Momma and Baby Bears Visit Al & Amy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 апр 2018
- Wow. What a morning this was!
(Be sure to have your speakers on so you can hear the cubs cry, and the Momma chuffing her way up the tree.)
This video was captured in early spring, mid-April 2018, that time of year when our trail cameras start capturing footage of newborn wildlife. On this particular morning, Momma bear and her two cubs came a bit too close to our home. Our dog, Buki alerted us to their presence. We dutifully got out the airhorns, and Buki kept up the barking, while our new puppy learned to follow suit. But rather then sending the bears away, our racket just sent the cubs high up in a nearby tree. Momma tried to flee at first, but she couldn't leave her babes behind, so she ended up climbing the tree to join them.
It was an uncharacteristically glorious day for this time of year. After we stopped trying to scare the bears away, this family just settled in the crook of our oak tree and napped in the warm morning sun. The cubs took turns nursing, and when they finished, Momma bear created a protective barrier on either side of her cubs so they could sleep together in the cradle of her arms.
This was a wondrous thing to witness, but we understand how serious this kind of proximity to bears can be. Just listen to that huffing and chuffing of Momma Bear as she climbs up the tree! You don't want to mess with Momma bear.
Thanks so much for watching!
(We hope you enjoy this as much as we did.)

The first clip of them sleeping was priceless. So adorable.
Wow I didn’t know a bear that big could climb like that. Amazing.
Margie Lulu - yeah, no kidding! That’s a good example of why we should never try to climb a tree to get away from a bear. Ha.
Bears are famously excellent climbers as well as fast runners which one would not expect from their size.
They are SO ADORABLE!!! Seeing their sweet faces when their napping in the tree is too much!! What a beautiful view, thank you for sharing these precious bears with us!!!
Whoa....Mama's have to have a lot of patience!
Especially when your kids are up a tree....and house can only WAIT for them to come down. What a hood Mama.
Cute, all snuggled up in a tree. Then the little one has to get into mischief climbing a chimney. Momma's thinking "can't wait for them to grow up and have kids of their own". Thank you for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Amazed at the breathtaking background.
We love living here. Western North Carolina is a beautiful area.
Mom went up the tree nimbly. I was surprised how easy it was for the bears to climb.
They are a sweet family - at a distance. Thank you!
OMG! How cute are they?!?!? It's amazing how fast they can scale a tree! Now I see why you wouldn't want to climb a tree to get away from one that's angrily pursuing you now! It would be like climbing up onto their dinner table, lol.
Many thanks for posting! I hope you can post more. I love learning about their behaviors and why they do the things they do. So interesting!
I like your analogy of being their dinner by
"climbing up a tree ".
I love the humor . I'm like that too . Tks for sharing .
Mee too
So glad I got this clip in my suggestion area! I joined recently and fell in love with momma bear and her babies, but this is the youngest I have seen them. So agile and adorable! Cubs cry a lot like human babies. All mom's recognize that cry. What a great video and such a lovely view. Thank you for sharing.
Sure made the mom in me want to cuddle and rock that baby. Til that happens, I'll just watch Ms Amy's great clips
Your still shot is priceless. Them little ones are so cute and the way they get up a tree is phenomenal. Even Momma Bear gets up there quick. Your view is a dream come true thank you for sharing your world
Beautiful, how heartwarming, I love Bears!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was such an amazing video and the view from your house is priceless!🐻🐻🐻 The bears snoozing in the tree are adorable they seem so content and at peace! It's so beautiful to see them like this in their natural habitat.🌲🌳💚That cub climbing your wall looked like a sweet little rascal! 🤎🤎🤎
Absolutely gorgeous! How lucky you are to live so close to such wonderful animals.
We feel so fortunate to be here! Thank you.
Gee I wish I had those climbing skills☺️
You and me, both!
You, Al and your domestic critters truly live in a soul soothing haven. The wild ones feel it too.
🥰- thank you for watching!!
We do feel so lucky to be here.
Precious video. TY
Just special would love to see this in my yard I would be so excited.thank you for this video.
