It's common wisdom that if you're fishing in bear country and a grizzly walks up, just give them your catch. A couple of trout and salmon aren't worth losing your life over, and the bear is likely to be more interested in the free meal than the human backing away.
My late husband, while at Yellowstone National Park, wanted to get a particular picture at Sunset. He got there several hours early and found the ideal location. He made himself comfortable and sat down. It was apparently a beautiful late afternoon, and fell asleep. He woke up, hearing grunting, chomping, and a little dust blowing in his face. He said he looked around and he realized he was gonna be there for a long time. When he came to the spot, the clearing was empty. At the moment I heard a bison had decided it was time to graze. He was totally surrounded. he realize he was close to the front of the bison so it’ll be a while from the move all the way through. He had no idea the size of the herd because he couldn’t see. He was not going to stand up. They had no real interest in him, only casually. A few will stop and sniff. One of them bump with its head, he said it was gentle for such a big animal with such potential. The herd at one point was so thick he couldn’t see anything around him. he sat quietly, wondering if he could somehow slowly get his camera and take some pictures. Then it was afraid that the sound of the shutter, my startle the heard. He didn’t wanna do any of those things, for fear of being trampled.. …… There was still sunlight, even though that heavens were full of color as a sun was slowly sinking into the mountains. When he heard a jeep wandering across the Prairie, blowing its horn, an idiot on a megaphone yelling something. The herd panicked. At that point, they broke into a run. By some miracle, they went around him. He didn’t get hurt in anyway or even bumped. The same cannot be said for his camera, which had been still intact and undisturbed, until the stampede. My late husband said his life passed before his eyes. The Jeep pulled up next to him and a park ranger got out … he was furious. Announcing that it was against the rules of the park for him to be so close to the animals. It was dangerous to sit in the middle of a herd of buffalo. Blah blah, blah blah blah…….. I know my late husband, he was burning inside, and when he gets that angry, his voice gets quiet. He told the Ranger what he thought. He walked back to his vehicle carrying the remains of his camera, and drove directly to the headquarters at Yellowstone. Which is where the Ranger was going. My late husband was gonna get charged for something. The Rangers first….. then my late husband. As it happened, my husband had relatives working at the park. None of them were on duty at that hour. The head of the department that was on duty that whole hour was a toothless tiger. But, my late husband got the point across. I didn’t take much for the head of the department on duty, to realize who was at fault…. If you’re sitting in the middle of a clearing, sound asleep, and I heard of bison surround you, my late husband did exactly what he supposed to do. Don’t move, don’t make any sudden noises, and wait for them to pass. The next day late was up bright or early and in the Rangers office again to talk to someone that had power….. My late husband got his camera replaced or fixed. I’m not sure which. The Ranger, I don’t think lost his job, but there was a reeducation in order.

I would be just a tad concerned if a lion cub laid just a little too close and a little too comfortably beside me. I would be very afraid of the whereabouts of his mama!
Lions tends to not recognize humans as prey, that is why there were so many encounters that didn't turn ugly. On the other hand, a Lion that for some reason can't get catch it's normal prey and in desperation eats a human quickly learn how much easier humans are to catch and have to be killed to stop their killing spree.
@@znail4675 It happens from time to time. Still hippos are the most deadly animal in Africa, followed by elephants, which both have a very friendly image.
Reason why Rhinos are so aggressive is because they're legally blind, and they are on predators hitlist. So they're not seeing a camera man in a vehicle, they're seeing something big, moving on their turf. When they don't have to worry about predators, such as in captivity, they're basically just massive golden retrievers
@hmspretender they do that on purpose to generate Comments pointing it out. It works for that Video but some People are turned off and won't watch anymore Videos from that Channel
@@palimpalim5291 Yep. Gorillas are herbivores, so they only eat plants, so the only reason they would ever attack is when they feel they or another member of their family is being threatened/attacked. Otherwise they have no interest in harming anyone/thing else. As long as they don't perceive you as a threat, they'll likely leave you alone or may even become curious about you. Plus, in terms of genetics, Gorillas are actually very close relatives of humans. Just a few changes to their genetics and they could pretty much be human. They're also extremely intelligent, to the point that they can learn and understand sign language. There was even a Gorilla named Koko who befriended both Robin Williams and a small kitten. Poor Koko was visibly heartbroken when she learned that both Robin and that kitten had died.
