We dont know how smart bears are, but he definitely seen the bear and didnt want to go that way.
@@user-wz5ir9jl8q 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe it doesn't want to wander into territory of another bear because of the signboard.
Thats him on the poster.
I almost wondered if he seen the poster and turned around? Too cool and the more people see how to remain calm, the better for the bears and us on multiple spectrums.
It was making sure that the other bear he just fought with was gone. You can see the other bear at the beginning.
Bear sees sign… “darn this guy has pics everywhere . dude owns the whole park”
He thought he saw some bear was talking shit from a distance, but then he noticed it was just a picture, so he left.
OH ITS THAT OL BIT- 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
That bear looked at the picture of a bear and then changed his mind!
He was probably thinking "wow this drumstick is annoying" 😂
He looked at the map and read "No bears allowed", then turned around like a good boy.
::pauses to look at his own photo::
“Everybody’s been expecting me”
Me when I get to the trailhead and it reads, “strenuous.”
Its like he read the sign. The chance of catching that on video is crazy
This video should be titled "Clueless tourists who grew up in a safety bubble venture outside for the first time."
actually, that was the safest course of action they could take
It's comforting to think that he could have just killed all of them if he wanted, but he didn't. He showed compassion. He let the nice man think "hey, bear" saved 4 lives that day, but it was actually the good heart of the bear himself.
Totally looked like he just checked the map lol
It did 😂