Who can blme blame them? Such a beautiful, peaceful spot.
Ty for being kind to the bears. They're a lot like dogs, and a lot like peo. They don't seem deterred by the presence of people!
Thank you!
Most folks in this region love the bears, and for that I’m grateful.
We’re lucky to have had several other bear families call this mountain home since I posted this video. The family from last year and this spring is still my favorite, thus far. Mama Bear and The Darryls were so incredibly playful and adventurous.
I’ve begun to offer the bears “enrichment” toys in areas that are very far from our home. The bears have really come to enjoy those toys. (No food, though! I never feed the bears. - Unfortunately, easy access to birdseed, pet-food, and trash is one of the reasons why so many bears are living closer to town now. There are lots of sightings, which are always a thrill. Unfortunately, the prevalence of all that human-sourced food doesn’t always work out so well, though - whether for humans or for the bears. :-( )
Here are a few playlist links that show some of the bears enjoying their time on the mountain here:

Good Morning. Truly beautiful bear family and the Nature. Have a good day. Love. Blessings to you and your family and everyone, always.🙏🤍❤️💛💚🤎🌷🌾🌻
What a beautiful place! I am sure it’s momma bear ‘s first choice of Airbnb😜
Four hours trying to get scampers 1and 2 down from the tree! Baby bears rock! 🐾🐻🐾
wondering if you still have spontaneous access to your big beautiful garden too?🤣 IE are you able to sit under the Wisteria ? You created such a marvellous camera set up, generously sharing funny, interesting, calming videos. Hopefully you don’t need to check the various cameras before you work in your garden. Thank you, Amy, for giving us so much pleasure❤️
Well - that’s the downside to having all these trail cameras around. I have to skip past all the footage of me, which is terribly annoying and humbling. That is why I’m sticking with critter cams, rather than insisting on live-streaming or recording music videos with my sweetie. I detest being on the other side of any camera. ;-)
Oh so tender! lovely video, and great editing. Thanks, guys! 😍
Awwww - thanks so much for watching and commenting!
I bet you’d enjoy the new story-video I made for this year’s lovely new bear family. The cubs are so precious!

Bear Cubs are adorable . They are so animated . I could watch them for hours on end . I could do this , I'm 85% retired . Lol The smaller the better 😂
What a beautiful setting!! That Mama is a fast climber! They must enjoy the surrounding of the house 😁 the babies are adorable!!
Thank you!
Yes - we LOVE it here and are so grateful to be living on this little mountain.
@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS absolutely incredible!
Thank you!
Beautiful mom and baby
Love watching them. Thanks.
What a wonderful encounter!! Quite amazing!!
Beautiful!
Cuuuuute
All so loving 🥰😍❤️
She's magnificent.
Fantastic!! Thank you for posting this!
Thanks for sharing this video, big bears, bears cubs, so loveable looking!!
I've mentioned before how much I appreciate that you don't typically add music to your videos. Today while watching this one again I realized that at times I couldn't distinguish between the sounds from your local ambience and mine. Very pleasant. Alas, we have no bears around here, so thank you for sharing yours. :)
Thank you so much.
This year, the birdsong is so exceptionally glorious, I couldn’t imagine obscuring it with music. Their music is the best. :-)
(Says the recording artist/composer. Ha Ha.)
I always fantasize about living in nature and then I watch something like this...while it’s adorable, if I saw them outside my house...I would never leave my house.
bsmartcoaching - HAHA!
I get it. I was a little unnerved by their presence at first. But it feels more like an honor to us when they swing by close enough that we get to see them. (Although this was much too close to the house. We tried to scare them away for the bears’ sake. It’s best that they not become accustomed to being near houses. We should have known our sounds and yelling would have sent the bear cubs up the tree! Sometimes bear cubs will be up a tree for up to 24 hours until the Momma Bear deems it safe for them to come back down again. I think Momma Bear knew her cubs were safe in this instance. But they were being careful. Besides, they enjoyed that long sultry springtime nap in the tree.