I was in the woods here in the eastern US, waiting patiently with my camera for two deer downhill from me got closer so I could get a good shot. I waited. They never came close, so I gave up and as I turned around, there were five deer not ten feet behind me. They did not run. They just looked at me like they were wondering what I was doing. They did run when I turned the camera their way though. I never got a shot of a deer that day.
I live in a semi-rural area of Vancouver Island, and have an above ground pool in my back yard. I have watched successive generations of deer from my pool. This year, there is a yearling buck and his sister who visit every day. They came to my yard with their mama, when they were just tiny fawns. I talk to them from the pool and they will stay until I stop talking. Beautiful, inquisitive creatures.

@@mixamasl I have heard that some animals do that on purpose to actually just neuter the victim. Fully knowing of it removing the process of having kids.
Hyenas do this a lot. How to put this in terms yt likes... An injury like that means the animal is on a clock. It's not like it can bandage itself. Same goes for ripping off the "exit hole".
It's always kind of funny how amazed people can be when animals manage to determine the two big qualifiers for acting chill: 1) You aren't a threat RIGHT NOW and (if its a predator) 2) Im not hungry and you're weird.
A friend of the family who was ex special forces did all the photography for Discovery, Nat Geo etc, he had a family of rescued meerkats in the UK raising them to be released abroad one day, among loads of exotics but I'll never forget the meerkats, they're more loyal than dogs, love to play fetch, neck scratches and belly rubs, sleep on you like Garfield and will follow you literally everywhere you go.
There are no records of cheetahs EVER killing a human in the wild. Like any wild animal they should be treated with respect, they're not considered dangerous. The Persians used to domesticate cheetahs and use them like hunting dogs, similar to grey hounds or lurchers.
FWIW, a cheetah is probably the safest big cat you could meet. They're not especially strong, and have weak jaws (for a big cat) and blunt non-retractable claws.
Kevin is amazing for rescuing all the animals he has. I saw the lion baby park documentary and my heart was in my throat. His animals have been exposed to humans but are still very large, wild animals and I hope he stays safe. He respects them, it's amazing watching his interactions.
It was an eurasian brown bear!!! They tend to not kill people unless they feel threatened, (particularlly if mama bear with cubs). They also are smaller than grizzlies and tend to avoid conforntation. Even though some idiot a couple of hundred years ago classified all bears as carnivores (including the giant panda!), the only carnivourous bear is the polar bear, all the rest of them are omnivores (like us), and pandas live in all practicallity like herbivores because they are dependant on bamboo for survival.
@@AnneAslaug well I’m not gonna argue with you bro but if you look at that bears gut, it is freaking packed so maybe that had something to deal with it too, but I’m not an expert. Although I still think that’s Hella lucky
@@johnsmind Honestly, I found it mostly strange. Normal behavior would not be to sit down right next to a human for any wild animal not used to people. Wondering if it is an escapee from a park, or even something mentally wrong with it. Or just like you said, so full it isn't totally aware of it's surroundings. Also we know that cats can develop dementia, so I find it quite likely that the same goes for other mammals as well, and could be a possibility. Have u seen "Grizzly Man"? Highly recommended! Wathcing young bears graze like cattle is prizeless!! And the one that ended them was a 27 year old male from a different area that wandered there at a time when the "local" grizzlies had gone onto hibernation, so something was definitely wrong with it.
Dean Schneider and Kevin Richardson are great human beings dedicating their lives to the protection and conservation of wild animals. They are both angels who love their lions and respect them as well. Great men doing great things for their creatures. God bless them both for being able to love, cared, respect, and support each of their animal companions. They are loved in return with the love that only animals can give: unconditional love and affection. The greatest love that exists. Love the video, it is very informative and interesting. And a special THANK YOU to the wildlife photographers, they did a superb job taking photos of precious and magnificent creatures. I bet they had fun with them, having these beautiful creatures around themselves. I believe they have the greatest job on earth! My respect to them, hat’s off to all of them. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍
@@Highheels4ever Kevin has gone a long way to change the way people see hyenas. They are extremely intelligent, with a complex clan structure. They are not evil, cunning creatures. The original Lion King gave hyenas a bad name, like Jaws did for Great Whites.

I am so enthralled at the whole business of being able to capture these moments with some of the greatest gifts that have been given to us!!! I think you are all the BEST!! What would we do without you?!?!?! Thx X one million! ❤🎉❤🎉
I have to say: Sharks are probably the poorest bastards in the animal kingdom. The two deadliest animals are by a VERY long shot mosquitos and the killer bee. Ever since Jaws dropped people are unnecessarily antagonizing sharks, which I honestly find incredibly sad. Even dolphins (in captivity) kill more people than sharks (in captivity) and for some reason we all like them...
You're being overly simplistic. I've been bitten by thousands of mosquitos over the course of my lifetime and I was fine. I was bitten by a shark once and my juggling career was ended. Way more people die in the light than in the dark, yet for some reason people remain scared of the dark and not the light. And btw, sharks kill more people than dolphin. And I think you should seriously consider re-evaluating your own ability to process information
@pmbbmp Well, it's hard to argue against someone, who has literally experienced a shark attack himself, so I will not try and do that, but I still wish to say, that anecdotal evidence is not a good way to go about things. I agree, that sharks kill more on average than dolphins, but the fantasy of the nice dolphin is also 100% flawed. Dolohins literally kill and rape for fun... What I maybe mean to say is, that the picture of how dagerous an animal really is usually has very, very little to do with how scared we are of it.
Respect them they will Respect you ,animals are wonderful creatures,nature gives us so much to have and hold ,and enjoy and must at all times preserved what is given to us .Nature is a beautiful thing every animal must be protected.
These nature videos are always BS. Back in 2010, Backshall travelled to Norway for an episode of Deadly 60, meeting a scientist called Tess at a research station where she studied wolves up close. The wild wolves were already well accustomed to Tess, they are literally climbing on top of her and licking her face. This is not some random encounter, you can see the fence lines running around the area. Despite what the narrator says the wolves were completely expected.
Boris was lucky the cat liked his hair, that would of been so cool, I always wanted a serval cat, they are beautiful... I love animal videos, because I love animals.
Then of course there's that one antarctic photographer who had a leopard seal believing he was an infuriatingly disabled leopard seal and tried feeding him dead penguins. Gorgeous and hilarious moment.
Only on this planet can you see something as incredible and fascinating as these encounters... on other worlds you will have it (sand, ice and rocks)!!! Enjoy this world while you are alive.
I cannot be a wildlife photographer. Whenever I see these cute animals I would automatically pet them all! Hahahha. And maybe I’d be dead after just one assignment hahah

Hyenas do this a lot. How to put this in terms yt likes... An injury like that means the animal is on a clock. It's not like it can bandage itself. Same goes for ripping off the "exit hole".
It's always kind of funny how amazed people can be when animals manage to determine the two big qualifiers for acting chill: 1) You aren't a threat RIGHT NOW and (if its a predator) 2) Im not hungry and you're weird.
1:18 The bear (scientist) was observing the technique for gathering fish, nothing wrong there
A friend of the family who was ex special forces did all the photography for Discovery, Nat Geo etc, he had a family of rescued meerkats in the UK raising them to be released abroad one day, among loads of exotics but I'll never forget the meerkats, they're more loyal than dogs, love to play fetch, neck scratches and belly rubs, sleep on you like Garfield and will follow you literally everywhere you go.
Sweet isn’t it? I love to hear about these people and their experiences. It’s so awesome
0:17 You can't once in a while *tend to* do the unexpected.
20+ years ago in Kenya:
A cheetah, barely 5 feet away - I aged 10 years within 10 seconds... but best photos ever.
@@antongromek4180 I'm Kenyan and while living in Ngong before more development, I had an encounter with a leopard as a teen.
There are no records of cheetahs EVER killing a human in the wild. Like any wild animal they should be treated with respect, they're not considered dangerous.
The Persians used to domesticate cheetahs and use them like hunting dogs, similar to grey hounds or lurchers.
@@speleokeir I'd still be scared as shit xD
FWIW, a cheetah is probably the safest big cat you could meet. They're not especially strong, and have weak jaws (for a big cat) and blunt non-retractable claws.
The predators are super calm, but the sheep is unnecessarily violent. This feels like a metaphor for society, doesn't it?
Kevin is amazing for rescuing all the animals he has. I saw the lion baby park documentary and my heart was in my throat. His animals have been exposed to humans but are still very large, wild animals and I hope he stays safe. He respects them, it's amazing watching his interactions.
Wildlife photographers have to be so patient to get the rt shots. Thank u for this clip! 🌹🐾🌹
The bear that sat next to him had Just Eaten A LOT and was full. THAT's why he didn't bother. Nothing but lucky.
Grizzly bears don't eat humans...they just beat the bark off you and go...hopefully. Bears in general, want nothing to do with humans.
@@johnsmind Probs mistook him for a Fisherman… They tend to leave the fish trims behind for the wild to clean up. Bear was like, where’s the fish?
It was an eurasian brown bear!!! They tend to not kill people unless they feel threatened, (particularlly if mama bear with cubs). They also are smaller than grizzlies and tend to avoid conforntation. Even though some idiot a couple of hundred years ago classified all bears as carnivores (including the giant panda!), the only carnivourous bear is the polar bear, all the rest of them are omnivores (like us), and pandas live in all practicallity like herbivores because they are dependant on bamboo for survival.
@@AnneAslaug well I’m not gonna argue with you bro but if you look at that bears gut, it is freaking packed so maybe that had something to deal with it too, but I’m not an expert. Although I still think that’s Hella lucky
@@johnsmind Honestly, I found it mostly strange. Normal behavior would not be to sit down right next to a human for any wild animal not used to people. Wondering if it is an escapee from a park, or even something mentally wrong with it. Or just like you said, so full it isn't totally aware of it's surroundings. Also we know that cats can develop dementia, so I find it quite likely that the same goes for other mammals as well, and could be a possibility.
Have u seen "Grizzly Man"? Highly recommended! Wathcing young bears graze like cattle is prizeless!! And the one that ended them was a 27 year old male from a different area that wandered there at a time when the "local" grizzlies had gone onto hibernation, so something was definitely wrong with it.
Wild predators expect pray to flee. They're super confused when you just stay motionless.
Dean Schneider’s critters adore him. It is a joy to watch.
That little lion cub was like a director, he sat at little chair too :-D
Animals have one rule with them "Don't disturb me and I won't disturb you too. "
the gorillas seeing the mans hair like "look, hes one of us!"
Father God Promises that one day things will be like this All the time ❤️
Oh,I so look forward to that day!!!
@@TJswan007 Amen to that
Then what's everything going to eat?
@@TJswan007 it will be a beautiful earth when everyone and animals are as one!
"Don't pet the animals"
Animal: No problem, bruv, I'll pet you instead.
That's your evidence.
Humans are equal to wildlife.
We're wild, and we're life.
Let's keep it that way, civilized.
On study as a zoologist, i had a near pet baby seal in Washington that hung out next to my deck with my dog. They were friends. Cute.

This was so much fun to watch! Keep up the great work. 😍😍😁😁
Dean Schneider and Kevin Richardson are great human beings dedicating their lives to the protection and conservation of wild animals.
They are both angels who love their lions and respect them as well. Great men doing great things for their creatures.
God bless them both for being able to love, cared, respect, and support each of their animal companions. They are loved in return with the love that only animals can give: unconditional love and affection. The greatest love that exists.
Love the video, it is very informative and interesting. And a special THANK YOU to the wildlife photographers, they did a superb job taking photos of precious and magnificent creatures. I bet they had fun with them, having these beautiful creatures around themselves. I believe they have the greatest job on earth! My respect to them, hat’s off to all of them. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍
@@Highheels4ever Kevin has gone a long way to change the way people see hyenas. They are extremely intelligent, with a complex clan structure. They are not evil, cunning creatures. The original Lion King gave hyenas a bad name, like Jaws did for Great Whites.
It’s so cool to actually have a wild animal come up to you and be friendly ❤!!!!
Watching this video, you can see that even wild animals can connect with humans.
The lion relaxing next to the cameraman is the best.
Yeah specially the polar bear.
I got a pack of wolfs near my house I been hearing for the last few months. Love living in the forest mother nature is my true home 💓
If there was ever any proof required for "cameraman never dies" lore, this is it.
The day the cameraman used his catnip shampoo was memorable.
Oh to see real men!...men with cameras...instead of the gutless cowards with guns!
Would you say that if you were hungry?
@@QUICKIRONS why the hell you do wanna eat endangered species 😂
Wait, I thought factory farms were bad. 😂 Its almost like lifeforms eat other lifeforms.
Wanting to protect your own life makes you a coward???
8:34 Every man watching just felt *THAT* footage for sure!
That has to be the best photo ever with baby lion on stool. ❤
Male kangaroos absolutely terrify me! No animal should be that muscular. 😳😩😂
Your opening title pic is awesome, that lion cub is perfect.
Wow, nature always has a way of keeping us on our toes! It's incredible to see such unexpected moments captured on camera. What a reminder of the wild’s unpredictability!
Kevin Richardson is seen as part of the group by the hyenas. He's higher in hierarchy so he was able to do so. That was no random encounter.
Funny how so many guys like that eventually end up like that guy who thought he was buddy-buddy with the grizzlies.
@@4FYTfa8EjYHNXjChe8xs7xmC5pNEtz You may want to read up on Richardson, he's under no illusions, no ego, no arrogance, no 'god complex' etc issues there at all. Very much fully respects the animals, what they are capable of, the danger etc.
Yet another proof that cameraman never dies
13:28 The moment this lion cub thinks it's a photographer. Oh my gosh, I love these animals so much! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
00:27 their deerest animal friends 😊
Noticed it too
GET OUT OF MY HEAD! AHHH
They just couldn't resist that pun 😂
Further enforcing the legend that the cameraman always survives.
Everybody knows the camerman never dies.
That sheep was so angry it morphed into a goat.

The innocence of most wild animals. They come to meet you and don't attack. Marvelous animals.
3:00 I think I've seen this story. Those wolves were raised by the guy and he brought his girlfriend to meet them. The wolves are like "Oh shi its my BOY HOW YOU BEEN DUDE.! Who dis? She smell like you. This yo b dog?! My boy!" Slaps hand.
Oh that makes sense. Wildlife photographers aren't supposed to interact with wild animals, but since this guy raised them I guess it's an exception
C'est extraordinaire cette proximité avec les animaux sauvages... On s'aperçoit bien que, si l'être humain n'a pas d'intention négative envers eux, ils le sentent et se comportent paisiblement... Ces vidéos sont magnifiques ! Merci de les partager avec le "commun des mortels"!!! 🤗
Silverback is the name given to the mature males - not the who group
I am so enthralled at the whole business of being able to capture these moments with some of the greatest gifts that have been given to us!!!
I think you are all the BEST!! What would we do without you?!?!?!
Thx X one million! ❤🎉❤🎉
0:23 "Their DEAREST animal friends." I see what you did there. 😏
@@Madamecat7 My deer friend Nokotan 😂
Hey, BooBoo where’s the picnic basket? 🙏💕
I have to say: Sharks are probably the poorest bastards in the animal kingdom. The two deadliest animals are by a VERY long shot mosquitos and the killer bee. Ever since Jaws dropped people are unnecessarily antagonizing sharks, which I honestly find incredibly sad. Even dolphins (in captivity) kill more people than sharks (in captivity) and for some reason we all like them...
@@helopilotr you are very correct. Dolphins are a complete menace to us and even to some fishes. Misunderstood creatures both of them
Bees and mosquito are animals? Didn't know that I always thought they are insects 😅😅😅
@@Ian-mj4pt insects fall under the animal kingdom
You're being overly simplistic.
I've been bitten by thousands of mosquitos over the course of my lifetime and I was fine. I was bitten by a shark once and my juggling career was ended.
Way more people die in the light than in the dark, yet for some reason people remain scared of the dark and not the light.
And btw, sharks kill more people than dolphin. And I think you should seriously consider re-evaluating your own ability to process information
@pmbbmp Well, it's hard to argue against someone, who has literally experienced a shark attack himself, so I will not try and do that, but I still wish to say, that anecdotal evidence is not a good way to go about things.
I agree, that sharks kill more on average than dolphins, but the fantasy of the nice dolphin is also 100% flawed. Dolohins literally kill and rape for fun...
What I maybe mean to say is, that the picture of how dagerous an animal really is usually has very, very little to do with how scared we are of it.
The photo of the cub relaxing next to the camera man is awesome🌎
Yes, it is!
So lovely to see all these wild animals who could live together with humans. TRUST is the word.👍💗💗💗💗
This video proof cameraman never dies💀
Respect them they will Respect you ,animals are wonderful creatures,nature gives us so much to have and hold ,and enjoy and must at all times preserved what is given to us .Nature is a beautiful thing every animal must be protected.
@@VashtiPersad-w1r ❤️❤️❤️
These nature videos are always BS. Back in 2010, Backshall travelled to Norway for an episode of Deadly 60, meeting a scientist called Tess at a research station where she studied wolves up close. The wild wolves were already well accustomed to Tess, they are literally climbing on top of her and licking her face. This is not some random encounter, you can see the fence lines running around the area. Despite what the narrator says the wolves were completely expected.
@@betsyduane3461 bro really took offense to this video lol
@@mossybeewasteland You must love lies.
@betsyduane3461 idc if it's real or not in this case i just needed a video for background noise🤷♀️
This is a beautiful reminder that just as we want to get close to creation. I think they at times want the same.
The camera with lion bite marks should go to a museum.
Boris was lucky the cat liked his hair, that would of been so cool, I always wanted a serval cat, they are beautiful... I love animal videos, because I love animals.
The lion cub in the thumbnail looks like a toddler trying to figure out what dad is doing
I love the Meerkats. I had a ferret. He was so sweet and entertaining.
7:29 Bruh😂😂😂😂 they are doing something CrAZy😂😂😂
Kevin Richardson has his own foundation.
I love watching his hyenas. He laughs and giggles with them and they love it.
The guy with the gorilas look like he is about to pee himself and also having the best time of his life at the same time
15:50 “look how this cat graceful lands on it feet” shows cat falling face first on the ground. 😂
Wolves are loyal. Great video. ❤
❤❤ greetings from America we love you and wish you peace 🕊️✌️✌️🕊️
Then of course there's that one antarctic photographer who had a leopard seal believing he was an infuriatingly disabled leopard seal and tried feeding him dead penguins. Gorgeous and hilarious moment.
❤❤ thank you for giving happiness 😊😹 to the world 🌍🌎 it is needed 😢🎉🎉
"At thumbnail"
Baby lion: Hey! Bro that's mom and dad,. Can you take a picture for them? Heyyy!! Daaadd I'm here!!!
Camera man: Ruuuunnnn!!
Only on this planet can you see something as incredible and fascinating as these encounters... on other worlds you will have it (sand, ice and rocks)!!! Enjoy this world while you are alive.
I cannot be a wildlife photographer. Whenever I see these cute animals I would automatically pet them all! Hahahha. And maybe I’d be dead after just one assignment hahah
Imagine the meercats on his head start doing it, it would be hilarious lol!
Please grow up.
I’m sure you’ll love that
