A grizzly bear loses her cubs......nature's cruel beauty.

  • Back in 2011, this female, GB# 94 had her first litter of cubs at age ten. After a few days of being down at the valley bottom, she encountered a very large boar/ male bear. He ended up killing both cubs as males do to bring her back into estrus. At the time I was just volunteering with the bear program, I was devastated, but it was nature's way. We shadowed GB#94 for a few hours in hopes the other cub was stashed safely but it wasn't so. Eventually she left without her cubs only to return to mating a short time after, and most likely with the male that killed her cubs. In 2012 she showed up with three brand new cubs to try her luck out again as a mother grizzly. Being a grizzly isn't easy!
    As tragic as this was, it was the moment I knew I wanted to be involved with bear management and fueled my drive to make it happen. GB#94 was the first grizzly I saw in the wild back in 2006, what an amazing and complicated animal.

      It was her first litter at ten years old. They put up a great defense but the male isn't there to kill her. In some cases the cubs back off and tail mom as she mates before returning her focus on her cubs. In cases like, late beyond the mating season, males will even kill the female when she defends the cubs as he is just looking for a meal. This is what eventually happened to this female. She was no match for a bear that was double her size. It a tough life.

    The other question that needs to be asked: is this sow grizzly possibly complicit in the deaths of her cubs? Because normally a sow with cubs is extremely protective of her cubs at all times, including towards male grizzlies. Perhaps she is young and not aggressive like most female grizzlies and has retreated instead of defending them.

    • @TheBearGuyCanada
      @TheBearGuyCanada  3 года назад +32

      Most first time moms drop the ball, don't realize how much effort and attention it takes. With that said, a 250lb female is no match for a 500lb male. They run interference and the male is not there to kill her so they back off. They are the number one killer of cubs, leading to 40-60% mortality depending of the area. This actual female defended her second set of cubs in the fall against a male, so there was no mating to be done, he wanted to eat the cubs and he killed her.

    I don't think it's ironic that the sow may have bred with the same male that killed her cubs. The male may have killed them, instinctually knowing the sow would come back into heat. The one cub may have been hit by a car and then fed on by the male.

      We were on scene and investigated it thoroughly, both cubs were killed by the male, he knew to get her back into estrus he had to get both. She put up enough of a fight protecting the dead one on the road he left to feed on the other one that laid dead over 200m away. He moved off for a few days before returning to get back on her scent.

      There is the theory that he will know they are his and not kill them, but it is a theory. Personally I think if a male has traveled sometimes 100's of kilometers to mate, he's going to kill cubs regardless. He doesn't care about his lineage he cares about mating. But this is open to debate.

      @TheBearGuyCanada  3 года назад +11

      There's those that believe a female will mate with multiple males in hopes he thinks they are his cubs and won't kill them, plus a grizzly can have multiple cubs from different males. I find a lot of times males hit areas up in cycles, not necessarily returning year after year when they become dominant. Plus spending a week to two with a single female gobbles up the mating season when he has to travel, then he gets with three or four that's a lot. Myself personally, if the male returns to an area, whether they are COY, yearlings or even 2 y/o cubs, if the female isn't receptive he will kill the cubs to get her back into season, I don't think it much matters who's cubs they are at that point. But like I said, that's my opinion and depending who you talk to it differs.....but it's a theory that they won't kill their own.

      I wouldn’t think so. It probably can smell them are its cubs or remember the female or so, otherwise it would be just a waste of time, energy, and offspring, and nature is more efficient than that. Plus it probably would’ve been reported on National Geographic and whatever channels that cover bears and such.

      Most grizzly females don't get enough fat on them to well after year 6-7. In this area I know of only one that had a cub at six, with 7-8 years old is the norm for their first litter. This bear was always an early riser in the spring, never showing up with cubs till 2011. If she did have a cub or two prior they didn't survive to trip from the den to the valley.

    • @TheBearGuyCanada
      @TheBearGuyCanada  3 года назад +4

      They have the slowest reproduction cycle other than muskox. A lot of times the bears body will determine how healthy she is, and if she can have one, two, or three. Each cub can be from a different male as well. But if she loses her cubs early enough in the spring she will return into estrus and start mating again. Mating season is usually over my end of June and she tries to eat and fatten up for den. She then gives birth late January, early February while in the den.

      Glad you enjoy the videos, there's not too many opportunities for people to actually know a bear's story, and my past experiences and knowledge of this region and the bears, I can share their stories. Your last part, the male ended up stalking her, it took a few days for her to become receptive which is normal. If she is lactating without cubs she will go back into estrus. Once she became receptive, her and the male traveled together for over a week before going their own ways.

    Nice video. It was certainly shot in spring because there was still snow and the cubs were very small. That's the moment when momma bears are the most dangerous because they know the big males are very hungry after the winter and will chase the baby bears without a problem. Later in the summer, cubs have learned to run away from danger (mostly to climb a tree) so she's less protective, but still dangerous if she feels any threat coming to her babies.

      There is a theory that a female will mate with multiple males in the spring with the hopes if he returns the next season he spares her cubs cause he associates them as his own. I haven't seen anything to really make me buy into this theory and honestly believe if he's making his rounds he will kill cubs if they keep him from mating with mom. With that said, what I have seen is a male will blitz an area, mating with as many females as possible, than not return for a few years as he hits other zones.

      Nature is cruel, and when you work with animals, especially the predators you have to be willing to accept their way.

Unfortunately this is part of the life cycle of a grizzly and many other animals, a side many "bear lovers" either don't know or prefer to not to know. To love wildlife, you have to accept the good and bad, despite how sad and tragic it can be at times.

      Bears don't think like us, but they stress and definitely have anxiety. If you saw a female the day she lost her cub for 12 hours she was stressed to the max, she was visibly upset and on a mission. When the cub was presumed gone she continued to look and ended up finding it. Dealing with grizzlies as a job I got to see their personalities and behavior, they do operate primarily on instinct, but they are a thinking animal, recognizing dangers like other bears, certain people, certain vehicles.