It’s still always a thrill, partly because it could be dangerous, but mostly the bears just don’t want to be bothered. They don’t want to interact with humans.
I’m just so glad we get to see them on occasion! Usually I have to wait until I’ve switched out the SD cards on my trail cameras to witness them.
FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS That’s very cool!
This is amazing love watching these types of videos
Thank you! 🥰
I LOVE YOUR VIDEO
beautiful video ,,I just love the black bears ..they are skittish .but you cant blame them
Bears, bc of their intelligence, are even more like humans than your dog. That said, their space is to be respected. Even the cute ones can mess you up.
Yeah - no kidding! We practice “proper social distancing,” for sure.
Lovely black bears.
Медведица от страха убежала и бросила деток. Каждый раз убеждаюсь, что слоны самые лучшие родители. Детей своих не бросают, а наоборот, спасают из всех экстремальных ситуаций.
Aren't they wonderful!!!! Something really special about the mother bear and cubs relationship. But guess Al and Amy were stuck inside the house for most of that day!
little jack - yeah. We had a hyperactive young-puppy at the time, too. When we took him out for breaks, we kept him on leash and were able to keep him from becoming aware of their presence.We didn’t go for a walk until after they were gone.
Had me tearing-up.
I absolutely love love love me some bears!!! Watching a mama bear with her Cubs has got to be one of the most precious things ever!! Oh how I envy the environment you get to live in. I'd be out there every day with food and water for all of the critters... too many people are so ignorant to these animals and just want to start shooting.. Yes they are very large animals and can do an awful lot of damage and probably death, but it's our own faults that they are even in our yards and out in the open.. Humans continually destroy their homes and their food and water sources.. humans feel the need to just keep depleting our forests and nature in general.. and for what? More buildings, houses, malls, stores, and alot of crap we dont even need.. how about just using what's already built and leave what's left of nature to the critters...sorry about the rambling.. Animals and nature is a very touchy subject for me.. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us.. It gave my heart the biggest smile❤❤❤
We are so lucky to be living here amidst all this wonderful, wild beauty!
Unfortunately, we cannot feed the bears or the other wildlife. (Although we do feed the birds in the winter.)
It’s just not safe or advisable to get bears habituated to a human’s food sources. There is a reason why this local saying is so often repeated:
“A fed bear is a dead bear.”
Once bears become accustomed to getting food from humans, they can become too demanding and dangerous as a result. (They cause a lot of property damage, and can even cause personal injury.)
Once they are officially deemed “nuisance bears”, they are either removed from the area altogether, or, worse, and, unfortunately more often, they end up having to be euthanized.
It’s a tragic ending for too many bears, especially when their deaths are unnecessary, and are caused by the actions of otherwise well-meaning (and sometimes selfish) humans.
I AM out there every day, though! Whether that is for gardening, or walking trails, or doing trail camera maintenance.
Thankfully there are many natural water sources not far from us, just in the valleys below our ridge. I still dream about building a water-source for the wildlife up here. Our property seems to be a favorite pass-through, and I bet all the critters would appreciate having another water-source to enjoy en route. At least providing water would not lead to “nuisance bears.” Just happier, hydrated bears. :-)
@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS I know so many more,NUISANCE PEOPLE than animals. Ain't that the truth!!!!!!🙄🙄🙄
Ok
Thank you
Wow beautiful
I wouldn't have tried running them off. It would be an honor to have bears visit my house like this.
Oh! I know! So very tempting. However, it’s best not to let bears get too accustomed to being near any human or human’s home. It’s dangerous not only for the human inhabitants or pets, but for the bears themselves. There is a saying around here that holds true - “A fed bear is a dead bear.” When bears become nuisance bears and endanger neighborhoods and human lives, they end up having to be relocated or euthanized. Typically they are euthanized, which is an end result we want to afford. - Thankfully, we have a veritable playground for the bears on the rest of our property and in the wild lands beyond.The bears love our hiking trails almost as much we do. They also love our hammock! Hope you saw those videos, too. I’ve only posted 4 of the hammock videos but will be posting more. Hopefully the bears will rediscover the hammock this year. We shall see. THe hammock is far enough from our house, their presence there is a little less worrisome.
