I had no idea Brown bears existed in Japan. It's wonderful when I can learn something new. Even though we sometimes bad interactions between humans and bears here in the U.S., education has greatly helped us live alongside bear habitat, because we understand them better.
Yes, brown bears are actually native to several regions in Japan, including Hokkaido, Honshu, and Shikoku. Despite occasional conflicts between humans and bears, education has indeed proven to be a powerful tool in promoting coexistence. By understanding bear behavior and taking appropriate precautions, such as properly storing food and avoiding areas with recent bear activity, we can minimize negative interactions and enjoy the beauty of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.
Indeed, coexistence between humans and brown bears is a multifaceted relationship. Understanding bear behavior, implementing safety measures, and prioritizing habitat conservation are essential for successful cohabitation. Striking a balance between human activities and bear conservation is vital to minimize conflicts and secure the long-term survival of both species.
Beautiful bears… they look really healthy! Humanity can have this close relationship with most members from the natural world. All we need is a little respect for life. Respect for the creatures that we share our planet with.
Humans living alongside brown bears can be a challenging but rewarding experience. While it is important to take precautions, such as storing food properly and avoiding surprise encounters, living in harmony with these majestic creatures can provide a unique perspective on the natural world.
Where I live, they are extremely shy. They are scared of us (humans) since we're hunting them (we have an annual culling due to the population regulation). But I have managed to meet couple of them already (at least the ones that I've noticed). And like you've said: behavior is the key (you must make your presence known so that they can safely retreat - the law of the forrest).
Coexistence between humans and brown bears is a complex dynamic. It requires understanding their behaviors, implementing appropriate safety measures, and promoting habitat conservation. Balancing human activities with bear conservation efforts is crucial for mitigating conflicts and ensuring the long-term survival of both species.
Last year, 14 people were injured and 4 of them died by brown bear in Hokkaido. And 74 people were injured and one died by Asian black bears in Honshu and Shikoku. Be careful when entering the mountains of Japan 😉
@@c.james1 "Brown bears, grizzly bears and Kodiak bears are all the same species" - quite, but don't use the name of the species (brown bear) in an example of some subspecies (grizzly, Kodiak). - Better to name the subspecies in this video alongside the grizzly and Kodiak as examples of subspecies or 'all the same species'; 'Ussuri brown bears, grizzly bears and Kodiak bears are all the same species'.

As they didn't mention it; this is an isolated population of the Ussuri brown bear, one of many brown bear subspecies around the world. They have a size range similar to that of the grizzly subspecies.
This video beautifully showcases the incredible coexistence between humans and brown bears. It's truly remarkable to witness how these two seemingly contrasting species can share the same environment in harmony. The respect and understanding shown by the humans towards the brown bears is inspiring. It's evident that they have learned to coexist by implementing measures that ensure the safety of both humans and bears. This kind of harmonious relationship serves as a testament to the importance of conservation and the preservation of natural habitats.
I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest In Washington State, US, they have reintroduce the wolf and most recently the Grizzly bear to our state which is exciting news but of course you also have people that don't like it. What they don't understand or mostly don't care is that they were here long before us. We keep taking away their habitat and pushing them closer to have interaction with humans. We have to learn to coexist or all our wildlife will be in jeopardy of being lost forever
Hokkaido is not even close to being a remote island, you can drive through a tunnel from the main island of Honshu and you can even see Russia from the northern most point. The description of the video would be better as "in a remote location on the island of Hokkaido".
Drive? you mean the shinkansen can drive through the tunnel?, cars can't drive to the mainland you have to take a ferry. Hokkaido is indeed not so remote, and the place they mention is very popular tourist and fishing spot so it's not very remote either BUT there is only 1 road and most of the time it's closed down because of the snow in winter. I was there a 2 weeks ago for flyfishing and the road was closed because of an avalanche of melting snow. It is the most bear populated place since there are not many roads to disturb and a big forest next to the sea which makes a good location for bears. Would i like to live there? 😅 Hell no hahaha i prefer the main land with black bears
My aunt had a 500-pound black bear that I literally went in the cage and pet. I wish i had a video clip from then, but 24 years ago, camera phones weren't all the rage 😢

One of the few channels where you don’t want the videos to end.
The heat, The storms, the sea level rise , the Arctic melting. These are real facts that over time will sink in The question is , when will that be? We're the first generation to feel the impact of all these changes and the last generation that can do something about it.
Estes ursos tão lindos ...parece que têm um colar branco ao pescoço!! Que bom ver esta interacção ...Entre humanos e ursos para preservar este belo espécime!! As crias são tão engraçadas ...a coragem e o discernimento da mãe urso é muito impressionante!!
I have to assume that the fishermen put out the remains of the salmon, once they are processed, for the bears. The bears know where their food is coming from and they don't bother the humans if the later don't do anything stupid like threaten a cub. So I would call the bears semi-domesticated. But I am sure the BBC would not tell the truth about this. That would spoil the touchy-feely narrative they want to push, rather than showing how human intervention can have a positive effect on wildlife.
It would be so nice, if in the US the culture had a built-in respect for nature. I am so tired of people using resources, as if they were infinite, and treating our only home like a dump. In my part of houston, we used to have bats, whom kept the mosquitos at bay, but as texas has almost no laws regarding conservation, and a general policy of destroying everything without regard to the future, their trees were pulped. No kore bats, and clouds of mosquitoes.
@@lithunoisan Not to mention not every Brown Bear is gonna have the same bulky look. Individual variations exist. You should also search up the range map of the Asian Black Bear. They don’t inhabit Hokkaido Japan. Only Brown Bears do.
I mean it’s not actually that difficult just let the bear live it’s life and don’t upset or disturb it and your fine people freak out and panic before there is even a reason too and it spooks the animals also taking 1000 pictures with flash and the camera click on don’t help 😂😂

Ussuri brown bears that are similar to the Kodiak bears
Please never stop producing documentary about bears. I can never get tired of watching them. They are so interesting. Always learn something great.
I can't bear to lose these types of documentaries
Yes...Me too. Intersting watching animal world. ☺
their meat super yummy too 😋
@@minimuthu3550 Their meat? Do people eat bears?

Feedback : Please make the outro less loud because it scares me each time
This could be the UK, but we're too cowardly to reintroduce even lynx.
Shame. Lynx and bear are amazing beauties.
True. We need to reintroduce the lynx and wolves back to the British isles

These are real facts that over time will sink in
The question is , when will that be?
We're the first generation to feel the impact of all these changes and the last generation that can do something about it.
And that's why we're all doomed
The video claims the seas rose some hundreds to thousands of years ago, doesn't make sense to equate that to global warming

As the sea levels continue to rise, I wonder what bodies of land today will soon be islands themselves?
Nature has always a better way
Always!!
Bears: sup
Russians: sup
Bears: oh my bad I was talking to the Japanese
Japanese: bear friends club 🤜🤛
It's Beautiful Sin Thanks Your Video

They are cute ! 😊
Thanks BBC earth 👍
Can we get the full video please
Interessantes Video mit den Bären. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
Want more cool stuff about bears? Look up brown bears and "siberian times". Very beautiful bears.
I hope the bears get enough to eat with the humans there taking part of the food .....

the ear rape at the end is fascinating
Very nice apart from the faith element. It would be much better if the BBC stuck to science.
Just learned there were brown bears in Japan. And here I am with the RUclips searches
Search for the Sankebetsu brown bear incident. A world-famous and terrifying brown bear attack that once occurred in Hokkaido, Japan.
Excelente video de Osos 👍👌👍
