Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home Grizzly Bear Van has lost the seal that he buried and suspects the crew might have taken it.
In this episode, the world-famous salmon run arrives in Alaska. The bears must catch hundreds of these fish if they are to bulk up and survive the harsh winter months. We discover that young grizzly mum Parsnip and her cub Pushki have returned to the bay to feed on the salmon. But predatory adult bears will kill cubs and, with fierce competition, Parsnip must protect her cub and learn the skills of fishing if they are to both make it through hibernation.
As winter approaches, life gets more intense, survival gets tougher, and the threats get even greater.

Can you imagine how much self-control it takes to override your fight-or-flight instinct and remain chill AF?
I would've fainted.
More than I have for sure
Avonlea Montague isn’t it easy with popper spray?
Balls of steel veins of ice
I'd of shit my pants on the spot
Thank god that bear had full command of the english language!
Haha
😂🤣🤣
It is vocal tone that they say the bears pick up on. Thus, calm talk in English is more for the speakers. Sorry to be so literal minded. I get your joke
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nothing makes you feel safer than a ponytailed man protecting you with a can of habanero
Edit- thanks everyone for the most likes I’ll probably ever get lol glad I could brighten up your day even if only a little
Chris Eversole bawhahahaha 😂🤣😂🤣
Lol
Nah bruh need a 44 or sum
😂😂😂
Im sure saying "Good boy" makes the bear feel at ease.
that bear be like: 'who the hell is Van??'
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAHA
that's what threw him off, probably confused his ass
MrYellingdingo 😂😂😂
MrYellingdingo 😂😂😂😂
Now show us an example of what happens if you stand up and scream at him. For education
IKR
lol
ruclips.net/video/jVhdepNboE8/видео.html There you go.
Lol
Your comment made me laugh. I've always wondered why no one uses fire crackers when being threatened by a bear, if they don't have a gun that is. I'm sure in some cases it would save your life, the noise would probably drive them off.
Me: "I'm gonna come over to your left, for the sake of the windage on this"
(Starts sprinting off)
Dead bro😂
Lol
never run from a bear . you are for sure lunch .
Lmfaoooooo
Lol
Bear would've used that pepper spray to season their carcasses.
Bear spray can stop any bear. Bear spray is one of the most dangerous sprays. That’s why it’s called BEAR SPRAY
@@HOODCHRYMER fun fact, since bears dont know how pepper spray works, regulations were enforced keep bear spray as a dialed down version of the kind that we use use on people. They also smell better and breath bigger breaths than humans si it doesn't need to be that strong. Its just in a can similar in size to a riot can because the need of multiple usage and human errors (missed blasts)
@@HOODCHRYMER HAHA wow you now nothing, Bear spray is WAY weaker than high quality spray. And SEVERAL people have died or almost died after spraying a bear with it. It is no guarantee, at least nothing like a well placed rifle shot.
Lol
@@George-nx5lo You gun nuts are hilarious. There are several reported cases of bears taking multiple high caliber shots to the head mid charge, and still making contact, and falling AFTER the attack. So congrats, you shot, the bear, but it still got to maul you. Their skulls are thick, as are their hides.
Right here on RUclips, you can find a video of a grizzly bear taking a point blank shotgun blast to the face, falling to the ground, then getting up to repeat the charge.
Multiple reports done by wildlife agencies have also compared the efficacy of firearms against bears versus spray, and I've yet to see a report done by any reputable agency that says firearms are more effective..
Bear spray is less powerful than human pepper spray, you are correct. However that is because a bear's nose is a hundred times more powerful than ours, and they take massive breaths.
"Bear spray is a very effective deterrent when used properly. In a 2008 review of bear attacks in Alaska from 1985-2006, Smith et al. found that bear spray stopped a bear's "undesirable behavior" in 92% of cases. Further, 98% of persons using bear spray in close-range encounters escaped uninjured."
"Van, we're not challenging you."
_translated into bear:_
"Blah. Blah blah blah blahhha blah."
People and animals alike can distinguish differences in tone.
So it's not necessarily about what you say, but more about how you say it.
@Franz Huber You are the idiot. This bear is Van (5 years old). Please dont be idiot. Thank
Heimskr's Wisdom how do they know his name is van!?
@@thee_ag they asked
Name tag
You can't outrun the bear but that doesn't matter if you can outrun the guy next to you.
Maybe the bear likes a challenge? Maybe the bear thinks the faster human is the healthier leaner meat and the slower one is sick with tainted meat?
@@truman5838
That's what the pepper spray is for,
It flavors the meat of the slower guy
I'm going to Victoria B.C. the end of the month. I'll be sure get me a can of bear spray and have a short fat guy by my side everywhere I go. Lol
@@truman5838
Good man
Planning ahead is important!
@@manbearpig5907 Yup. So when are we going hiking? Lol
Bears usually look friendly, just by how their face is shaped, but this guy looks scary
Diego Nunez 😂bear looked like he just got out from a 30 year stretch for a crime he didn’t commit lmaoo
I blame the people filming in almost inhabitable tundra/wilderness.
They wanted to rumble with a jail bear
Lord Of frog ur everywhere
Yeah he's no Winnie the pooh
He's probably been fighting with other male bears.
"This is how people get in trouble, with the wrong body language... standing amd waving their arms... like this!"
Van spots him waving his arms and does a quick u-turn...
Sam Latifi I was thinking the same thing
lolololo
Sam Latifi FIRST THING I THOUGHT
😂😂😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAHA
I’m going to go ahead and get behind you. You know because of the (wind) 😉. Lol
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Hide behind someone. Good strategy.
BAHAHAHAH i didnt even think of that
He said he was going to get on the other side of him because if he had to spray the wind would of got the guy on his left . Not get behind him lol
@@joshuashepherd2058 200 iq
"The wind" aka...I just shat my pants!.
"I don't wanna see that, you don't wanna see that"...
I wanna see that
João Ribeiro how do u not get more credit for that? Thats funny af
Lmao
Hell.....I was playing the dead in my bed while watching this video
IKR
Lol! I hadn't realised it but I was staying as still as possible
20th time watching, still feel like this 🔼
Hilarious! Definitely scary enough to make anybody play dead , even in their own bed! That was hard to watch! Lucky guys BIG time!
🤣🤣
Convince me that there wasn't somebody behind you, off camera, with a loaded rifle in case of emergency lol
Ofc it was lol
No need. Bear spray is far more effective by data. Gunshots hardly ever kill a bear instantly. It usually takes five shots to bring them down on the spot. While the bear is bleeding out, it can easily kill its attacker. The bear spray gives him such sensory trauma, and breathing difficulties, he wants no more of it.
@@Nagy50Magyar That's not inclusive of all the facts. Guns are extremely effective, but 90% of the time it's because the gun shot alone scares the bear, so you don't even need to shoot it.
@@kaio37k You are saying what you want to say, not facts. Fish & Wildlife Service has compiled data on this, so you need to stop wasting my time with your fantasies.
@@kaio37k You are making things up, while contradicting peer-reviewed studies. That qualifies in the top five percent for arrogance, ignorance, and stubbornness. Waste my time once again with your mindless prattle, and you will be talking to yourself.
I didn’t know Bill Maher had so much wildlife knowledge
Loool
And Sean Connery did narration for nature documentaries
@@ataxcollector695 I’m pretty sure that’s actor/comedian Billy Connelly
_New rule..._
Bear: Yeah, I'm gonna walk, not run, over there and maybe I'll eat ya. I'll decide when I get there.
The bear actually understands 30 languages and retires in Florida
"I'm gonna come over to your left... for the sake of windage" aka I'ma hide behind you so it gets you first lol
I believe he was planning incase he had to use the Bear Spray. The wind was blowing towards the cameraman, so he was trying to avoid spraying him.
lol thats f**ked up haha
It amazes me that Timothy Treadwell managed to live with these bears for as long as he did.
Still got eaten though lmao
Lol, all these commenters saying what THEY would do and how it would be so much better than what these guys did, but these guys got out alive, and have some awesome footage that all of us are watching from the safety of our own homes, so how about giving these men kudos and credit and thanks.
they almost got that bear killed...they arent hero's! If the bear had attacked a human , it would have been put down by the authorities. Getting way too close to this bear could cost the humans and the bear their lives...why take the risk just for some 'photos'
@@maxdamage4259 That always pisses me off ...
@@maxdamage4259 if you against it so much, why dont you just stop watching video/'photo' to support them?
Demelo F right on
Yeah like these BBC people have no experience with wildlife haha
Poem by Van...
Did you steal
My seal?
I'm two years late, but this is one of my favorite comments in RUclips history lol, thanks!
I love the way they talk to the bear as if the bear understands
Love the way he kind of ambles over to then in an indirect way...
This guy knows what he's talking about. He read the bear's body language, head down, swaying direct approach then started to circle.
This guy knows nothing about bears, he just got lucky and he is a bragger you can tell that!!
Jeff Everett and how can you tell that?
@@jetflyer62901 Because of the crew behind the camera guy, the bear veered off to the right when he seen multiple people which in the bears mind is not approachable. If it would have been (just) the two guys then he would have at least got a lot closer and that's usually when humans (panic and either run or spray) and shit hits the fan! Bears are instinctual killers and two people don't really bother a bear as far as them being scared or spooked, but a group of people somehow is overwhelming for there mind to conceive. I have lived at the base of a mountain for years and i (Never) all through the years while my kids were growing up let just two play outside alone. I would make sure all the kids went out or my wife and i went out if it was just two kids because we had lots of bears come into our yard. These guys were safe unless they done something dumb like spray or run, the bear might have even came right up to them sniffed them and walked away (but most humans panic at that point!). We have had bears amped up because someone let the dam dog out and nothing amps a bear up more than a dog, we have had bears chasing our dog right by us within a couple feed, just go right by us and try and eat our dog.
This guy is a dumb ass, just lucky one time... next time it's his neck! Ripped to shreds!
@@jeffeverett830 so what do you do if a bear approaches you?
The Bear thought twice after noticing the size their balls hanging out
falco830 LMFAO
Yeah this statement comes up all the time. Overused.
James Dunn So true, it surprises me, why those pubescent ball comments continues to get so many upvotes.
😂😂😂
big raw dangling meatballs would look good for them, no?
"this is potentially dangerous" - wtf did you expect standing in the middle of alaska for the whole day?
ciao9987 good one, lol
A cookie
Trump and hitlary on the trip
To see Russia from my house.
Bear : Who the boss here ???
Crew : You sir, Mr. bear....
Bear : *THAT'S RIGHT !!!*
They actually did steal the seal to troll the bear.
no, watch the complete documentary, the story goes on....
😂😂😂
Idiots.
I was kinda expecting the bear to throw gang signs and yell square up cuh
The bear stopped mid track and did a 180 when the smell of diarrhea hit him.
That's a pretty unique username you have there.
Bear: approaches crew
Man with pony tail: "CHARGE!!!"
Didn't know saying "Good boy" will appease a hungry Grizzly. Next time I'm surfing I'll say "good fishy" to the up-close shark.
@bongo155 sharks are highly intelligent
Talking to bears, especially Grizzlys, helps a ton.
Vans not interested in being a good boy 😂
No, Van is not working at being a good boy, but he is.He displayed a sense of justice; once his sense of smell proved that the suspects did not have his cached seal, he did not rip them up just because he was upset. Bears adhere to their own, rather rational rules better than we do to ours.
Van may or may not have murdered multiple bears in his lifetime to keep his dominance as the king of Katmai national park.
I like how he says for windage purposes and gets behind the camera man.
Lmao. Thank you!
He had to make up some bullshit excuse.
Affiliate Wireless No it makes sense, he wanted him to come around that side because the wind would blow the smell of human towards the bear.
He's also the one with the bear spray, so he actually does need to care about wind.
Here’s the truth- the cameraman was shitting his pants so the other guy needed to move upwind from him. 😜
Oh my gosh my heart was pounding watching this.
Ur a pussy....smh
Bear: *Casually wallking*
People: "your the boss"
This is one of those videos where I regret being single, because there was one of those critical moments in this film where abruptly grabbing someone's arm and going "Raaawr" totally went to waste.
How many men with high powered rifles pointing at Vann off camera?
