I had no idea they had bears up at San Dimas Experimental Forest. All us high school kids used to go up there on a regular basis in the 1970s and I don't recall seeing anything larger than a rabbit. I loved that area and the drive up on GMR was always fun.
People forget how biodiverse California chaparral and oak woodlands are. There used to be wolves, grizzlies and jaguars here, among other countless species.
I'm catching up on about a year of videos, so haven't seen them all. I have yet to see a coyote in your videos. Probably they like more open areas, but I would think they would show up occasionally while just passing through.
Most of my hiking has been around Baldy. Never been in the area above Glendora on foot. Never seen a bear or lion on a hike but came face to face with a bighorn sheep once and some rattlers on several occasions. I'd ask you where you have your cameras but no doubt that would be top secret. I'd like to know where they are so I can know where not to go. Yikes!
@@vicm694 No doubt. But most of my hiking has been at higher elevations and I suspect there are a lot more animals at lower altitude where there's more food and the weather's better. I have done some hiking above Pasadena, Arcadia and in the Claremont Wilderness Park area but haven't seen large animals. The most impressive sightings I've had were the Bighorn Sheep and a large deer that jumped out from behind a bush in Icehouse Canyon in the Baldy area. Those were at about 8,000 feet. I've never been very concerned about animal encounters, even on trails where there have been lion attacks like Mt Lowe but when I see these videos of lion FAMILIES strolling along a fire road north of Glendora, it does make me think. What if I'm hiking alone. What if the lions haven't eaten in a while. What if I'm looking particularly tasty that day. What if.............................
@@martinmaxwell1530 yes they definitely are at lower altitudes I just did mt Wilson yesterday at midnight and ran into 2 bears... Pretty intimidating but they don't mind you just give them their space!
I see lots of Gray Foxes in the videos but never a coyote. I think coyotes like more open areas, and they especially like area near humans. Lots of stuff to scavenge, golf courses and open lots to hunt on, and the occasional pet to catch.

The expression on the first bear's face was priceless LOL Loved the feisty skunks.
Great captures as always, thank you! I love the experimental bear walking by the experimental forest sign, and the dancing skunks.
Great video. Love the diversity of species AND the diversity of behaviors the animals were performing. Thanks for posting
I won’t be hiking there. It was kind of scary that boy hiking where all those bears and mountain lions were.!
Im about to go hiking there tomorrow with my kids. Suddenly im thinking maybe not no more after this 😂
Baths, balls and pee. This video has it all!
HAHA! I’m glad you noticed.
@@humpermonkey Hard not to notice!
Strange and unusual animal sighting @ 3:55.
The most dangerous predator of all!
@@jonothandoeser Serious.
Excellent compilation, great action and video quality.
Thank you Janet! I really appreciate that.
The view of the peeing was unique. Don't see that too often.

Thanks so much I really enjoyed the video.

I think you'd be surprised on the activity in many of the places you go at night.

Kathy L I think so, was that a coyote or a fox?
D Motta I think that was a fox.
Yes it was raining and that was a gray fox.
1:30

Notice how often we see coyotes&deers mountain lion&fox sighting are very rare