That’s one big mama bear!
OMG - you should see the even bigger Momma Bear from this spring! She is ginormous! I have different videos of her on my Bears playlists. One of them is this silly captioned video I did. Check out her size in this video!:
ruclips.net/video/BPfeP4iJITo/видео.html
FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS thanks for the link. The captions were hysterical!
Adorables 💖💖💖
Omg scary yet so sweet at the same time I live in Nova Scotia they are around but luckily we don’t see them much there’s still a lot of Forrest for them & they are shy,ty for posting made me smile 💕😆
Thank you for watching!
I’ve been loving our new bear family from 2020. We anxiously awaited spring, hoping that they survived the winter, and I just saw them again on Sunday night. The day after I discovered a recently vacated bear den a few steps away from where I captured footage of them. Might have been their den! It has been such a joy. Definitely reason for caution, too - we are careful. But I can’t help but feel joy when I see them. They are so magnificent and goofy, all at the same time. (Not to mention destructive. I have learned to let go of my expensive plantings. Ha Ha.)
Что мишек так встревожило? Вроде нет никакой опасности... Славная семейка! 🤗🐻❤️
Thank you!
Bears around here don’t really have predators, other than humans. The Mama Bears around here know they are safe around most of the houses on our mountain, so folks see them fairly frequently - just so long as they don’t visit the neighbors on the backside, as they are well-armed and may be bear-hunters. I don’t know. I don’t want to know bc there’s nothing I can do about the bears territory.
However, Mama Bears *do* have to worry about adult male bears being predators. Adult male bears are known to kill young cubs to force the Mama Bears into estrus, so they will breed again.
Typically when I’ve seen Mama Bear concerned, it is because a male bear has been in the vicinity. The males let Mama Bears know they are around by stomping (leaving scent with the glands in their paws) and marking foliage and trees with their fur. So, that’s probably why Mama looked concerned. Also, our dogs were barking during their visit. We were finally able to calm the dogs down, once we realized we could not shoo the bears away from our home. While I absolutely *love* getting to see bears, it’s best if they don’t get too comfortable near houses. Otherwise, they may come too close to the wrong house, and a hunter may kill them. When bears are too habituated to humans, a game warden may come to take them away, or euthanize them. That happens a little too often, and it’s heartbreaking. :-(

😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
you are so lucky
I'm not going to comment on weather it's good for them to be there or not. I will say THEY ARE SO FREAKIN CUTE..
😁 I think the bears have been walking this ridge since long before people ever built a house up here. Just because there's a house along their path now, doesn't mean they feel like changing course.🤣
I didn't realize just how often bears swung by our lower patio until I put a couple cameras down there. Many bears have learned to associate humans' houses with great, easy food. We don't feed the birds during the warmer months, though - when bears are out of the den and active. I suppose the bears leave here somewhat disappointed. However, our ridge top is still full of yummy treats that are more typical fare for bears -- berries, grubs, etc. They don't go hungry up here.
❤❤❤
I'm curious where you're located I watch your videos every time they come out I love them. Nature at its best!
Pretty Bird - Thank you for watching and letting me know you enjoy the videos! - We are located just north of Asheville, in the mountains of western North Carolina.
@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS OK so I'm going up there for a visit. I'm in Atlanta lol
FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS I had no idea it is so beautiful out there. Thank you.
Was there a reason you wanted to scare and chase them away?
May be because that they can brake in house ,to me it’s a natures Beaty but very scary,to me it is very uncomfortable to leave in hous with bears in your back yard
So adorable picture of their sleeping. They are looking for food. They are hungry. They don't have food to eat. Please give them food to eat. Once you give them food, they do not harm you but appreciate and become tamed. Put food in a big bowl or bucket.
Junyulie Fukushima-Crowell - Don’t worry. They have plenty to eat.
We can’t feed the bears here. It’s too dangerous for them!
There is a saying around here, “A fed bear is a dead bear.”
