Every May we conduct a study on denning in wolves. This year one of the wolf dens with six pups was extirpated by a brown bear. Details are in the post - sidorovich.blo...
Thanks a lot for so much interest to this our video. In a special post of our scientific blog we told about all the details of this interesting event (see sidorovich.blog/2021/05/28/brown-bear-attack-on-a-wolf-den-in-naliboki-forest-central-western-belarus/ ). Here we would like to explain some circumstances that led to several typical questions in the comments: (1) We did not shoot video directly. The footages with bear and wolves were taken by a camera-trap that was fixed around 10 meters far and 4 meters high (it is given in the movie, too). So, we could not scare the bear in that dramatic moment. (2) We put the camera-trap in a few days after this finding, being already convinced that the pups are normally nursed by their mother. (3) The bear came to the wolf den in a week after our last visit there. So there was not even a negligible amount of our smell at the den. We checked the camera-trap in a week after the bear attack. (4) A part of the event was not registered by the camera-trap, because the bear appeared out of the working distance of the movement detector of the camera-trap. As to bear, we put together all the video-shots, which we gained by the camera-trap; (5) We did not crawl into the wolf den to film the pups. We saw the pups from outside and took their video with putting out a hand. (6) We gained some arguments suggesting that bear’s attack led to the pups’ death (being eaten or graved with sand). However we still trying to clarify that by tracing their behaviour. In the comments given somebody said that in the movie there are more questions than answers. Zoologically (the authors are professional zoologists) it is not much important to get know how the pups died i.e. they were eaten or suffocated being under sand fallen on them or even if they were rescued by the parents. The latter is lovely, of course. The most important knowledge things from the video are: (1) A brown bear has attacked a wolf den with pups trying to kill them with a purpose (food or interspecific interference with wolves); (2) The parent wolves were afraid to approach and attack a bear destroying their den with pups. All others are of secondary importance. As to the questions about bringing human scent to the burrow den as a possible cause of driving bear to come, we will answer in several theses. First, in this forested area we live and work there are quite many people the terrain-wide particularly in the warm season. It was especially common presence of human in that place with the wolf burrow has been, because it was situated about 150 meters from a forestry road and about 1 km from a hamlet. Second, in Belarus bears being stressed by human all the time (hunters, antler searchers, tourists, forestry workers, collectors of berries and mushrooms etc.) are strongly afraid of people and avoid places recently visited by human. Third, here bears know all the burrows in their home ranges and they regularly inspect them by trying to steal up cubs of badgers or red foxes or their parents at a burrow or catch wolf pups. So, it was nothing surprising that the bear appeared at that wolf burrow-den. Forth, that bear came to the wolf burrow-den in a week after we carefully visited the burrow surrounding and almost in two weeks after we filmed the pups. So, there was no any our smell definitely.
Excellent description so sorry to hear that you received hate on the video quite honestly had you been there and scared the bear you a different group of people would be giving hate for interfering with nature. Amazing footage. Nature certainly can be beautiful and cruel in the same time. Ignore nasty comments job well done ✊
It was a great documentary for me to see the real nature environment, animal behaviors, and the danger of wild nature. I watched male bears attack and kill bear cubs, so these things happen in the real wild nature quite often. Thank you so much for uploading this video!
Thank you for your tireless efforts you went through to discover the interfacing between wolves and bears! Your work is priceless and greatly appreciated!
@@christinerose4839 I'm vegetarian, but throughout human history, people have hunted and farmed animals. Just because you happened to come along at a time where eating animals doesn't seem necessary for many, doesn't mean the ones that do are sick. It's part of nature, as you can see from this video. It's hard to understand because we're so spoiled in modern society. If you were put in a survival situation, you'd go back to animalistic tendencies. I personally don't eat animals because it's easy enough for me to live without meat, but it's not for all.
In large packs there’s usually a babysitter left behind to guard the den. Either a aunt or sister or brother. By the looks of it these parents were trying to start their own pack and it was just the two of them. I hope they’ve had better luck recently 🍀
I am a Zoologist and Animal Behaviorist. Not to mention I am Native American. It is possible that the bear was following your scent. Predators often follow the scent of humans in an environment where humans do not frequent. In Europe, especially, wolves go nocturnal when humans are around. Bears can see in the dark as well as the day, so in this equation the smell of humans is what made the wolves go nocturnal. The smell of humans lingers for many days afterward. I have done research on nesting Canada geese, just to come back a week later to find that I had led the coyotes directly to the nests of the geese I was studying. So, the most important "takeaway" from this video is that we allow for the possibility that we played a part in what happened and to not let it happen again. This is how we learn that we are ALSO a part of the Environment :) Thank you for the instructional video.
Wolves will attack bears near their den if they're a larger pack. Presumably this was two young wolves trying to start a pack, so not much they could have done.
The sounds of nature here, the birds etc give off such a pleasant and peaceful vibe when at the same time the brutality of nature is underway. Nature is not a Disney cartoon. It is beautiful, inspiring and can be healing to our souls while just out of sight is the horrific but necessary reality of it all.
@@justadummy8076 Those birds may sound nice to us, but those birds are absolute monsters to the bugs and worms they consume to survive. Nature is a kill or be killed world for all!
@@jammasteracct488 he’s saying this is one example of what goes on everyday, and a narrative can be reality. I have no idea what your comment is insinuating.
@kevinoneill41 Humans are animals, we are included in the animal kingdom, lol. Also stop being a baby. The comment would be 70 billion words long if we included every little group and subgroup.
Reminds me of the landscape scenes in the Revenant If you have lovely warm cabin with a fridge full of food,a warm bed,a hot shower and running water,those landscapes are beautiful If not ,the wilderness is relentless and terrifying 😎
The camera not being able capture every color helps with that. It takes a lot of space to take video in hd and trail cams don’t have that much capacity. Even though they seem to blend in pretty good you definitely notice when you encounter them in real life trust me
As a scientist, I can teach you that they can change the color of their skin (this breed of wolf is hairless) to match their surroundings. Your welcom.
@@anthonymaximus8561Bears eat whatever they want, they are the alpha's.People are on the menu out in the wild if you let your gaurd down. Grizzlies, Brown, and polar bears don't play and don't care. Nature is cruel sometimes. Enter the extreme wilderness you become part of the food chain, same thing when you enter the ocean. Nature is awesome , have to respect it. Peace.......
@@anthonymaximus8561 All the time? Wolves aren't that common for them to eat. Ungulates (elk, bison, deer) comprise a huge portion of the mammals grizzly bears consume. More importantly, grizzly bears would rather scavenge on winter-killed ungulates, or wolf killed ungulate carcasses rather than exert the energy to engage in predation (opportunistic). Grizzly bears will seek out winter-killed ungulates (wolf killed ungulates) and weakened animals during the early spring; during the fall, bears will seek out ungulates weakened by the rut (elk in September/October, bison in August/September). The wolves also mark their scent over a large area to make pinpointing dens more difficult, humans scent and markings stick out like a sore thumb and he went right next to the den basically giving away it's location with his goofy camera as a marker point. Bears mainly eat what's easy and right in front of them, if he didn't stumble accross the den by following the humans scent he probably would've never ran through their looking for a human that usually has more fatty high calorie foods bears love.
@@tommcdonough6086 We are not below a bear, because we evolved intelligence far beyond them, hence guns etc. WE are the more evolved species on the planet, not bears, not sharks, not gorillas. That is why a well-trained sniper can drop a bear (or any other animal on the planet) from a mile away with a single pull of a trigger. We are superior.
those poor pups. omg they looked so cute. damn bear. i felt bad for the wolf couple. they came back and they were giving off “ man we were only gone a minute” energy
Don't think for one minute if those wolves were to be able to separate a bear cub from its mother that they wouldn't eat it! It's life, the food chain. Do you eat meat?
@Pat Mckinnon you understood what the person was getting at so no need to correct the spelling. Unless you personally know that person, you don't know why it could have been spelt like that. Empathy is something maybe you need to learn yourself.
More fascinating to me is just how far removed the human apex predator is. Inventing night vision cameras to watch other predators and the cycle of life. Humans might as well be aliens at this point
It's funny how the zoologist say they were there a week before the bear got there and ate the wolves, to try to throw off the fact that they are the ones who brought the bear right to the den's door/opening!
@@dabrownhornet99 I am proposing to be right with god so you too can make it to eternal life and be with him with the new heaven and the new earth of what was supposed to be.
I really appreciated watching this video, though I am not sure why YT brought it up in my feed. Thank you for this snapshot of nature and also the matter-of-fact, almost journalistic style in how you presented this event.
