Timothy cared for the bears too lived with them 13 years and was eaten both him and his girlfriend. The pops was koo tho and mama koo too they do really care for thos animals but that's what they are... animals. Not humans.
@@leevonbradshaw4665 We get it you watched grizzly man but these are not even remotely the same. These people have captive bears who imprinted on them. They think of them as their parents. They have never been wild. Timothy went out into wild bear country into their territory and got eaten by a starving wild bear. I guess you rather these bears have died or locked in a cage for the rest of their lives? Because they could not survive in the wild.
@@mdb1010 i understand what you suggest; no... but I would rather those bears at some point since you excite an inhabital concern to be set free. Your guess would be wrong however, hypothetically why not? A bear must start somewhere. Now, the story line suggest over ninety years these bears have been apart of this particular family. Yet to become attached in origin bears are all wild. Without doubt I think it is not awesome to domesticate what is intended to be wild and to earn an income in such fashion. It's not right. On the other hand to avoid that truth is avoiding the principle of societal law: protect. Those bears are wild via nature. Yes any animal can show love or tolerance. Once they realize the difference between freedom and captivity... love send captivity is gone forever. Now that's man's fault. "These bears are great with us but they wont be great with others" the "parent" of one had stated moreless. Meaning, those bears are of course wild, and would in fact 100% survive in the wilderness. They'd become extinct soon or later because people will never understand to leave things in their natural habitat. I believe a captive is worse than wild subject if we can ook at the zoo's of our world for instance. Yet then now one shudders homes. Bears are not dogs. Tigars are not kittens. Some of us learn the hard way yet we still learn in the end.
@@leevonbradshaw4665 they showed in the video the bears would not survive in the wilderness because they don't fear humans and the training to get them to fear humans isnt a full solution either because though the video doesn't mention it. bears survive from skills they observe from their mothers. a without those skills with choose to forage and get closer to humans to eat trash putting the bear in a dangerous situation where they will likely be shot.
The level of instinct and IQ on them not to hurt you with them big claws, and be gentle when they grow up. They certainly have to be aware of that...and that is just incredible. Humans have to respect nature and animals in it.
It's just the same instinct they have to use with their own young and when they are mating. Otherwise they would not be able to stick around for their cubs like most mammals do.
well the thing is, some cannot survive or be re-adapted back. It's natures cruel way of saying, " you aint welcome back". Example, white tigers, and bears have a VERY extremely difficult time re-adapting and end up being man eaters or something else. nThe only way is if they could change the color of the white tiger and introduce the bear to a PARK managed by keepers that feed it. I read somewhere that they also can't compete with the wild ones once they are beyond a certain age. They have lost a lot of instincts and physical capability.
@@nicholasdepina2944 That's not necessarily true, the unhealthy mentality is thinking that animals in general can be domesticated or be friendly with. This is a very unusual case, however, were they had a very long developing relationship with the bear.
*These individuals are like Earthly angels, each serving a unique purpose. Thank you all for being so kind to the bears - I have a special love for them*
You can tell a difference between these people. That bear ranch, was heartwarming. The other guy said “hey stop that, you know better”, had me rolling.
You would never find a intruder in your house, just a trail of diarrhea leading off your property or a wallet and watch in the bears poop the next day.
These 2 people have committed their lives to the care and wellbeing of these bears. The dedication that’s required is more then the time and care parents put into their own children. By age 12 your kids friends have more sway over you kids then the parent has I mean good parents as well. By the time your child is 16 most parent are not investing large number of hours per day into their child. But these bears need just as much attention today as they did as cubs. I hate take my hat off a salute this couple for their dedication. I can watch these bears all day
And now we have the results of such a parent-child relationship. Pure anarchy and a desire to willingly give up control of one's own life and destiny en masse.
I know, I get exhausted thinking about it. It's definitely A lot of time and money. I know it has to be very stressful worrying about whether you're going to have enough finances and food to care for these animals.
Amen. I walk a 75 pound Shepherd/Border Collie along with a 130 pound Black Lab/Mastiff. They are the best boys, but if they get onto something and are willful; I am a key chain. I worked at Bear Country USA in the '70s In the bear pen, there was always the chance that "Sugar" would be in the van parked at the bottom of the observation tower. Always regard non-domesticated animals as wild.
The Bear graveyard. I’ve always had animals, not any bears of course, but I’ve loved every single animal I’ve ever had. I can relate to that loss, as I’m sure most people can who have lost a special pet/pets. 💕
Same here, totally choked up when that couple showed the headstone and got emotional. It shows just how much they care for and love their furry family.
I feel your sorrow & grief. Animals are sent to us as a gift. They are Angels to make our lives a little happier & lighter. Your babies are adorable. God bless you guys.
Animals were not sent to us as a gift , They were here millions of years before we were here lol. It's their planet , we are just guests, but i guess you are right in saying they are a gift , well the ones that get cared for like these majestic beasts.
A bond between wild animal and a human is something to be treasured. These bears may be part of the family but that bond is more special than a family bond in my opinion.
They are beautiful, you are amazing people to help these great bears. It's takes a split second,,,they have genetics built in that makes them killers. Tame or not I hope you two live a full life.
them having experience with a human they might have a slight change in their genes kinda like domestication but of course it'll take a long time. I don't know if some of their kind became domesticated I wonder what size they would have
I’m so sorry to hear about Jimbo passing away as well as the other man who’s wife and son have continued the family tradition of caring for the bears.I know that both of these men are tremendously missed.I hope all is still well with all of you.
I'm really blown away by how huge they are! A human head looks just like a simple peanut to some of them! Like they could just crack it open with one single bite 😱
The size of his skull is amazing. Short work to have human remains.. . . not insulting you at all, I respect you what you do in helping these beautiful bears.
It's really awesome what you're doing with these bears i used to be a hunter and one of my dreams was hunting 1 of the bears but I would never do that now. One day I believe that when the Lord come down to establish His kingdom will be able to get close to all animals and enjoy them. What a glorious time that will be. I have 2 dogs that they are my best friends and so loyal to me and seeing how you interact with these bears brings joy to me seeing you and these beautiful animals. God bless you and your family
@@Richard-cr2fo Well, Jimmy, their biggest bear, is a very large Kodiak bear. Kodiaks are about the same size as polar bears so Jimmy is probably just as big as a polar bear.
@@thunderball11111 You are right, but kodiaks are still a bit smaller than polar bears on average. Jimmy is quite massive so he probably is the same size as a male polar bear.
Just amazing the love and bond you two have with your bears. It's like a family, they are your children. They look so happy. You're just a bunch of wonderful people, your bears will never know hardship and will live so much longer, happier then wild bears. They choose to live with you. We have cats which are an inch away from being wild, they choose to live with us, their not really pets, they look at us like we're their parents.
That's the type of situation that can get really dangerous. Bear A snaps at bear B who looks up and takes a swipe back at - oops - human! My uncle's doberman bit my head when I was a kid because my dog got up in his business - he turned, saw me, thought I was the culprit and snapped. It all happened in an instant. The dog realized his mistake immediately, but the damage was done as a 3 year old kid is sitting there with blood streaming down his face. Insert a full grown bear into a similar situation and you're talking dead person! I commend these people on what they do and would LOVE to spend time with a big bear (I'd risk it!), but these fantastic animals are and always will be dangerous.
I was blessed to stop and see this, I'm always watching random things on RUclips trying to learn more. I'm 40 and still it's so much to learn about people and how they live, and care for nature and others. Sometimes I feel my country is just falling behind until I see these type of angels at work..
It's amazing to see something that is known to be able to shred a person in half with one swing of it's claws and yet be so gentle like a big fluffy teddy bear and the size of them , it's a beautiful thing to watch & see the love they have one another 🐻🐻👍💙
It warms my heart that these bears have been given a chance at a good life, even if not in the wild. Sometimes that option isnt really available. What matters is that they're treated with respect and cared for.
Now, imagine a bear literally twice that size. Short faced bears must have been an incredible sight, they were twice as big as our brown bears of today its almost impossible to imagine.
They weren't twice the size of Kodiak bears. They were twice the size of grizzly bears. And Kodiak bears are about twice the size of grizzly bears. Short faced bears would just appear larger because they had longer legs, but they would be about the same weight or just a bit heavier than a Kodiak bear.
Good hearted people They are well aware that even a relationship such as this can go south, and yet they do it with great compassion for the bears needs. Selfless service to wildlife creatures. Amazing to me.
I probably will be one of those people that will criticize about having a bear as a companion. The people in this segment know what they're doing. They know the boundaries and they respect and love this animals. They do not treat them as pets. They worry about the well being of these bears and that will tell volumes
Such an awesome video. Being from Massachusetts we have a place in new Hampshire called Clark's trading post. It's a place to go and see people that have bears, but all we have in this region are black bears. But to see Kodiaks and grizzlies, is awesome. Much respect to everyone in this video trying to protect the bears. Because like what was said. We as a human race are impending on their natural habitat. But such an intelligent animal. They are awesome. I still remember going to Clark's when I was 8-12 years old. And I'm 45 now.
I find it amazing how people can have these as there animal/pet or whatever u wanna say and keep it tame for 20 years and etc without anything happening more than having a lion or tiger. I always felt like bears are more a calm animal and lesser chance they attack u like a lion or etc would and felt like bears are alittle like dogs to some degree
@John Smith No, people are scared of them because they can become aggressive when hungry or defensive. Especially certain breeds. The tamed ones like these obviously not so much, but out in the wild yoj would do well the avoid them.
there's also guys on YT like the Lion Whisperer who does the same thing with Lions that these people do with bears. It's all about the animal being raised from birth by these people and being fed and trained. If these conditions are met, than even the most deadly predators will likely not attack their loving mammal caretakers. There are only a few mammal predators that I can think of that will attack even when all their needs are met and they're well taken care of and that's ones where their instinct overpower ANY training they've received, like with Tigers, tigers are very aggressive and unpredictable compared to other big cats. Lions, cheetahs, jaguars can all be lifelong friends but tigers could betray you at any moment from numerous examples we've seen. But even with them, there are also examples of people owning pet tigers and them being totally fine, so in general i think almost any mammal predator can be trained to not attack and be friendly with humans.
@@thekamotodragon It's not so much about the species but about the individual animal's character. Some tigers are super calm, others are unpredictable under the same care.
It's unbelievable how massive they are. I'm glad there are people like this to care for these bears.
Q lindoss los quiero mucho
the people who cage them and destroy them mentally ... thats not care
that kodiak bear is 9 foot tall sitting down... not standing up
thats not caring, this is ridiculous. This is stupid , naiv as hell.

when jim started crying my heart broke, they really care for these gorgeous animals

Brown bears possess apelike intelligence.
They should be in the wild, but sometimes that can't happen. I think it's great these people take them in,& care for them. My hat's off to all of you!

Same here, it had me choked up for a couple mins. Just goes to show how much they genuinely love their furry family members.
Me too
I laughed idk why.
Imagine moving a dead 1400 lb bear. That requires some assistance.
I see you couldn`t bear it.
These are some well loved bears. Extremely healthy and well fed. I’m amazed at their sizes.

Ain't no way in hell,smh.....

Yeah. I was sad to hear about that. Jimbo was truly a phenomenal bear.
There is a lot of trust, instinct and respect when in contact with wildlife. It is good to see these bears are cared for since they were orphaned.
Bless these people. They are just incredible!
I did not realise how gigantic they actually are.
To me they seem happy and healthy and very well fed and cared for.
You are good people!
Respect.
A bond between wild animal and a human is something to be treasured. These bears may be part of the family but that bond is more special than a family bond in my opinion.
Of course, you don't choose your family, and they can very well be a**holes... This here is a relation based on trust and love
You are angels to help these amazing animals. I love bears. I am grateful for people like you. Thanks for everything you do to help the bears.

So much better than caged up in some zoo! Good for these people! Far to many species gone because of humans.
We are too many 😑
I would love to hug your bear. He looks so gentle.
OMG! I would love to snuggle the ginormous bear's face! 😻

Most?
thats ok - bc they have better character than most humans!!
@P.J. Fleck Most people aren't lucky enough to have time to binge watch youtube videos. Get off your American ignorance lmao.
Yeah well they dont have to work just get fed
You're husband was a great man I have no doubt the bears feel that loss but they still have you and your son 💗 they are lucky to have you 👍

They are such beautiful animals, but I’am perfectly fine with watching them from a distance. God Bless them and their big fur babies ❤
I like the bears. They'll never hold you up or steal your belongings or lie to you.
Ya man they’ll just eat you whenever they feel like it
@@skinnypeen8845 yeah nah
@@skinnypeen8845 They wouldn't do that if they know you unlike Humans which betrayal happens a lot than animals do.
I probably will be one of those people that will criticize about having a bear as a companion. The people in this segment know what they're doing. They know the boundaries and they respect and love this animals. They do not treat them as pets. They worry about the well being of these bears and that will tell volumes
Such an awesome video. Being from Massachusetts we have a place in new Hampshire called Clark's trading post. It's a place to go and see people that have bears, but all we have in this region are black bears. But to see Kodiaks and grizzlies, is awesome. Much respect to everyone in this video trying to protect the bears. Because like what was said. We as a human race are impending on their natural habitat. But such an intelligent animal. They are awesome. I still remember going to Clark's when I was 8-12 years old. And I'm 45 now.
I don't know how they can bear it all, but they are doing a great service. How beautiful a sight to watch all the hugging and kissing!
Great Job. They look so happy. It is nice to see people who love animals this much. :)
You are awesome people!
9ft tall on his hind legs and 1400 lbs?!? That thud u just heard was me passin out at the sight of this guy
Magnificent animals.. when they stand up they look awesome... beautiful and fearsome at the same time
I find it amazing how people can have these as there animal/pet or whatever u wanna say and keep it tame for 20 years and etc without anything happening more than having a lion or tiger. I always felt like bears are more a calm animal and lesser chance they attack u like a lion or etc would and felt like bears are alittle like dogs to some degree
@John Smith No, people are scared of them because they can become aggressive when hungry or defensive. Especially certain breeds. The tamed ones like these obviously not so much, but out in the wild yoj would do well the avoid them.
there's also guys on YT like the Lion Whisperer who does the same thing with Lions that these people do with bears. It's all about the animal being raised from birth by these people and being fed and trained. If these conditions are met, than even the most deadly predators will likely not attack their loving mammal caretakers. There are only a few mammal predators that I can think of that will attack even when all their needs are met and they're well taken care of and that's ones where their instinct overpower ANY training they've received, like with Tigers, tigers are very aggressive and unpredictable compared to other big cats. Lions, cheetahs, jaguars can all be lifelong friends but tigers could betray you at any moment from numerous examples we've seen. But even with them, there are also examples of people owning pet tigers and them being totally fine, so in general i think almost any mammal predator can be trained to not attack and be friendly with humans.
@@thekamotodragon It's not so much about the species but about the individual animal's character. Some tigers are super calm, others are unpredictable under the same care.
It's beautiful to see people still care about animals.
