Trail Camera Setup and Pickup: Hidden Mountain Pool (Arizona Wildlife)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 ноя 2024
- This pool was a nice surprise to find while hiking in the middle of our drought here in Arizona. It led to some of my best ever mountain lion trail camera footage and by far the coolest bear video I've gotten so far. This pool is mostly hidden by the grass and steep terrain around it, which is good for trying to get footage of wildlife. Drop a comment below if you enjoyed the video and tell me which Arizona wildlife you'd like to see more of. Thanks for watching.
Fun facts:
Waterholes are classic ambush sites for predators. Look how nervous the deer is at 08:55.
Skunks will stomp to warn other animals they're about to be sprayed if they don't back off. That's what the skunk is doing at 09:40.
Listen closely at 12:54. The younger mountain lion lets out a little purr.
Species shown: Mountain Lion, Turkey Vulture, Black Bear, Coues Deer, Hog-nosed Skunk, Ring-tailed Cat, Mexican Jay, Gray Fox, Blue Grosbeak, and some sort of bat (please tell me if you know the species).
Trail Camera used: Browning Recon Force Advantage

It is so peaceful and makes me think about how meaningful life is actually. Just being able to be alive and be conscious about it is such a gift.
Now you’re explaining why I always find myself returning to nature.
Remember these times.
@Chet Beej and you aren't?
Amen brother 👊🏽🙏🏽✌🏽

The bear having a bath decompressing from a hard day is everything lol
💯
and then the deer of culture drinking it's bathwater 🤤
It was hot out there. No wonder they wanted to get in.
@@sisterteresamaryelephant3354true 191F
Yeah, well at 100°, I'd be getting in the water too!
Love how the mountain lion just walks up and starts drinking without looking around. It knows it has nothing to be afraid of.
Yeah top of the food chain.
Idk maybe that bear lol
@@elopez9869 yeah but the lions gonna hear big bear boi from a mile away
@@jarrettpeters6225 Bears are super quiet. Big ole boys but quiet
That kitty was thirsty.
The appearance of the second cougar in frame was magical.
🙌
Yes it was.
I loved that mama bear, who leaned agaiant the edge of the pool and let out that long sigh... Tired mother.
🐻
Deer takes a drink and thinks “ damn this tastes like a bear’s ass “
Lol yeah I’ll take my filtered water over that
I was thinking the same thing, that deer was very hesitant from the scent of the bears!
115 degrees?! I’ll drink anything that won’t kill me.
@@RckyMtneer stop promoting yourself, lol
How does it know the taste of a bears ass tho 😳
I didn't think I'd be seeing a bear having a bath today, that really made my day. :-)
😀
And after that, at 8:52, you can see that poor deer having to deal with the smell of that bear. It can smell the bear all over the place, which is terrifying it, but it also needs to drink. It makes you realize just what a golden age humanity lives in. If you think about it, back before the U.S. was a country, if you went out into the wild, and went to a spring, or water hole, you too had to be aware of your surroundings...to make sure wolves, mountain lions, or bears didn't happen upon you. But now, getting water is so casual, we don't even think about it. The greatest golden age mankind has ever experienced, and all we can do is complain about everything. Animals have to constantly worry about being eaten, or killed by a rival. And we cry about them messing up our order at McD's.
I’m pretty sure it was to cool down the temp since it’s late June, it was so sweet tho
I'm gunna have one pretty soon if you're int... wait... nevermind,
@@leroyrussell8766 I love this comment. We do live in the best times possible.
to share this intimate moment with a wild bear is such a privilege
Indeed 🙏
I love how mama bear is like "I just need a spa day" but her kid keeps bugging her. He's so curious and intrigued by everything, since he's new to the world everything he sees is something brand new and exciting. I love nature and all of creation. Please keep these magnificent creatures of the wild safe.
i was thinking the same thing, please humans , stop destroying the habitats of these animals. they deserve to live freely and safely, as much as humans do.
Agree 💯 seeing our Encroachment is very hard to watch and witness...
That also accounts to pigs, cickens, sheep, goats, cows...
They deserve a happy free life.