John Smith 👌
@John Smith Bullshit
😂😂😂😂😂
@@miarawks Yeah you suck that finger
@@miarawks Suck that finger
1:45 man look at the size of those paws!!
thats the scariest thing for me honestly is those claws....just shred someone up in no time and i do alot of hiking in bear country in cali so more just black bears......
That little can of bear spray had me cracking up.😂
That's because you re utterly uninformed. Why don't I send you a little can of weapons grade plutonium, and see how it cracks you up, literally?
@@Nagy50Magyar But... it's bear spray... not freaking plutonium
@@Ytremz What the hell do you mean by that? Are you in a twisted zero sum world in which there is no continuum between bear spray and plutonium?
@@Nagy50Magyar Do you regret that comment yet? Are you really this animated about bear spray?
If the pepper spray doesn't work on the bear, it will probably slow your buddy down just enough.
That was cold lmao
hold my beer... come here Skippy
Hold my bear*
Good boy van...u just scraped my scalp off van 😜😂
Yeah, Thank you for the free haircut Van....lmao
Approaching a restaurant for a meal and noticing the menu does not contain your favourite dish.
Ponytailed dude's dog at home going..."Hey! WTF? I thought I was GOOD BOY?"
That was horrifying
That bear got too close. Those men are very fortunate to live after that.
Both cameraman and showman where incredibly lucky to have such a talented guy wisely telling them what to do at those circumstances. Such a majestic creature! A huge boar grizzly, must have been at least a 500-kilogram beast! Definitely a jaw droppin, thrilling experience, but somehow inspiring. Let’s keep wild places WILD, so the king of Alaska keeps balancing the ecosystem.
@JustHereToComment. There's always gotta be one idiot in the comments, and here you are... These guys are only alive and un-maimed because they did the exact opposite of what your youtube-expert opinion suggests they should have done. It is pretty much universally accepted that when in a confrontation with a brown bear, you stand your ground, remain calm, and speak in a soft voice so that the bear can hear you, but doesn't perceive you as aggressive/threatening. It's no coincidence that once these guys further submitted to the bear that he became satisfied that they weren't challenging his kill.
You are thinking of the rules of engagement when dealing with a large cat (in Alaska, obviously that's the mountain lion). Kneeling or turning your back in the presence of a large feline is akin to activating their kill switch.
JustHereToComment. .... they did just kneel for a brown bear. And it was the correct thing to do. You saw it on video. Haha wtf
@JustHereToComment. That's one of the most stupid things I've read this week.
@JustHereToComment. You are an idiot.
@JustHereToComment. this is the only video I seen of an approaching grizzly in which the humans kneel or get low and talk softly. In all the others the people remain standing and talk to the bear pretty firmly or loudly: A lot of hunters seems to hell, "hey! Hey, Git out of here!," etc. And it has worked.
“Your a good boy Van, you go play now”...good boy
First sign when a man is shitting his pants in fear..He starts talking to the animal.....
What?
*Famous last words:*
"Heed my warning, Van.
The Safety Latch is coming off this bad-boy" ( an aerosol can).
LMAOOOO
Wow, Van completely heard and understood english-what will they think of next? Amazing! LOL.
Van completely understood the situation in any language. The smell of his lost seal was not on them, so he had no reason to do anything to them.
Reminds me of a large black bear we saw at Glacier NP. We were hiking and came to a Tsection. I looked left and saw a large bear with a long snout about 20-25 ft away. WAY TOO CLOSE!! I saw its large black eyes. Everything got quite and I felt like things were going in slow motion. Because we were hidden a bit by bushes and trees we just slowly backed off. The bear didn't react to us and we were fine. But I was really scared. I've seen bears run and there's no escaping them if they decide to chase you. This footage was very scary. Kudos to the crew for keeping calm.
2:16 ponytail prepares to use unwitting cameraman as human shield 🤣🤣🤣
One day he'll accidentally pack a can of underarm deodorant.
This how people get in trouble, standing like this, t posing a bear 😂
Bear: aight I’m out I saw that bear spray, you thought I’m dumb.
Crew waits til Van is half a mile away before shouting at him "Hey Van!! Arf Arf Arf!!"
Damn, good for them the bear knows english...
I didn't know RUclips is full of bear experts.
Nemesis T-Type
I agree, if you mean the comment section.
that guy was so amazing being so calm and talking to van
I like the communication tactics by the camera crew.They have a understanding they should kept him as their pet
Relying in a guy the carries a tiny bear spray sounds like they're really at the mercy of the Bears
"I'm gonna come over to your left to ff-for the sake of the windage on this." puts the camera guy between him and the bear in case anything pops off lmaoooo
never mess with a bear that has a mangled ear. 😂
The ponytail man really wanted to run, but he couldn't because his balls of solid steel were weighing him down.
Awww, I felt bad that the bear lost his seal. He was really looking forward to that meal and didn’t understand what happened to it.
i think any more critical thinking and these guys could've been lunch
Good name...he's as big as a van.
Think his name is vahn
Smart man to line up with the wind 💨 for spray. If the wind is in your face, say good night
Giving this bear my seal of approval, he's a good bear!
Awesome creature, but held my breath for the whole duration of the video! Hats off to you all!
2:17 “I’m gunna come over to your left for the sake of the windage”... translation...I’m gunna hide behind you real quick chief I’m boutta shit myself.
Good lord I’m getting goose bumps just watching this I can’t imagine how they felt.
I love it how they speak to him as if he understands what their saying
Speaking to bears actually helps, look it up.
Amazing! Crazy how we're often told the wrong thing this guy obviously knows his stuff!
Doubt he understands English
But they understand calm body and vocal language
they understand the tone and body language
Grizzlies are fluent in French, Spanish, English, and Russian. That's a well-known fact.
LMAO
He probably only understands Inuit
7 years old and still one of the better videos on the internet
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly
He doesn't become a snacc
Imagine this thing charging at you full speed KDJSKSNSKSKS
Just press A or D to strafe and avoid getting hit.
would never reach me since there is my safe space he has to tolerate
plot twist:
Van is a paid actor.
You must have the pepper spray with you. The bear may need some spices for meat.
Great move. You could tell he was listening to your voice. Huge beautiful bear.
Pucker factor: HIGH
It seems like the bear was maybe smelling if you had the seal.
Yes, that explains it, good observation. 👏
Very possibly true
How is backing away showing submission, but kneeling down isn't? This footage is incredible. They are very brave and I'm grateful to see the behind the scenes, hearing how the photographers work in such conditions. I find every moment fascinating. BBC always has such beautiful cinemaphotography.
*_Great lesson & good way to put it, “we’re submissive, but we’re not scared..”_*
@Semper Fi Exactly. If you weren't scared, you wouldn't need to be submissive.
Bear: Van who the F!@#$% is VAN ? My name is Roger and your F!@#$%^&* ed!!
😄😂
I've been hiking all my life and every time I come across a bear, or any other predator, I throw money at them and that will calm them down. Cash, loads of cash, it never fails.
i guess girls are predators
My heart is pounding. It’s too bad he lost his seal. Wow.
Well I'm not complaining.🤷🏾♀️ If you guys didn't put yourself in harm's way I'd NEVER be able to see these wonderful animals!! Thank you and please stay safe!💓
Van wanted all the smoke
I would have shit my pants. Just by looking at the claws of that thing...
Huh.. 5 years ago, eh? Wonder if it's still active.
I sound like I'm talking about and ancient tombstone lmao
Standing up and screaming is a great move...if its a black bear. But yeah these guys aced it.
He’s walking toward them the same way my dog walks toward me when she wants to play 😂
Dude coming thru with the Bill Maher energy
Luke Carberry lol
Amazing wonderful creatures, but they are terrifying at the same time. I want them be on this planet doing their thing, but dont come to my neighbourhood. I sure as hell won't come to yours.
This just shows how important communication in life really is... Especially non verbal communication
Threatens = casually walking close to see if you have his seal. LOL
Van was very reasonable.
van is such a good boy
Lmao!!!
"Better not to carry antibear-spray"

Very intelligent intuitive guy!!! Need him around when I live in the forest next year!!!
That stare the bear gives them in the beginning is terrifying enough.