When bears get used to easy access to high-nutrient food from humans, they can become demanding and dangerous. Unfortunately that’s when they become deemed “Nuisance Bears” and end up being euthanized/killed by the game warden. That’s the last thing I’d want to have happen, so we just let bears live their natural lives - albeit with occasional interaction or close-calls, as was the case here. We try to discourage bears from getting this close to our home.
There really is plenty of food for them. Bears aren’t ripe this time of year, but there is all sorts of greenery, leftover acorns, and lots of grubs in fallen logs and debris.
Don’t worry!
FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS Ok. Good to know they have plenty of food to eat and they are not starving. Those cubs are so cute.
Damn the cubs climb faster than a cat
No kidding. Never try to climb a tree to get away from a bear.
Super
Fuck, i knew they were good climbers but didnt know they were that good
This is why you don't climb a tree to get away from a bear.
😊!
❤
😍😍😍💙
Omg they climb like that
😘❤️❤️❤️
Pretty frightening when something as big as a bear can climb a tree like something the size of a Raccoon!! Scary!!
and impressive, too!
There was a yearling at the very top of one of our mature hickory trees the other day, going after the acorns. That tree is high, high above a pastoral valley. Quite the scene. I did a little bit of video from our living room window. This is activity that my trail cameras wouldn’t capture, so I may put it together for the channel someday.
Thanks for watching!
"I can't tell you guys anything!"
Would they charge if you offer fruits to them from a distance ?
vicious baby bears
bruh that cub climbed up concrete thinking it was a tree holy shit
It is *amazing* how quickly those cubs learn to climb, and how incredibly high they go, too - even when they're only a couple months old. Puts me to shame. Somedays I can barely get out of bed without nearly falling on the floor. (OK, so it's a really high bed, but you get the idea.)
Hi i love my family bears i like 🙏👌🌹🌹💖
Ok! Got it! Don’t climb up a tree if you see a bear coming!
Omg. Its my first panic reaction. Get up that tree. She sounded upset when Her babies seemed threatened by Amy's voice. Imagine how scary coming face to face with an upset bear?
How would you feel walking all that way and get no treat! You can't throw him a piece of bread?
🤣 - There is SO much for a bear to eat in these woods, they’ll never go hungry! Plus, the acorns are dropping like mad this year, already. I’ve got loads of trail camera footage with wonderful audio of bears crunching on acorns. It’s such a treat to hear up close.
Unfortunately, this old adage becomes true a little too often around here:
“A fed bear is a dead bear.”
It’s best for bears to remain wild and to source their food naturally, as they’ve done for thousands of years. Bears who are fed by humans can become inured to humans, and ultimately become aggressive in seeking human-sourced food. When that happens, and it does, those bears often end up shot dead by the game warden as they’ve become a danger to the community. It’s so much better to keep bears wild, and to allow them to retain their natural fear of humans. It keeps everyone safe and healthy - both bears and humans.
bearwise.org/six-bearwise-basics/never-feed-or-approach/
Ok, only if they are starving. I don't buy all it it....just a pick me up snack would be ok.@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS
I dunno - I think it makes more sense to trust the bear experts and fur-bearer biologists of the world on this point.
The biologists know that it’s best to help keep bears wild. That way the bears can avoid being shot to death by game wardens.
I would feed a bear in trouble.@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS
Does anybody know what happened to the mama bear in the video mama bear lost did somebody shoot her?
I’m not sure what happened to the Momma Bear (to the orphan bear we had visiting with us.) I haven’t seen this Momma Bear (with the earrings) lately, so I’m not sure if she’s still living and just moved to another area. I hope she’s alive and well because she is the most playful Momma. I loved watching her play with her cubs on our hammock! ruclips.net/video/puXdsdJUOk0/видео.html
They're hungry
Zarya X. - yes, early spring there isn’t as much for them to eat in season. It’s a while before the berries fruit. But at least there is always still other mast around - acorns, fresh new greens, and loads of grubs in the dying trees and rotting trunks along the forest floor. We can’t feed the birds once the bears wake up. Just not safe because the seed is too tempting for them.