Also the soutamerican rainforest is mostly destroyed by making space for them. So by going vegan we can safe the aggriculture animal and a lot of wildlife (also ones harmed by climate change) :)
Everyone going vegan would actually require more land mass dedicated to agriculture. To grow plants on an industrial scale, they clear massive amounts of ground and kill every living organism (every tree, every mouse, rabbit, etc) that used to be there. Then they make sure to keep away every animal that wants to eat that food being grown. It’s sad to see something die but killing and eating deer, elk, etc and leaving quality habitat ensures wild animal populations still exist more than the whole world going vegan would. Once land is put to the plow it’ll never be inhabited with the biodiversity it once had (that being said, many farmers do provide more habitat to wildlife than a new city in the same location would). Habitat is the key to the future of wildlife. I’ll never tell someone what they should eat. But there are no simple solutions in terms of “everyone should do this or that”.
Oh Sorry I might have written the same comment twice, I though I deleted it and write it again
The next time you consider taking a drink from a mountain pool, remember it’s also a bear bathhouse
Wise words.
Gotta figure a few smart ass bears use that time to let out a #1 or squeeze out a nasty bear #2 as well.....
🤣😆😂 Yeah I could skip that visual next time I drink from a “clear mountain stream”
If that is the only water around and I am thirsty I would drink it without hesitation, without water nobody can live.
and probably a few tapeworms
Seeing the bear in the pond cooling off and relaxing in the water was very enjoyable to me. And the one with the cub joining its mama in the pond was adorable.
🐻🐻
That first bear was like “ugghh what a grueling day” 😂🐻. It’s so amazing how this small little pond can provide hydration & relaxation to a diverse range of animals!
a complete delight. the most natural footage i've seen - i felt like i was invisible, sitting on the rock watching all those wonderful creatures. thank you
Thank you for the compliment. That’s what I try to do with my videos.
Wow 🤩 amazing footage ! Great work and so enjoyable to watch - this is why we live in the Sonoran desert area 😬👍
It’s a wonderful place 👍
Yes, it was excellent.Thank you. I love this format, catching wildlife unawares in their habitat.
I agree excellent comment
The skunk was my favorite. I love how he charged the camera like he was going to spray. I'm surprised he didn't spray it! What a great camera location. I love all the animals!
👍👍🦨
Me too! So funny! He/she knew something was different.... very smart.
Looks like a badger to me.
It’s a Hog nosed skunk.
Skunk was posting up like he wanted to fight lol
The mountain lion is nothing but muscle . What a beautiful face . A truly magnificently made animal .
Indeed!
@@lindacarruthers3423 Lithe muscle at that.🐆
I love how out of all cats the cougar is the most like the house cat in that they purrr~
Love how the skunk charged the camera! Thank you, this is pure joy seeing this.
Thanks for watching 👍
@@Michael.Outside was the first bear a brown black bear???
@pixieplayz5039 yes ^
It was the only animal that seemed to notice the camera. Makes me wonder if skunks see infrared.
I was amazed by that was so awesome
It's interesting how some animals are smart enough to recognize something different in their environment while others do not. The bear didn't surprise me...that the skunk sure did! Smart little guy.
🦨
He might just be able to see the IR light
Leemur or wtv it was saw it it seemed as well
I love when humans judge the level of "smartness" animals have. It shows your lack of intelligence very clearly.
i don't know if it is "smart" so much as who is at eye level with the bright led light, as the shorter critters seemed to take most notice
That's quite a diversity of wildlife and shows how valuable water is to all the different species when it's scarce and how they're forced to share it
everyone else: *quenches thirst politely by taking in small sips of water*
bears: *sigh, my jacuzzi is ready at last!*
Lol!
I dont think you know what a sauna is.
They're the rich people of wildlife. Everyone dying off thirst while they bath in it 🤔😂
@@MathsOP I do, but I'm not a native English-speaker so I sometimes mix words in my head before typing them. And in this case I was thinking about jacuzzi, but typed sauna. And yes, I know that these 2 are way off from each other in terms of spelling that there was no way you could mistake one for another, but - again - english is not my native language so I think differently to english speakers. Hence the use of the wrong word
@@blabla-rg7ky he expressed better than many native speakers. I understood the meaning.
What I particularly like is the audio quality; being able to hear how different animals sound when they drink is quite enlightening.
👍🔊
Some of the animals seemed exceptionally thirsty and kept drinking, drinking and drinking.
As someone living in England it's great to be able to watch different types of animals in nature at it's best in a completely different environment, very cool and relaxing
Howdy from Arizona 👋
@@Michael.Outside 🖐
Great video. Who knew so many species (and big animals) frequent a watering hole? Note to self - don't camp next to a watering hole.
Especially if it’s the only water in the area.
Lol!!
All animals need water
Exactly what I was thinking. I didnt even think about bears in Az.
😂😂😂
The mountain lion thinking “ this water tastes funny, i think that damn bear peed in the pool again”. 😂
“Wait till I see that bear again”
The sound of the flies is so soothing. It reminds me being in the countryside swimming in rivers
@@BltchErica Awesome
A great combination, and also displaying how stressful it must be to be alert 24/ 7 all your life
Yep. Most people don’t realize what a nervous existence most animals live.
The bears and the pumas seemed pretty relaxed.... But the poor deer😭
Ah these are pumas.
@@lafunk1978 prey nature innit
@@yotu9670 puma, cougar, mountain lion - they are all the same animal, different names but the exact same animal
This is the best trail camera I have ever seen. Such a diverse group of predators and prey. All taking their turn. Very cool indeed!
Thank you 👍
Good stuff.👍
Hey wyd you up?
I was pleasantly surprised at the number of animals who visited here! you picked the perfect spot and the mama bear taking a spa day was so cute! and the surprise of seeing the baby bear was memorable! great editing!
Thank you!
Imagine what baby cow and its mother feels when it's taken away to be killed because people inseminated this cow just for us to have some milk to the coffee
@@Michael.Outside I loved the baby bear. That lil guy was cool af
Sasquatch and cougar had a rather loud discussion at such a water hole near me cAt got a cussing in Siamese
A good lesson in why not to drink water out of natural ponds. GREAT video!
Thank you!
Watching mama and her cub bathe just melts my heart...and what a spectacular treat to watch the cougars drink.
Thank you for watching. That bear clip is my favorite.
I think she lowered the water level by 2"! LOL
thanks for not adding any music! love your work :-)
Thank you!
@reset So right! The lapping water and drinking noises of each animal was a distinct sound. And that bear 😀 with wheezing sighs and groans, as it relished cooling off in the heat. We're not so different.
Great note! Agree totally.
I agree. So nice when you can watch and listen instead of mute
The sound of those animals drinking water and quenching their thrust is so satisfying. It makes me happy
☺️
The second set of mountain lions was so beautiful mother and cub, look very healthy and very beautiful to see them together❤
I had to laugh at the little bear with it’s mama, she just needed a spa day and little bear wanted an adventure. The mountain lions were amazing, though, that kind of footage is priceless.
Thanks for watching. These places are a gift.
Bears are so adorable!😭
Animals: "Ah!..drinking pool!"
Bears: Ah!.. swimming pool!"
The absolute confidence with which the mountain lion approaches the pool is just awesome.
Absolutely 💪
Indeed 👍👍👍👍
Typical cat 🐈
"this is mine now"
I lived with the mountain lions, and don't know how anyone could want to shoot them, or bear.
Omg, that bear cub was so cute. These temperature readings😳. It's amazing to see how a tiny pond can sustain such biodiversity in a harsh climate and landscape. Thank you!
🙏🐻
I love how the bears noticed and were curious about the camera! absolutely loved this video! thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching 😊
They could probably smell the human on it
Did you notice that the skunk went directly to the camera , HE KNOWS WHATS GOING ON
@@aeroripper Or the whole thing was staged?
@@atlantic_love Perhaps he was there for the picnic basket he left behind the camera
We must conserve natural lands and keep water sources clean for all life on this planet. So beautiful. Thank you ❤
Thank you for watching
This is why you don't drink from natural pools.
Dude... the amount of cool animals you get to see there is incredible. And the image quality is just great. Loved it!!
Thanks! I’m lucky to live here.
As a guy who lived on a mountain in Montana for 25 years and saw plenty of wildlife… bears,cougars, bobcats,one linx,wolves ,coyotes,deer ,elk, moose, weasels, ermine , squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, porcupine and more…I thoroughly enjoyed this excellent video, one of the best ever wildlife videos !👌👏😁
That is high praise. Thank you for watching! I’d love to set a camera up in Montana one day.
@@Michael.Outside I will watch your video many times… perfectly done… congratulations. If you get to Montana check out the Tobacco Root Mountains !😁
Thank you. I will definitely do that!
What really surprised me is that this spot may as well be called the community watering hole. The place plays an important role in sustaining the local wildlife. I wonder whether such spots can be man-made as a way to help wildlife, especially in very hot areas. Or would this be interfering with nature? Anyway, very interesting footage.
Yes in the Southwestern United States waterholes are created by different organizations to help wildlife.
We interfere with nature so much in a negative way I think it’s our duty to interfere in a positive way to have at least a balance
@@jddonmoyer2489 agreed
There's man-made ones out there
Yes good idea 💡 to make water holes like that one for thirsty wildlife !!
Everyone seemed to love that bear bath tea. 😂 great footage!
Thank you
I'm watching in England. It's breathtaking footage of animals and birds we don't have here. I was amazed by how the little bear carefully avoided being out of his depth by clinging to the side or to his Mum. It looked quite deep when she got right into the pool. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Thanks for watching! I love when people from around the world stop by the channel.
You used to have those animals there. Unfortunately hunted / killed to extinction in so many places around the world.
@@protectanimals9792 Yes indeed. Thankfully there are some efforts to reintroduce 'lost' animals like the wolf and the beaver. Other efforts are being made to protect endangered species like the water vole.
@@julieprior3126 That’s great. I would love to see reforestation around the world. I like to see different parts of the world on google maps. When you google map most countries it’s amazing how much deforestation we’ve done. In most places if it wasn’t for mountains the entire country would be deforested. You see millions of little squares on the google map of farms
@@julieprior3126 wow are there really no wolves in UK? Guess not really something I’ve thought of, but kind of hard to fathom. US is just so expansive in what’s still here & the space for different climates..
It’s an oasis; what a great find…! THANKS for sharing…! ‼️❤️👍🏻
You’re welcome.
Well THAT was just a perfect Bear bathtub, wasn't it?!? And the Cougars? OMGosh! But my favorite was the tough little skunk who challenged the camera! Great placement of that camera and thanks so much for sharing this!
Thank you 😊
I loved the skunk stomping at the camera!
@@claudiaconarton1268 tough little guy
Best part!
I bet you were watching your back when you picked up your camera.
Seeing the rainfall at the end was poetic. And also relieving "Oh thank God the babies can drink more" hahaha
That rain was much needed. Thank you for watching.
That rain was actually hail...
This video made me think about the drought we are in and it’s impact on wildlife, something I haven’t heard much about. This is incredible footage with so many cool animals. Thank you for sharing this!
You’re welcome.
It rained last night.
Some of the mosquitoes still haven't given up!
We're ruining their homes and killing tens of billions of animals each year, in 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish
Droughts are purposely created. There is plenty of water underground that is not tapped into because it’s a control mechanism, for the scumbags who control the populations.
What drought? Lmao cali and the west coast have seen record rainfall
Just beautiful and tranquil. You certainly picked thr spot for diverse species. Can't wait to show the grandkids ❤
I hope they enjoy it 😃
Way more variety than I was expecting. Even got a closeup of the mountain lion's face. That was my favorite part.
Thanks for watching. Lots of variety down here.
I have watched allot of trail cams on RUclips, but this one takes the prize. You really did find the perfect place. Incredible footage!
Thank you very much for the kind words.
"a lot"
Well done, we need to protect the environment for all of our remaining wildlife, you can see what one tiny watering hole provides to so many.
Amen 👍
You wanna help? Stop having kids.
That’s one way but I think rethinking our consumption habits is better. “Just go away humans” isn’t very marketable.
@@Michael.Outside OK, but let's do both.
@@cometastral no
Thank you for doing this. It was an opportunity to see some of these animals in a relaxed setting and enjoy them in their home environment. I had to laugh at how similar moms are no matter the species... always having a kid wanting to paw at you when you'd just like a moment or two to yourself.
Thank you for watching 👍
The way the one bear kept pawing the camera suspiciously like “this…is not a rock.” 😂😂😂
12:40 The surprise kiss from a second mountain lion, and the those ginormous paws as the walk by the camera.🤩
🥰
That was so nice.
Thank you for this fantastic 15 minutes at an Arizona water hole! Loved the diversity of fauna. Loved how a skunk tried to jump the camera! It makes me so happy to know that this is going on all over the world to one degree or another. Water is precious, especially in 115 degree AZ heat!
Thank you for watching 👍
The skunks seem really smart
Is that a skunk at 9:38. That is the skinniest skunk I've ever seen. Must not be a lot of garbage cans for him in that area.
What a delightful experience to watch these precious animals living their lives like they should.....free and happy !
This is such an amazing example of biodiversity. Water is so important to life. Great footage. Makes me want to do better for all life. We have the message. Salute.
Salute!
Great footage. Always amazes me to see how tough these wild creatures are...a human drinking that water straight out the pool would undoubtedly get so sick.
Thank you. They are incredibly tough.
We were once this tough as well.
I thought this too!!
That's what I was thinking. How is it they can do it but we can't?
Some humans still can. Human ancestors probably had to drink out of stuff like that at certain times.
damn as a phoenix native i FEEL that bear just finding the water and immediately laying down in it
Yeah Phoenix is brutally hot.
I love watching trail cam vids. The diversity in this one is magnificent. What an honor. Thankyou!
Thank you for watching 🙏
Loved how mama bear had a bit of a nap while the going was good. So sweet!
This baby bear and mama made my heart flutter.
To see that huge, beautiful cat--and then the other face appearing! Wonderful. Thankyou
Thanks for watching 👍
Ya that was the highpoint for me too! That and the grosbeak, wow!
For those who cannot go outside or in such hidden wildlife places! Wonderfu! Make more of these !
There are hundreds of these videos on my channel. Thank you for watching.
Hi from New Zealand. Thank you for showing us a taste of what it’s like on the other side of the world. Such an interesting and calming video. I appreciate a glimpse of your natural world.
Thank you for watching 👋
Great work Michael, your work is like a National Geographic movie without all the unwanted extras! Keep them coming. I love the bears cooling off and especially the magnificent lions.
Thank you for the kind words Bruce.
The skunk was so funny. Loved when it charged the camera. All the animals were great!
Thank you for watching 👍
I'm happier knowing that the healthy looking critters are moving around making their way. 🎉
This was an incredible set up! You struck GOLD on this one! Outstanding and hello from South Florida.
Thanks for watching. Definitely had luck on my side here. I’m glad we have gotten some rains now and the animals can spread out. I’ll check out your channel. South Florida has always intrigued me.
@@Michael.Outside thanks so much looking forward to more of your trail cam videos! I sent your link to a few of my friends they liked it as well
I greatly appreciate that.
@@Michael.Outside I love the rock set up! Here in Florida we have too many thieves that would steal my cameras they have to be locked around trees using cable locks. Again I am sharing your cougar video with my albums trail cameras and Florida Panthers. I hope you don't mind. Great stuff keep up the amazing adventures.
@@bobbywummerphotography9798 Thank you! I don’t get much foot traffic by my spots. I try to hide them. But I did recently invest in some cables just in case.
Great footage of nature at work. Badgers,fox,ring tailed cat. Mountain lion,doe and bears. Those birds were beautiful also.
Thanks for watching. The one everyone thinks is a badger is actually a hog nosed skunk. 👍
Fabulous footage. Amazing how many animals rely on that small pond of water.
👍 Thanks for watching.
Loving the bears enjoying themselves and all the wildlife
I wish I could always be as relaxed as that first bear was when he just sat in that watering hole enjoying life lmao
*”Look for the Bare Necessities!”*
Now when I pass a puddle like this on hikes I’ll think, “maybe a bear washed his ass in here?”
The whole time I’m yelling at the other animals lol don’t drink the bears bath water !!! Awesome videos I’m jealous ☀️🌵💚👍
Yeah I wonder what it tasted like
Thanks for watching 👍
lmao I wondered how it tasted too! 😝😂
@@BigfootForestVanIsle Like sweaty bear soup!
Bears are nasty....got a lot of bad things stuck to their fur.
So cool seeing all those animals come to the pool.
With those temperatures I'm not surprised the bears enjoy a swim. Wearing a 'bear skin rug' must really suck.
I thought for sure that first bear was going to knock the camera over. Good job securing it!
Great video. I lived in Arizona. I spent time off Stoneman Lake Road and in Rattle snake Canyon. There are bears there also . Such a joy to see them. These water pools are so important for the wildlife that visit them. I am in my 80's now and and this video brought back a whole bunch of memories. Thanks.
Happy to bring back memories. Thank you for watching Frank.
It's funny how the black bear and the black bear cub look so much like grizzlies
This is excellent! Everybody has to drink the bears' bath water!
gamer bear bath water
Hahaha!😄😄😄😄💓🐻💓
Wow! I didn’t begin to expect this spectacular diversity, especially the bear & cougar. What a treat!
👍👍👍
Ur A TOP COMPETITOR to NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, SO REAL FOOTAGE UP CLOSE 📸
Thank you for watching.
Not sure why this was in my recommendations today, but I am glad it was! I've lived in Arizona for 25 years and I still get such a feeling of affection and pride for our beautiful nature. I hope we always take care of it so future generations can enjoy as much as I do.
I agree. Thanks for watching 👍
It’s beautiful 😻
Thanks so much! I really appreciate listening to the sounds of the animals & the elements instead of a "soundtrack"💫 wasn't expecting the bears in that heat!
😊
Thank you for skipping through all the slow parts so we got to aee a lot of action and constant animals. Great footage the best i have ever seen yet.
Thank you I appreciate the kind words.
A shame he went through all the work of setting that up ... and NOTHING!! 😂
The slow parts would have been nothing duh
The bat was Amazing! All creatures need water… It’s like on the Serengeti when it’s super dry and all the animals make a temporary truce so they can all drink, then go back to being predator and prey later…
Agree 🎉
Amazed at all the different animals who depend upon a small water source. Fascinating and relaxing. Animals have a unique beauty.
Yes they do 🐱🐻🦌
That ring-tailed critter was so cute! Never knew we had such animals here in America. Thanks for showing it!
My pleasure 👍
I had no idea either!!!
Ring tailed cats are our (Arizonas) state mammal! They are related to raccoons and coatimundis, and are very shy nocturnal carnivores.
@@samanthashea6359 Neat, I was wondering what it was, on seeing it I was thinking mustelid(it's very reminiscent of pine martens).
Ring tailed cats live as far North as Oregon and Colorado
For all the people who think the Arizona desert is a barren wasteland with no life, think again. The desert 🌵 is incredibly beautiful and teeming with life. Great video. It’s like watching a Disney movie!
Thank you 👍
the desert is a river with its life underground
TBH, Arizona is a big state, this looks like northern or central AZ. There are some stretches, particularly between Phoenix and Tucson that are barren ass wasteland
This is actually near Tucson 👍
@@Michael.Outside Doesn’t surprise me! The immediate Tucson area is beautiful. Mt Lemon area?
Better than any movie or tv show!❤❤❤
☺️
Michael, greetings from Portugal.
This is way better than world news. Thank you
Keep it up.
I will try! Thanks for watching.
So cool to see the cougars! Mountain lions are misunderstood animals and are very likely a threatened species (it’s debatable since they are very hard animals to find, but we know that their numbers are dropping drastically). While some places still have large populations, most of their natural habitat has been abandoned. They face a lot of danger from humans and bigger predators. It’s so lovely to see some thriving in the wild! This was a perfect snapshot of all the local wild animals. I didn’t know there were bears in Arizona. And that ring tailed cat thing looked like something from the jungle lol.
Mountain lions are not endangered. They're so many that their actually spreading to the East who hasn't seen them for 100+ years. The only ones that were on the threatened list in the recent past was the Florida Panther and even their numbers are fairly healthy now.
@@ChantillyLane22 Yep, we’re seeing them in Missouri along with a lot of black bear. It’s a myth that bear and cougars are endangered.
Mountain lions currently inhabit more of the US then they ever have historically, ur being fed propaganda by so called “animal rights organizations” when damn near everything they want would be severely damaging to the natural environment. Not only do hunters play a huge role in population control, but they fund nearly every aspect of nature preservation and national parks in the states
All predators are actually making a big comeback in the states after being decimated in the 20th centry. The explosion of the deer population over the last 25 years, has made people realize the necessity of alpha predators. Unfortunately, in the north east USA, where they are needed most, big cats are still extinct for the most part.
I live in maine and the state will not acknowledge that mountain lions live here so that they don't have to take any measures to protect them. But there have been plenty of sightings and I myself believe I saw one driving home one night, it completely floored me. Just to say, yes they are moving East lol
Luv the sound of the big cat lapping up the water! These animals look so healthy! That’s a magical oasis you’ve found! Thanks!
Thanks for watching.
As a naturalist, I must admit this was an absolute joy to watch! Thanks for posting this video.
Thank you for watching and commenting 👍
I so thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this. The baby bear. The beautiful cats, the deer. We live among such divine creatures. Loved spending a private moment seeing them relax. ❤
Thanks for stopping by the channel 😀
I absolutely love this. As a wildlife photographer in East Mesa, AZ, I see many animals up close and personal- but not bears and mountain lions! thanks for sharing!
I also have a DSLR but I prefer this because like you said, I can get close to just about anything. Thanks for watching.
I used to live in Apache Junction. I saw most of the beautiful creatures but never a bear or mountain lion. I imagine there's a few up on the Superstition mountain...
I'm so glad I started watching....and then there was NO turning away. Excellent.
Thanks for watching 👍
Absolutely amazing Michael to view animals in their natural setting. Loved all of them, but Mama bear and baby was so cute!😍
Thank you very much for watching. That is by far my favorite bear video I’ve gotten.
@@Michael.Outside somehow I prefer the bear on his own. mummy bear is there for a purpose, to look after her cub. But there's something about the solo bear just taking some time to chill in the water and enjoy the sensation that I love
Love the cinnamon bear . Years ago had a cinnamon bear charge our camp site. After we fired a 3rd shot in her direction she returned to the wilderness. We think she had Cubs in the woods as it was late spring.
The little cub!! This is nature at its finest. Bravo great share 🙌
Cheers 🙌
This is wonderful! I love the cats lapping loudly and then the skunk so delicately!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. 👍
Really amazing footage, wow. The bear scenes were a joy to watch! I came across 2 "teenage" bears once playing and splashing each other in a lake during a heat wave on a canoe trip (in BC), it's incredible to see them cooling off and just having r&r time! All the shots were truly something to watch. And I like the time and temperature stamps, yeah, that was hot alright! The hailstorm at the end of those few days must have been refreshing for all those creatures.
I’m glad you liked it 👍
This is Jeff’s wife commenting: thank you for these. I could watch them for hours! I never saw so many puma! The bears in the pools are wonderful and I love the javelina and skunks too. These really help with anxiety. Thank you!
So happy to hear they help you. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. 😀
What kind of trail camera is that
Browning Recon Force Advantage
Wow,,, I know and just watching them can bring such a calming effect. How wonderful must be the fella that made all them critters and such. Talk to him and your anxiety will start to go away forever. Then keep on talking to him regularly and anxiety will never return.
@jesus christ you trolling? Cause how on earth is that disrespectful? Your user name is though
just the fact that the bear is smiling while just lounging in the water you know he is absolutely in pure bliss in the cool water
