Lovely moments, Otis return always puts warmth and peace in many hearts. These compilations are great and what sweet treat when there are coys wondering around. :)
Thank you so much Explore! Watching these bears is an amazing and beautiful thing. It brings me sense of peace in such chaotic times. I adore watching and looking for Otis, he makes me so happy! Thank you again for bringing these bears to us. ❤️🐻❤️

[ LOVE OTIS 🥰
OTIS!!! YAAAAY eat good old-timer!
I'm really happy that Otis is back this year. And my second favorite is 164 Bucky Dent! He's so smart. I love watching him fishing in his spot under the shower!
Thank you for bringing paradise to our youtube feed.
Otis, my man!
So Grateful to see King Otis return for another year!
i hope otis wins the fat contest again, he has best skills catching fish
OTIS! I am so happy to see him again
Those pink, purplish skies are breathtaking.
Impressive how well they can get along despite being solitary hunters
Beautifully done. Thank you Explore for providing us with the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful place and the wonders it shows us daily.
I love watch 910 and her little cub
. Especially when momma stands up and her little cub copies her.
Thank you so much for this beautiful video! Love the cubs. And they all have their own technique to catching the salmon. It was so nice to safely see these incredible animals!
So happy Otis is back, so now I can stop worrying if he's ok or not! I love him so much! ❤🐻
What's OTIS in full name?
@@mooisimooi8002 I don't think it's short for anything if that's what you're asking.
My gosh, so spectacular! Just to be able to observe them do what bears wanna do.
Absolutely beautiful to watch, brought a tear to my eye 🥰 I’m a new watcher, sending bear hugs from Australia!
Reminding us once again how important conservation is !!!
Otis and Lefty I’m such a happy bear watcher 🥰
Looks like 747 almost lost his ear. It reminded me of Lurch, when he was alive. He was an aggressive bear.
Go Bears!! (raises fist).
Did Otis eat some fish????
he did!
Thank you for share this taste of Paradise , Just to Watch this , reconcile myself with everyday Life ❤️🐻🇮🇹
This weekly summaries are great. I can’t watch 24/7…so a little highlight of the week is a great way to keep on top of life at the falls. 👍
I don't like when Otis gets jacked for his fish, old boy deserves his respect. LOL 😘🐻
I am new to the Falls cam and am catching up on names and videos. This is so much more interesting than most of RUclips and people need to get back into nature more. This helps those who want to be a part of it but can't physically go there. This is when technology gets it right. Ty for this experience and I can't wait to see more 🥰
So thankful to be able to see the bears!! And,of course- long live Otis!!!
So great to time into brooks falls and see old friends have arrived. Didn't know if Otis would make it but there is that big ole boy. Made me a little misty.
katmai is a slice of heaven and the bears are our furry angels. I love watching and want to thank explore from my heart as it was a life line when I was ill and in bed way too much. I have fallen in love with the quintessential teddy bear otis and wait for his arrival like a beloved family member. he is even in my prayers for a safe return. America is so blessed with these beautiful parks and animals. with my deepest appreciation to explore for bringing the experience into my home. thank you
Amo os animais❤
The best week and just so happen to be lucky enough to have caught the whole thing being a first time viewer. But I'm here for good. This is my therapy. It soothes me. The falls are a sleep aid. I am in absolute love with these bears. I love MaMa Grazer and 747. I also of course, love Otis 💜💜💜💜💜 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻
HOW OLD IS OTIS? SWEET BEAR💞
Otis is somewhere between 26 - 29yrs old....The Rangers # a Bear only after the same Bear ruturns to Brooks Falls/River 3 years in a row...which establishes their "making a living location" ... although some have been #'ed...were at the river for 3-6 yrs and havent been seen since which is usally not a good sign...but on occassion there are bears that show up for 3-4 years then dont come back for 2-3 years...then out of nowhere pop back up..
Back to the KING, OTIS, THE ZEN MASTER 1st appeared at Brooks falls was in 2001 is my understanding... he was estimated to be about -3-4yrs old...So basically a new little guy on his own for the first time most likely...He returned in 2002 then again in 2003 & officially #'ed...He has not missed a season since 2001...anycase, in 2003 he would have been about 6-7yrs old (again...I'm guesstimating & I'm old like OTIS too...so can't remember off top of my head )..."typing out loud"...what I can not remember but will go with is his estimated age being based on his 1st appearance vs when they numbered him...I'm positive he was 1st noticed and logged---(not numbered but logged, charted or whatever the term is) in 2001....Became official part of the Brooks River Bears in 2003 ..
However, if go with him being numbered in 2001 means he 1st appeared in 1999 (again, never heard of anything prior to 2001)...so if he was use 3-4yrs old & 1st showed up in 1999 ..then wouldve been numbered in 2001 & been around 7yrs old...fast forward, either way, puts him in the 26-29yrs old range...somewhere around in there...
I hope I didn't cloudy the water too much...Point being, he is the oldest. most recognizable, most proficient and efficient Bear on the river ....also the most consistent ...He was never a sissy Bear either (don't think I would call any of those Bears a derogatory name even in gist) back in the day was the most dominant at Brooks River and kinda strange but also most resspected...at least seems like that....Especially this year, the bears that have been going to the river for past 5-10 years or longer ....it's interesting to witness them almost display or project respect to OTIS...most of the time...I realize all Bears are trying to survive but really wish one of the capable males would put a hurting on the noobie to the river who is causing issues for many...the really dark adult male..not a small boy but appeared this year for first time....he's the one that steals fish & really hassles OTIS...I literally became angry and screamed at the computer monitor when he kept taking OTIS catches the 1st day... Otis's 1st day and there's this newbie jerk Pirate Bear who stole like 5-6 fish that Otis caught in a row ... not gonna lie, was hoping OTIS would have a pow wow with a couple of the younger big males and be like the Godfather...pay them 10 fish each to send a message...or to make the Pirate Bear an offer he can't refuse....I don't want to see a life-threatening injury but wouldnt hurt my feelings for a few Bears to step up for OTIS and send NEW BOY an emphatic message...just to make certain Pirate Bear know...paws off OTIS's catch ...stay out of his office and don't even look at him...or as the saying goes...gonna have to pay with a pound of flesh...literally...
Anyway, not to end on a negative note but being realistic....When Otis appeared this season I think every person, ranger, and even other Bears who are familiar and been watching or the bears were shocked...yet so happy to see OTIS...A lot of new people in chats I've noticed question why OTIS gets so much camera time...1st) because he can and 2nd) He literally is a legend...an icon....he will be talked about and compared to 100s of years from now....if didn't know, to visit Brooks Falls people either must use a float plane while most use basically a water ferry (a boat)....the Ferry Boat's name...Not THE ORCA or THE SEA-ME-LADies or something silly like that... it's simply...SS OTIS...of course, with OTIS...he may shock us again next season and we hope so but most have that gut feeling this is his last hoorah....He will probably be the last Bear to leave the River as the Light of the day becomes blanketed by the on-rushing darkness of the long winter....as OTIS begins his journey to wherever he has "Home Sweet Home" set up...He will likely turn back to glance at the bear cam one last time ...his good bye to all of us...then wabbles (waddles??) into the "sunset"...just pray he makes it back to his den and has a peaceful rest when that day does arrive...most likely we will never know nor should we...we're blessed to have this gift by Explore.org to be honest....
HOWEVER, FOR NOW, NEW PEOPLE AND LONG TIMERS FEEL BLESSED EVERY SECOND WE GET TO WATCH OTIS THIS SUMMER....Always sad when a great athlete plays in his last game or a Naval Aviator makes his last trap on the boat...or has his/her final flight in whatever jet they fly...knowing they will never..ever fly in that type jet again ever ...as a passenger or a pilot...
Yet in life...with every beginning there is an end... the differences are how people and personalities like OTIS decide or do go out....So enjoy while you can...and for those who will be around 5 years from now...check in on the Live chat....remember my words when I say that OTIS (if he is gone by then), his name will be brought up every single day by more than 1 person...
oh 503 is back..awesome...
Beautifully done!
👍❤❤🥰
Thank you Explore and to all the park rangers. Brooks Falls is a magestic place.
Glad to see our old cast of familiar bears returning, especially good old Otis!
Please give details re: how you identify each bear. To me they all look the same, except some are larger than others.
Love these compilation videos! Thank you!
These Best Of videos are so helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing the beautiful bears
These are nice beautiful bears!!! 😍😚😙
The best ever! Thanks for the highlights
Weather is warmer than previous year?
What a find! Your channel is a constant joy and tonic to the modern world. But how do you tell the bears apart?
Honestly its hard! Many bears have identifying markers like scars, ear shape, muzzle shape etc. Rangers also use behavior to identify bears. Some bears prefer fishing spots or have specific fishing styles. The Bear Book also helps. www.nps.gov/katm/learn/photosmultimedia/ebooks.htm
Amazing video
Ja ja he stole the salmon
brilliant!
I wonder if the remember each other or is it new every time.
😁😁😁
I love this video My ❤ 🤍 Thank you Explore