I remember this family! My favorite picture was of one of these cubs with his back to the camera staring out over the landscape. Was that the boy and girl cubs? Wish I could remember whar you named them. Didn't know I had been a subscriber so long. Didn't the older dog die? The mother became a favorite of yours and the three of them loved the first hammock.
P.S. Maybe I am wrong? I see where I commented a year ago. I still think I remembered them from long ago. Isn't this before you bought more of the mountain?
You are so thoughtful! I'm honored that you have been following these stories.
So, Yes - this was well before we purchased more land! We weren't able to afford the land until after the pandemic started.
While they can often look quite similar, this video wasn't featuring Mama Bear Bertha (who I've come to call, "Mama Darryl") and her 2 cubs, "The Darryls" -- aka Darryl and The Other Darryl. 🤣 Mama & The Darryls were our star family more recently - from spring 2020 to early spring 2021. Sadly, the beloved girl cub of that family, Darryl, likely never returned to the top of our mountain in the spring of 2021. I think I may have seen her, but I can't be sure. *sniff* (Darryl was the cub whose image I captured, perched way up high in that hickory tree, overlooking the valley. She was so precious!)
So *this video* you just watched was captured 4 years ago - back in 2018. I'm pretty sure this is also the same family who was the first to visit the Hammock! 🥰 I could confirm that if I spent some time looking at the archives. -- I captured my first Hammock Bears video that year. Shortly after hanging my first hammock, I discovered that huge gaping hole in the netting. That's when I knew to set put up a trail camera or two and train them on the hammock to see if the culprits came back. And they did, thank goodness!
One really cool thing having so many years-worth of wildlife footage in one place, is that I can refer back to older footage to try to identify specific bears, or to see if I can find a pattern of movement or of dominance in a territory. It's always a thrill to realize I'm seeing certain bears who have passed through here before, even 7 or 8 years ago.
I'm not sure why Mama Darryl hasn't come back up here this year. I think she is probably doing OK. Our neighbor at the bottom of the mountain caught some footage of a Mama Bear with 3 cubs this year. That Mama Bear looked and moved quite like Mama Darryl, so I hope that was her, and that she's doing well. I wish she'd return, but there may be some subtle family dynamics that are keeping her away. My guess is that some of the more mature Mama Bears, or perhaps just one matriarch may have ceded much of our mountain-top to other bears, like Sadie and Belle, who are both first-time Moms. I've heard there can be strict hierarchies and more subtle understandings between bears. I just wish I knew what they were! :-)
@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS thank you for helping me remember. That picture of the cub looking over the valley is my all time favorite wildlife picture. You can see the valley but wonder what he's thinking while staring so far away. I just love it!

Cool place, what state is this?!
WNC / western North Carolina
🐻🐻🐻Baby＆Mamma🏡🌲↑😮😊
WV or Tennessee?
Close!
In the mountains of western North Carolina, near Asheville.
Now, don’t you wish you’d just spread a blanket, brought out the peanut butter and jelly and a big jar of honey and had a family picnic? Once everybody was full and comfortable, you could have explained the rules, said it was time to go, and made plans to get together again next Saturday! 😆
Wat do they eat?
Mostly berries, grubs, greenery, and mast/acorns.
We have berry bushes all over our property, and this time of year, we can often hear them rustling through the canes, foraging for berries. We also lined all of the walking trails we had cut throughout our property with fallen logs. As the logs degrade, the bears love to raid them and rip them apart for the grubs inside.
When people are careless, bears will end up eating pet food, bird seed, and poorly secured human trash. It’s really not good when that happens as they can become accustomed to easy access to such high-nutrient food and can become dangerous when they become more demanding. (Too often game wardens have to kill (euthanize) the bears when that happens. Damn shame.) It is always best when bears can survive on their own in the wild. The forests are full of excellent food sources for them.
Last year was a huge bounty-year for mast. Check out this ginormous Momma Bear with her grown cubs noshing on all the acorns near our home:
