  • This bear, known as 747, is a real giant who weighs about 1,400 pounds in late summer. Bears get fat to survive winter famine, and 747's well-endowed proportions set him up for success.
    At the beginning of the video, another adult male bear (#474), avoids the approach of 747.
    More info about my 2017 trip to Brooks Camp can be found at fitznaturalist... .

    Frequently asked questions about this video
    1. “Is this bear pregnant?”
    This is a very large adult male (look closely when he stands up and rubs his back on the tree). Even if this bear were female, we wouldn’t be able to see physical signs of pregnancy. Female brown bears undergo a process called delayed implantation where they mate in late spring/early summer. After mating, fertilized embryos don’t implant in the uterus until she goes into the den in the fall. Cubs are born in mid-winter and only weigh about one pound. Since cubs are so small when they are born, a mother bear’s abdomen won’t be distended to a point that we could notice.
    2. “Is this bear injured? It seems to walk strangely.”
    This bear is a dominant adult male. He can walk normally, but his stiff-legged gait is purposeful. He’s “cowboy walking” (no joke, that’s what it’s called) to display his size and dominance. While he cowboy walks, he’s also urinating on the ground to mark his presence in the area. He rubs his back on the tree for the same reason. His gait, the cowboy walk, is intended to show other bears that he is dominant.
    3. “Are you making fun of the bear’s fatness?”
    Definitely not. in fact, his fatness is a mark of success. Brown bears need fat to survive and the most successful bears, those who have eaten the most food, are seasonally obese. This bear uses his fat reserves to survive winter hibernation when he does not eat, drink, urinate, defecate. In late spring, before salmon have arrived, he still relies on his fat reserves to fuel his pursuit of female bears during the mating season. Fat bears are successful bears. They must eat a year’s worth of food in six months or less to survive. The title of the video highlights on aspect of this bear’s success in a tough world.
    4. How much does this bear weigh?
    Thanks to an unusual use of terrestrial laser scanning technology, we have an estimate: about 1,400 pounds (635 kilograms)! Read more about how National Park Service staff reached this conclusion here: blog.explore.org/how-big-are-the-fat-bear-week-bears/
    5. Why is this bear called 747?
    The U.S. National Park Service has a bear monitoring study at Brooks River through which biologists visually identify individual bears, photograph them, and assign identification numbers to track yearly and long-term trends in bear use along the river. The bears are not tagged, collared, or handled in any way for the study. They are identified through their physically and behavioral characteristics only. 747 was first identified as an independent juvenile bear in 2004 and assigned that number at random. He's returned to the river ever since. More info on the Brooks River bear monitoring program can be found in this program I hosted with Katmai National Park's wildlife biologist Leslie Skora. ruclips.net/video/cfgPB5LfAws/видео.html&ab_channel=ExploreLiveNatureCams

      There are turtles as big as that bear. I'm not saying the bear is small but this vid reminded me of a turtle video I seen the other day where giant turtles as big as cars were running to get food and one crashed in a tree. And their running speed is about as fast as a slow walking grandma using a cane.
      I'm still amazed at how big those turtles were. The top of their shells were as tall as the people in the video. It was a zoo video and they claim that the vid was not edited and it's their real size. They were gigantic. I've watched so many nature shows and vids and seen a lot of turtle footage and had no idea they got that big.
      That bear couldn't do anything to those turtles if they went in their shells and they could probably bite massive chunks out of that bear.

      @just Greg, my parents home at the lake had a 3 mile drive from the Highway. I looked to the side and a bear was going just as fast as I was. He was on the obstacle course of fallen trees and ant hills. I couldn't believe how easy he made it look. It scared me at the same time.

      Hippos and elephants are the same way, much faster than a human can run. It's anthro to assume a big species is inherently slower, but people still do it.