@@bennyskim we live in a world in which the SIN NATURE dominates people. The day is coming when God will judge the world we can already see His Judgement is closer and closer. God has always used the elements of the earth to bring Judgement and all who has rejected Jesus Christ and what He accomplished at the Cross will be cast into the Lake of Fire. God will renew the earth back to perfection
Just so you know, wolves also attack and have killed grizzly and polar bear cubs of the year. And like grizzlies, they have also dug out hibernating black bears and killed them as well.
@@raynshyn7160 actually many times. Infanticide is a reproductive strategy employed by males of several species including mice. Bears are induced ovulators so that if they can kill a female's offspring the female can be reproductive again soon after she stops lactating. There are videos of males killing cubs here on RUclips. The long time dominant male at Brooks Falls, bear number 856 has been filmed killing cubs on more than one occasion. Use the search feature to find it.
I said the same thing. The bear was tracking their scent and came across the pups. They should have kept their distance from the den. Instead of walking right up to the entrance with a camera
@@kingxray8719 when I really think about it, bears are in their own class of muscle. And as an animal. I mean, what even is it? Besides the obvious title (bear), lol. You got big cats(lions), dogs(wolves) or other animals otherwise appear like it belongs in the family of wolves, marsupials (kangaroo), etc. Gorilla maybe? 🤔
Wolves don’t eat bear cubs. Wolves find other carnivores unappetizing, and usually don’t want to die brutally to an angry mother. I’m sure it has happened (where wolves killed bear cubs) but it is very unlikely and as far as we know, not a common occurrence :) and wolves don’t really interact with bears much anyway.. they know bears are way way WAYY stronger than them, and they most likely would never have a chance
@SadPieceOfToast Wolves don't hesitate to kill and eat bear cubs. They'll surround and distract the sow while another runs in and grabs the cub and runs away... then it's dinner time.
@@SadPieceOfToast Of course my friend. I remember being terribly upset as a child when I saw it happen on a nature show with Lorne Greene discussing what was happening onscreen. Take care 👍
That bear probably was investigating your scent and it stumbled upon the den instead. Young animals in the wild don’t give off strong scents . Your scent around that area sealed their fate.
@@MrRenanHappy young animals in the wild do not give off strong scent. This is a fact mostly among mammals. I never said they leave no scent. Please recheck my first statement.
@@m7mo0o if that was so the bear would have stack the den long time ago and their would be no recorded footage of them. But since the person put his camera down the den and also was installed cameras all around the area, it is safe to conclude without a doubt that since his interference into the equation the bear picked up on the odd scent that does not fit into the equation. Remember wolves territory and bear territory overlap all the time. A non constant scent in this equation would increase a bear curiosity even more.
@@VisionCloudy well if it was a scent then yes. Technically you can’t smell pups underground I’m not a bear or don’t know everything but I’m sure the bear got the best of a human scent probably not knowing where he’s going just to check it out and sees the den. I think that’s how it went too by this footage. Dunno if bear was local but still I believe human scent over buried pups
just in case one or two were able to scurry away from the den and hide for a bit. im sure eventually they would make their way back to the den if able to, and reunite with the parents.
You do know your scent is much stronger than that of the pups? The bear smelt that and found the pups. Although not intentional(I hope), you got them killed
Not in the least bit true. The smell of the pups deficating and leftover carrion is likely what attracted the bear. Also if you knew what you were talking about instead of pretending you would know that unless starving they will usually avoid people.
That's a trap camera. No humans are actually there recording, they recorded the pups 2 weeks before this encounter and put the trap camera up a week before this encounter. I doubt the bear smelled a scent of humans from a week ago......It's literally in the description box.
I find brown bears to be very intimidating and scary. I’ve always been extremely paranoid of them and to this day I have never stepped foot in brown bear county despite my love for the outdoors. I can honestly say that I hate brown bears and they are perhaps my only major fear.
I live in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, so I understand your healthy fear of brown bears, that being said there's no reason to "hate" them. They're just out there trying to survive like any other animal does. The best thing you can do is acknowledge that you're in their territory and plan accordingly. When you're out and about in the woods carry bear spray and learn to recognize potential risks, such as the time of year, or the proximity to carrion that the bear might be coming back for later. The spring and fall are when you should be on the highest alert because you can run into a mother with her cubs, or stumble upon a bear trying to stock up for winter. Brown bears don't want to hurt you, they don't see you as prey you just need to be prepared and safe when you're in their territory. Having a dog with you can be a blessing or a curse. I used to have a Shepherd/Husky cross that would actually intimidate the bear and cause it to back down, the flipside of that could be that the bear gives chase and the dog leads the bear back to you. I'm only saying this because it's completely healthy and actually smart to have a healthy fear of brown bears, but there's no reason to hate them. They're beautiful amazing animals that have been around for millions of years because of their opportunistic nature, and their omnivorous diet. They're an essential part of the ecosystem, and crucial in their role to maintain the natural environments we both love.
Why did you cut out the part where the bear finished the mission he was on? Sort of left us wandering if some of the pups were still there. Why even post part of a video if your not willing to post all of it? Maybe the pups were not even there when the bear was, parent wolves had already moved them because of human scent. So many unanswered questions with this video.
The photographer was leaving the sad grueling part of the destruction of the cubs out of view. Frankly I’m thankful for. We seen how many were in the den, and they were much to small to leave the den. Logic and visual tells the rest of the story.
@@cathyhouseholder3729 Just because you feel that way doesn't mean other people have to pay the price for censorship. Some people want to know the truth no matter how gruesome it is.
@Buying Stuff Settle down there Sheila, the man simply stated he wished the video wasn't edited. Not sure why you felt the need for a personal attack, but it comes across as you projecting your own issues towards another. Take a deep breath, relax ... everything will be okay. 😏
Wolves just knew pups were not there anymore because they have a sublime sense of smell and they do not actually need to see something for revealing its presence. They were just sniffing around to see if the bear was in the surroundings , they returned to check if a pup returned to the lair. The bear would usually not be able to kill all of them and some would managed to escape , still it may also be all pups died during the attack.
Very interesting - thanks! I've thought one reason why grizzlies have done well when wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone was that they would steal kills away from wolves, but occasionally killing and eating pups may be another (marginal) reason.
Nah, the very few pups grizzlies get is inconsequential to their population dynamics. You're also not considering the fact that wolves do attack and kill grizzly cubs and subadults.
Excellent video. I really appreciate your presenting it without music or commentary and just the sounds of nature and your subtitles. Nature is brutal, but the bear kills to eat. People kill for a lot less. Too bad for the wolves.
@@somesweetguy that was literally less than 1% of the worlds population involved. notice how I said “most of us”. the world you know wouldnt even exist if the majority would kill for sport or greed. its so grotesquely silly to compare animals to humans when animals dont even comprehend the concept of morals and ethics and are entirely programmed by instincts without any free will.
@@somesweetguy imagine not knowing the meaning of "most of us"... or do you think most people were responsible for auschwitz? Either way, stupid reply...
The bear appears to have come from the left, and when the people walk into frame of the same camera they came from the right, plus they are decked out as hunters so im guessing they are masking their scents either with scent neutralizer or urine. (not theirs, usually deer or whatever you are hunting, heck im not a hunter they might not even use urine anymore)
No, because the bears will tend to avoid humans. They kill wolf pups all the time just like wolves kill bear cobs all the time. The bear can smell the pup's scent from miles away. You're just an overly emotional nutjob who likes to blame fellow humans for everything. Grow up.
@@johnhoffay9081 oh lmao sorry. I had dealt with serious rude people that whole day it seemed like. I also voted for Trump so I would have blamed Biden in this sense 🤣
Upon finding out his pups were kidnapped and likely eaten, father wolf decided that moment is the best moment to hike his leg and relieve himself right on top of the den. Nature is interesting 🤔
Wolves mark their territory to keep other predators away... My guess is that the scent wasn't strong enough and the bear wasn't alarmed because it didn't smell any marking... Nature IS weird lol...
This is your fault. The bear didn’t smell the pups, it smelled you. You interfering with the opening of the den was basically a dinner bell for the bear. Thanks for that 😢
So you actually think a bear follows people around to see what they're looking at? The bear knows what wolf dens and fresh wolf tracks smell like. He's a predator
No one should be too quick to blame the humans, or to discard there possibility going right to the entrance of the den may have left a scent for bear to pick up. They are there for days, they bring food. The den is underground for a reason, so wind doesn't carry away the smell. But if you leave scents at surface level it may bring curious visitors.
watch the behaviour. The wolves moved extremely cautiously around the aproach to the den, people forget that animal's have a far superior sense of smell to ours.
u or we don't know when the supposedly parents arrived at that spot, was it before the pups were born or was it after the bear tore up the place, was this the pups parents or was it just another pair of wolves, everything is left to your imagination, and mine's very strong
Bears and wolves are number one and two respectively on the food chain and yes I am talking meat food chain not moth food chain. Grizzlies possess no predators. So, yes, absolutely mortal enemies, but wolves do not hunt grizzlies. They know better!
@@PeaceDweller Mountain lions are tough and mean. Concurred. But the reality of the matter is that wolves almost always hunt in packs and the mountain lion under natural hunting conditions no way is #2 on the food chain in Montana. Sure if we put them in a cage one on one the mountain lion being of the same size would be victorious. They are loners and cannot top the wolf from #2. Thanks for your comment Peace Dweller!
The cameras were set to not interfere with the wolf pups and their lives?? How did you get the footage inside the den (:45) of the very much alive pups?? videographer
@notsosilentmajority1 think about what you just said. If YOU wanted, for example - to film the interactions *around* a wolfcub den, would you not check that the den actually had pups in it first? (otherwise what's the point of filming an empty den?) So, having seen and filmed the existence of pups - you then set up your trailcam at a distance...to film the activity *around* the den. That's what a biologist means when they are trying to keep interference with the wolf pups to a minimum. Ok?
@@pipfox7834 Hey, if you actually believe it wasn't the human contact that brought the bear to kill those cubs, then that's up to you. Obviously, they knew there were cubs in there and they went to the den to film them, which we see on video. This is one of those situations in which you believe what you want to believe and other people are free to disagree with you.
@comesect nocisum whats to work out? hungry bear, helpless pups - the ending is obvious. What do you want to see, puppies being torn to shreds for your ''edification"? (look it up in the dictionary).
It’s crazy how smart wolves are remind you that’s a camera no one is behind it the camera been sitting there filming for hours and the wolves looking around and looked directly into the camera so aware of their surroundings
@@sleeves1235 lol. They didn't suffocate. Were you even paying attention and miss the giant hole the grizzly dug? There are few animals alive that have a better sense of smell and none that can out dig a grizzly bear. You could bury those puppies and bear would simply find and then dig them out. Those puppies were killed and likely eaten by the bear. There is little doubt about it and that explains why the video was cut just before he got them.
@@gblueslover8807 You didn't see what? The greatly enlarged hole and dug out area where the den was? And yes there was recording time and the author obviously edited it. There is a very obvious jump cut between the bear standing in the hole and when the wolves returned right after the bear left. It seems they didn't want to show the pups being killed and eaten.
I was thinking something similar. They stuck a camera down the hole. That being said, I am sure they wanted to see the wolves grow up and had no idea this would happen.
@@culcune tell me this what's more likely and this more so goes to OP damkayaker ,, the bear came because he smelled the human who's last visit was two weeks prior OR the bear came because he smelled the pups who were there at the location for weeks without leaving (meaning also the mother was coming back and forth every few day to feed them)
Nah it’s kinda obvious, animals rely on smell most of the time, if your interfering with an area and leaving all kinds of smells, well u just f kd those animals.
"censorship is when youtube creator doesn't show me puppies getting mauled" 🤣 Yall... What wasn't shown is quite obvious... And isn't necessary to understand what is behaviorally significant about this event. You guys just seem disappointed you'll have to use 10 seconds of imagination power if you want to see wolf puppies getting mangled by predators, lol. Trail cams don't record 24/7, and even professional wildlife photographers often miss key shots. What appears to be censorship in these cases is generally just missing footage.
@@Applebottompenis not mangled, eaten. and no, we dont know what happened,bc it was not shown. did all get eaten? did one just get trapped in the dirt and die, did one get away, we dont know
@@BranGrizz Read the pinned comment. Also, I don't know what kind of table manners the bears in your area have, but most certainly aren't paying attention to how cleanly they dispatch & butcher tiny animals... So yes, mangled, esp if this behavior is more driven by thinning out competing predators from its territory than viewing the pups as a legitimate prey item.
@@Applebottompenis i shouldnt have to read the pinned comment. it is a video media. you don't watch a movie that excludes the climax and just tells you to go read some excerpt. and sure ripped to shreds and left for agony and slow death to lessen predator competition. it's just nature and people need to see shit like that to know easy their lives are
The camera was high enough to stay out of the wolves sight; but in the perfect spot to lure a bear to you. Congratulations bro. Probably should change the title to “pest control”
Yes, humans are on the Grizzly Bear's menu. It is the blood they are after and it ranges from squirrel to human beings. I have never seen a grizzly choose glacier lilies over meat no matter what the conservationists tell you.
@Buying Stuff If you had caught a whiff of the decomposed moose I saw a grizzly bear gnawing on in the Great Bear Wilderness, a stinky hunter might smell like wild roses to the grizzly bear!
I've played a lot of survival games that force you to live by the same rules as them. To the bear, this den is an easy shot at a meal. Much needed calories that can be offered with a bit of digging and zero fight. For the pups, its mortifying. One moment you're snug and asleep in a pile with your siblings. The next, you're being ripped out of your home by your fur and killed, hopefully quickly. Both live by chance and luck. One benefits by the others sacrifice. The other perishes to necessity. Certainty is a scarce commodity in nature, but these pups ensure the bear will live on. Atleast for a little while. And the wolves will grieve, but move on. As time ensures they must.
@@gregdenys7162 Uh, yeah it was. Bears are opportunistic. If they see something weak and helpless, chances are they're gonna eat it. The bear new what was in that den. They wouldn't expend that much precious energy for no reason.
@Yin Wang ........Do What ? You may find it helpful to know and understand the definition of a word before using it. A pronoun naming a group or the actions of a group even more so! 🙄
No doubt? In reality you have no idea what the internal experience of the wolves is like. You're just another low IQ herd member who thinks animals experience what humans experience. They don't. The fact that the adult wolves left the pups alone doesn't clue you in? Is that what you do with your children?
@@w.harrison7277 what a stupid and shallow minded comment that is. Is this what you tell yourself when you kill animals so that you dont feel so guilty. I have seen enough evidence that animals feel just as much emotions as humans do. Yes they still have their primal instinct to kill for food and yes they grieve when their cubs or pack members die just like alot of other animals do. You must live in a very small bubble to come out with a comment like that. The wolves had to leave the cubs to go find food. They come back with food regularly. what do you expect them to do. Get a babysitter or drop them off at the nursery. You stated " they dont" what makes you so high and mighty with all the wisdom on earth. Have you ever read any book or watched any documentarys or had any experiance whatsoever. Your the low iq herd member here.
Good video. I kept skipping back and forth between the last shot of the bear digging and the wolves showing up. You definitely cut out a fascinating view of the bear cutting up that terrain - I would love to see that part!
to see the pups being eating alive? you maybe get off on that... its clear the one filming left a scent trailing to the pups that the bear used to find them
I have a question....Seeing as how U people (the makers of this video)had walked all around the wolf den even sticking the camera down into the den which of course all of that would leave Ur scents around the den...What if that bear had been trailing Ur scents which led him to that den?🤔Just curious that's why Im asking...Thanks🙂
My thoughts exactly. These two alpha predators usually stay away from one another unless force to venture far and cross paths due to winter and lack of prey
Bears are thought to have the best sense of smell of any animal on earth. For example, the average dog's sense of smell is 100 times better than a human's. A blood hound's is 300 times better. A bear's sense of smell is 7 times better than a blood hound's or 2,100 times better than a human's.
You do know bears tend to follow the scents of humans because it tends to lead them to food. So as innocent as your intentions are/were, you could of unintentionally led the bear to the den.
It was too graphic. They didn't want you to see the gruesome wolf puppy murder that they made happen by putting their human scent trail inside the den for the bear to follow.
This morning I had to hold my 90 lb German Shepherd-Pit mix in a scissor leg grip around his rear legs to prevent him from choking himself out on his collar lead. His base instinct to kill competing predators ( a marauding Alpha Coyote) was almost more than I could restrain. Even with a full harness, I would've had a hard time holding him back. My dog's howls and screams triggered every dog in the area and started them howling. I wish I had been able to video the incident, but I probably would've lost my hold and I know there are 5 more Coyotes living in the area and even at 30-40 lbs, those Coyotes are experienced and vicious killers. My big boy would not fare well 6-1. He got loose from me a couple of times before and gave chase to that same male over the past 3 years. Fortunately on all occasions, the rest of the Coyote pack was scattered across the 2 mile greenbelt and my dog eventually lost ground in the thicket and gave up the chase after 20 minutes. That nature thing...she scary!
The fact that there was no "remains" or blood leads me to believe the suffocated under the collapse? If untrue you could have at least showed a quik shot of the "mess" to let us know EXACTLY what happened...
@@Neilukuk There had to something left after the "dinner"...blood or whatever...a quik shot of that would have let us know they were "eaten" not suffocated.
@@classicamericanoldman1091 It's hard to tell if the bear dug to where they were or if the top caved in on them, I definitely would've moved some soil around and also check closely for blood or bones.
It’s obvious isn’t it it’s videos edited it’s because humans interfered shut off their gun scared the bear away and that’s also it brought the wolves back because they heard the gunshots!!!
@@waynegraham7611 So true. They are Ursus Major. I raise orphan Raccoons, they are Ursus Minor.Same genus. The claws are for some crazy digging. They act like shovels! You should see what they do to my flower beds. Not to mention my woodwork.
This is wildlife and anything goes, to all you complaining about the people in the wild who you believe led the bear to the den. My complaint is not with what happens in the wild. My complaint is about this video being edited to remove the interaction between the bear and cubs. Look around RUclips. It's perfectly fine to show brutality and death in the wild. Human morals and beliefs don't apply in the wild, so leave yours at the door. Because this video was edited removing the most essential aspect of the event, the interaction between the bear and cubs, I down voted and flagged this video.
If you read the pinned comment, you would see that we included all shots with bear we had. With camera-trapping it happens.. finally bear appeared a bit further from a camera-trap and movement detector stopped triggering.
@@RobertFairweatherMusic ever heard of a 12 gauge? I’d give it 2-4 shots before the bear is completely unrecognizable. With adrenaline I probably wouldn’t stop shooting until there was nothing left in my weapon to shoot 😂
"The bear dug up the pups and they all lived happily ever after, being trained in the ways of the bear" or "The bear ate all of the pups who were cowering in fear at the back of the den" What's the ending??? I need to know
Why do you need to know? Would you have enjoyed the video more if it showed the bear ripping into of the cubs and tearing them apart, seeing all the blood and guts and hearing the cubs screaming in pain?
@@bencepandi3568 New Guinea, much of South America, parts of Russia and Serbia, Alaska, Canada etc. Fortunately you're wrong bud. There's still plenty of nature that's intact thankfully
@@well_as_an_expert_id_say They are not intact. Our ancestors were there thousands of years ago. Even the Amazonas is not intact, long gone civilizations cultivated it. Russia? If it's so intact, where are the mammoths? Humans were everywhere before civilizations.
I think it's translation error and should say "red fox den". Wolves found an abandoned fox den (or killed the fox pups, wolves do that) and enlargened the den for their own use.
A 'earth' is a a term used in British English to describe the home of a fox and some other animals that live below ground, in the earth. Earth is also another word for soil and could well be the origin of the word 'earth' when used to describe a den dug into the soil.
@@mrj.kottari8453 in this context the word earth or den are interchangeable and either word describes the same thing. All though perhaps only to a native speaker of British English. I am unsure about American English I think that's where it gets lost in translation.
This happens all the time in nature. The only reason you are mad is because it was filmed. The wolves would do the same thing to bear cubs if given the chance.
bears have a scent tens of times stronger than humans, if the parents visited the den every night then the bear wouldve caught scent of the den even without the dudes 'intervening'. And what if the bear ate the cubs? its the fucking circle of life, the bear need food too.
It's their little secret. The bear never finished the job and these guys used the footage to get rid of some killers before they became killers. Digging up the den then finishing off the pups. Bear was framed
If you are going to make a video like this one I think you should show the entire dig out from start to finish. I know if would have been a death or deaths shown on film but it's natural deaths that happen every day in the wild
That looks a LOT like where I lived as a kid. In Northern Quebec, about 400Km North of Quebec city. Lucky us, though. Past the eastern side of Alberta, we don't have brown bears OR cougars for that matter. Only MUCH smaller and less aggressive, black ones here. But we have lots of wolves, Lynxes, bobcats, and carcajous (wolverines). Plus foxes and now, a rise in invasive coyotes. They are like the cockroaches of the wild. And according to what has been happening since last year or so, our OTTERS are P'ed off at humans now and attack people. Canadian river otters might be the size of a small dog (20 pounds +), but they have a real bite to them and they are actually mini-wolverines that like water(same family).
@@spiderreed350 Why are Otters mad at humans ? because they want to call themselves the Allied Atheist Alliance because it would be the logic way (aince it makes for AAA). But it's nonsense, the one true name is the United Atheist Alliance.
@@uschurch you’re a troll. Intentionally or unintentionally you are a troll. All of your recent comments are disparaging and confrontational. Life outside of RUclips got you down?
Thanks a lot for so much interest to this our video. In a special post of our scientific blog we told about all the details of this interesting event (see sidorovich.blog/2021/05/28/brown-bear-attack-on-a-wolf-den-in-naliboki-forest-central-western-belarus/ ). Here we would like to explain some circumstances that led to several typical questions in the comments:
(1) We did not shoot video directly. The footages with bear and wolves were taken by a camera-trap that was fixed around 10 meters far and 4 meters high (it is given in the movie, too). So, we could not scare the bear in that dramatic moment.
(2) We put the camera-trap in a few days after this finding, being already convinced that the pups are normally nursed by their mother.
(3) The bear came to the wolf den in a week after our last visit there. So there was not even a negligible amount of our smell at the den. We checked the camera-trap in a week after the bear attack.
(4) A part of the event was not registered by the camera-trap, because the bear appeared out of the working distance of the movement detector of the camera-trap. As to bear, we put together all the video-shots, which we gained by the camera-trap;
(5) We did not crawl into the wolf den to film the pups. We saw the pups from outside and took their video with putting out a hand.
(6) We gained some arguments suggesting that bear’s attack led to the pups’ death (being eaten or graved with sand). However we still trying to clarify that by tracing their behaviour.
In the comments given somebody said that in the movie there are more questions than answers. Zoologically (the authors are professional zoologists) it is not much important to get know how the pups died i.e. they were eaten or suffocated being under sand fallen on them or even if they were rescued by the parents. The latter is lovely, of course.
The most important knowledge things from the video are:
(1) A brown bear has attacked a wolf den with pups trying to kill them with a purpose (food or interspecific interference with wolves);
(2) The parent wolves were afraid to approach and attack a bear destroying their den with pups.
All others are of secondary importance.
As to the questions about bringing human scent to the burrow den as a possible cause of driving bear to come, we will answer in several theses.
First, in this forested area we live and work there are quite many people the terrain-wide particularly in the warm season. It was especially common presence of human in that place with the wolf burrow has been, because it was situated about 150 meters from a forestry road and about 1 km from a hamlet.
Second, in Belarus bears being stressed by human all the time (hunters, antler searchers, tourists, forestry workers, collectors of berries and mushrooms etc.) are strongly afraid of people and avoid places recently visited by human.
Third, here bears know all the burrows in their home ranges and they regularly inspect them by trying to steal up cubs of badgers or red foxes or their parents at a burrow or catch wolf pups. So, it was nothing surprising that the bear appeared at that wolf burrow-den.
Forth, that bear came to the wolf burrow-den in a week after we carefully visited the burrow surrounding and almost in two weeks after we filmed the pups. So, there was no any our smell definitely.
Excellent description so sorry to hear that you received hate on the video quite honestly had you been there and scared the bear you a different group of people would be giving hate for interfering with nature. Amazing footage. Nature certainly can be beautiful and cruel in the same time.
Ignore nasty comments job well done ✊
It was a great documentary for me to see the real nature environment, animal behaviors, and the danger of wild nature. I watched male bears attack and kill bear cubs, so these things happen in the real wild nature quite often.
Thank you so much for uploading this video!
How sad for the pups .
Thank you for your tireless efforts you went through to discover the interfacing between wolves and bears! Your work is priceless and greatly appreciated!
What trail camera were you using?
You laid a scent trail leading the bear right to the wolf pups.
Yeah thought the same, agh!!!
Of course he did , how else would he be there at this exact time .. shameful 😢
i am thinking the same things...cruel
Thought the same thing. Not to judge anyone here as I don't know for sure. They better didn't attract the bear to the den or they shall burn in hell.
Pretty much.
As sad as it looks, Wildlife don't have grocery stores to shop at.The wolves do the same thing to other creatures. Live by the tooth, die from it too.

As far as I’m concerned the kind of people who butcher live stock are sick individuals just like some comments on this post

@Christine Rose
So you’re vegan, I take it?
@@christinerose4839 I'm vegetarian, but throughout human history, people have hunted and farmed animals. Just because you happened to come along at a time where eating animals doesn't seem necessary for many, doesn't mean the ones that do are sick. It's part of nature, as you can see from this video. It's hard to understand because we're so spoiled in modern society. If you were put in a survival situation, you'd go back to animalistic tendencies.
I personally don't eat animals because it's easy enough for me to live without meat, but it's not for all.
In large packs there’s usually a babysitter left behind to guard the den. Either a aunt or sister or brother. By the looks of it these parents were trying to start their own pack and it was just the two of them. I hope they’ve had better luck recently 🍀
So did the bear get the pups?
@@nedee1714 I too saw the green screen! Wow!
@@StelznerGaming what green screen
If real, the human scent lead the bear straight to that den.
Doesn't matter if they had a babysitter or not...lol. I've seen videos of these grizzleys not even phased by a whole pack of wolves
I am a Zoologist and Animal Behaviorist. Not to mention I am Native American. It is possible that the bear was following your scent. Predators often follow the scent of humans in an environment where humans do not frequent. In Europe, especially, wolves go nocturnal when humans are around. Bears can see in the dark as well as the day, so in this equation the smell of humans is what made the wolves go nocturnal. The smell of humans lingers for many days afterward. I have done research on nesting Canada geese, just to come back a week later to find that I had led the coyotes directly to the nests of the geese I was studying. So, the most important "takeaway" from this video is that we allow for the possibility that we played a part in what happened and to not let it happen again. This is how we learn that we are ALSO a part of the Environment :) Thank you for the instructional video.

If not ,the wilderness is relentless and terrifying 😎
Amazing how effective the wolve's natural camouflage is....they blend right in with the surrounding environment!!
yeah, I was amazed by that as well
The camera not being able capture every color helps with that. It takes a lot of space to take video in hd and trail cams don’t have that much capacity. Even though they seem to blend in pretty good you definitely notice when you encounter them in real life trust me
Too bad it wasn't enough...
And we have amazing color vision! To most of the animals besides birds and some predators they are almost invisible!
As a scientist, I can teach you that they can change the color of their skin (this breed of wolf is hairless) to match their surroundings. Your welcom.
This man’s actions are a perfect example of why you should leave animals alone 😵💫
Why? Bears eat wolves all the time in Nature
@@anthonymaximus8561Bears eat whatever they want, they are the alpha's.People are on the menu out in the wild if you let your gaurd down. Grizzlies, Brown, and polar bears don't play and don't care. Nature is cruel sometimes. Enter the extreme wilderness you become part of the food chain, same thing when you enter the ocean. Nature is awesome , have to respect it. Peace.......
@@anthonymaximus8561 All the time? Wolves aren't that common for them to eat. Ungulates (elk, bison, deer) comprise a huge portion of the mammals grizzly bears consume. More importantly, grizzly bears would rather scavenge on winter-killed ungulates, or wolf killed ungulate carcasses rather than exert the energy to engage in predation (opportunistic). Grizzly bears will seek out winter-killed ungulates (wolf killed ungulates) and weakened animals during the early spring; during the fall, bears will seek out ungulates weakened by the rut (elk in September/October, bison in August/September). The wolves also mark their scent over a large area to make pinpointing dens more difficult, humans scent and markings stick out like a sore thumb and he went right next to the den basically giving away it's location with his goofy camera as a marker point. Bears mainly eat what's easy and right in front of them, if he didn't stumble accross the den by following the humans scent he probably would've never ran through their looking for a human that usually has more fatty high calorie foods bears love.

Just so you know, wolves also attack and have killed grizzly and polar bear cubs of the year. And like grizzlies, they have also dug out hibernating black bears and killed them as well.
Male grizzlies will eat grizzly cubs also. That has also been documented a few times.
@@raynshyn7160 actually many times. Infanticide is a reproductive strategy employed by males of several species including mice. Bears are induced ovulators so that if they can kill a female's offspring the female can be reproductive again soon after she stops lactating. There are videos of males killing cubs here on RUclips. The long time dominant male at Brooks Falls, bear number 856 has been filmed killing cubs on more than one occasion. Use the search feature to find it.

Wolves don’t eat bear cubs. Wolves find other carnivores unappetizing, and usually don’t want to die brutally to an angry mother. I’m sure it has happened (where wolves killed bear cubs) but it is very unlikely and as far as we know, not a common occurrence :) and wolves don’t really interact with bears much anyway.. they know bears are way way WAYY stronger than them, and they most likely would never have a chance

That bear probably was investigating your scent and it stumbled upon the den instead. Young animals in the wild don’t give off strong scents . Your scent around that area sealed their fate.
Agree completely.
Do you have proof that the wolves themselves leave no scent?

@@alvinjames470 how do you know that the bear wasn't going after the grown-up parent wolves scent?
@@m7mo0o if that was so the bear would have stack the den long time ago and their would be no recorded footage of them. But since the person put his camera down the den and also was installed cameras all around the area, it is safe to conclude without a doubt that since his interference into the equation the bear picked up on the odd scent that does not fit into the equation. Remember wolves territory and bear territory overlap all the time. A non constant scent in this equation would increase a bear curiosity even more.
Has it occurred to you that your scent investigating the wolf den probably led the bear to it?
I think the scent of the wolves would be much greater than that of the humans, to lead the bear to that location.
@@landonshores7004 I probably disagree....maybe the wolves mask the scent by rolling around some soil/grass.
@@landonshores7004humans have a scent found nowhere else in nature, a distinct sent that the bear know exactly what it is.

You do know your scent is much stronger than that of the pups? The bear smelt that and found the pups. Although not intentional(I hope), you got them killed
Not in the least bit true. The smell of the pups deficating and leftover carrion is likely what attracted the bear. Also if you knew what you were talking about instead of pretending you would know that unless starving they will usually avoid people.
Yeah sure bears avoid people right???? Thats why there are NO videos of bears and humans having contact no where near woods.
That's a trap camera. No humans are actually there recording, they recorded the pups 2 weeks before this encounter and put the trap camera up a week before this encounter. I doubt the bear smelled a scent of humans from a week ago......It's literally in the description box.

I live in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, so I understand your healthy fear of brown bears, that being said there's no reason to "hate" them. They're just out there trying to survive like any other animal does. The best thing you can do is acknowledge that you're in their territory and plan accordingly. When you're out and about in the woods carry bear spray and learn to recognize potential risks, such as the time of year, or the proximity to carrion that the bear might be coming back for later. The spring and fall are when you should be on the highest alert because you can run into a mother with her cubs, or stumble upon a bear trying to stock up for winter. Brown bears don't want to hurt you, they don't see you as prey you just need to be prepared and safe when you're in their territory. Having a dog with you can be a blessing or a curse. I used to have a Shepherd/Husky cross that would actually intimidate the bear and cause it to back down, the flipside of that could be that the bear gives chase and the dog leads the bear back to you. I'm only saying this because it's completely healthy and actually smart to have a healthy fear of brown bears, but there's no reason to hate them. They're beautiful amazing animals that have been around for millions of years because of their opportunistic nature, and their omnivorous diet. They're an essential part of the ecosystem, and crucial in their role to maintain the natural environments we both love.
You do realize that 5 or 6 years old is ancient by wild animal years. You try and live outside with just your wits.
Why did you cut out the part where the bear finished the mission he was on? Sort of left us wandering if some of the pups were still there. Why even post part of a video if your not willing to post all of it? Maybe the pups were not even there when the bear was, parent wolves had already moved them because of human scent. So many unanswered questions with this video.
If a bear takes a dump in the woods...

6:33 it was probably you being their that attracted that bear to the area
100%
_"there"_
It's crazy how smart wolves are the one didn't wanna stick its head in the hole so it got to high ground to see if the predator was still there
Wolves just knew pups were not there anymore because they have a sublime sense of smell and they do not actually need to see something for revealing its presence. They were just sniffing around to see if the bear was in the surroundings , they returned to check if a pup returned to the lair. The bear would usually not be able to kill all of them and some would managed to escape , still it may also be all pups died during the attack.
High ground? It was the same height🤣
They were also smelling and trying to here the predator.

Your videos are truly inspiring, thank you!
Very interesting - thanks! I've thought one reason why grizzlies have done well when wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone was that they would steal kills away from wolves, but occasionally killing and eating pups may be another (marginal) reason.
Wolves are competition & could possibly put a bear cub at risk tho rare.
Nah, the very few pups grizzlies get is inconsequential to their population dynamics. You're also not considering the fact that wolves do attack and kill grizzly cubs and subadults.
They've actually been documented as hunting together in Yellowstone

@@BUBBLESPOGO me toooooo!!!!
Excellent video. I really appreciate your presenting it without music or commentary and just the sounds of nature and your subtitles. Nature is brutal, but the bear kills to eat. People kill for a lot less. Too bad for the wolves.
Most of us people only kill to eat too.
Nature can be more gruesome than some humans could ever imagine.
@@somesweetguy that was literally less than 1% of the worlds population involved. notice how I said “most of us”.

It’s the camera mens fault, y’all ratted out where the wolves lived to the bear.. 😭🤣
Camera men left their stench and bear investigated but found pups instead
A pine needle fell in the forest, an eagle saw it fall, a deer heard it, and the bear smelled it.
Yes, grasshopper
I totally agree!
@Jim Bartz it was a joke fool, calm down.
Ever wonder if your scent trail may have lead the bear to the wolf den???
The bear appears to have come from the left, and when the people walk into frame of the same camera they came from the right, plus they are decked out as hunters so im guessing they are masking their scents either with scent neutralizer or urine. (not theirs, usually deer or whatever you are hunting, heck im not a hunter they might not even use urine anymore)
No, because the bears will tend to avoid humans. They kill wolf pups all the time just like wolves kill bear cobs all the time. The bear can smell the pup's scent from miles away. You're just an overly emotional nutjob who likes to blame fellow humans for everything. Grow up.
Exactly what I was thinking
Just read their comment, they explain very well why that was not the case, it won't take more than a minute.
Of course they are going to say what they have to say to get rid of the guilt!
I miss 6:53 minutes ago when I didn't know this video was around!

“their” and “too” Brainwave.
Upon finding out his pups were kidnapped and likely eaten, father wolf decided that moment is the best moment to hike his leg and relieve himself right on top of the den. Nature is interesting 🤔
The bear came in like “Oooh puppy veal, Imma monch on their cronchy lil’ bones!😋”
If the cubs left they would sniff their way back home to poppa wolf...my thoughts
I totally noticed that and felt that was very odd response too
Watch the Human Behavioral Biology lectures by Sapolsky
Wolves mark their territory to keep other predators away... My guess is that the scent wasn't strong enough and the bear wasn't alarmed because it didn't smell any marking... Nature IS weird lol...
This is your fault. The bear didn’t smell the pups, it smelled you. You interfering with the opening of the den was basically a dinner bell for the bear. Thanks for that 😢
So you actually think a bear follows people around to see what they're looking at? The bear knows what wolf dens and fresh wolf tracks smell like. He's a predator
Your smell all around the place may have interfered.
You may have attracted the bear to the den.
They explained in description that it was a week after they installed the cameras. So its unlikely they caused this.
@@popenieafantome9527 you're underestimating their scent
@@markymarco2570 So are you, bears can smell pups, a bears nose is more sensitive than a dogs.
People like you are so quick to blame the people without fully understanding the behaviors of the animal you're talking about.
No one should be too quick to blame the humans, or to discard there possibility going right to the entrance of the den may have left a scent for bear to pick up. They are there for days, they bring food. The den is underground for a reason, so wind doesn't carry away the smell. But if you leave scents at surface level it may bring curious visitors.
They knew what occurred as soon as they arrived.
How do you know? Maybe they didn't?
watch the behaviour. The wolves moved extremely cautiously around the aproach to the den, people forget that animal's have a far superior sense of smell to ours.
u or we don't know when the supposedly parents arrived at that spot, was it before the pups were born or was it after the bear tore up the place, was this the pups parents or was it just another pair of wolves, everything is left to your imagination, and mine's very strong
@@JomoDaMusicMan Totally. It is a crappy video.
Helloooo wolves have amazing scent capabilities and would know it was a bear as soon as they saw it
Fascinating film. Thank you for posting!
Incredible footage. Thanks for sharing.
So _that's_ why bears and wolves are mortal enemies...
Bears and wolves are number one and two respectively on the food chain and yes I am talking meat food chain not moth food chain. Grizzlies possess no predators. So, yes, absolutely mortal enemies, but wolves do not hunt grizzlies. They know better!
@@robertsteffes5487 Wolves are more like number 3 to be honest. A Good size Mountain Lion would handle a Wolf one on one unless the pack is around.
Sadly this is just what all animals, birds, and reptiles do.
@@PeaceDweller Mountain lions are tough and mean. Concurred. But the reality of the matter is that wolves almost always hunt in packs and the mountain lion under natural hunting conditions no way is #2 on the food chain in Montana. Sure if we put them in a cage one on one the mountain lion being of the same size would be victorious. They are loners and cannot top the wolf from #2. Thanks for your comment Peace Dweller!
You mean wolves and vampires
Hmmm makes me wonder, however, if the human scent had not been brought to the den, would the bear have ever gone in to investigate.
I never watched the rest of the video. What happens to the wplves?
Trying to find someone to blame.......this happens in nature and wildlife every day. Human around or not .....
Exactly, human scent all over the area and leading to the den intrigued the bear and made him want to investigate

@notsosilentmajority1
think about what you just said. If YOU wanted, for example - to film the interactions *around* a wolfcub den, would you not check that the den actually had pups in it first? (otherwise what's the point of filming an empty den?) So, having seen and filmed the existence of pups - you then set up your trailcam at a distance...to film the activity *around* the den. That's what a biologist means when they are trying to keep interference with the wolf pups to a minimum. Ok?
@@pipfox7834
Hey, if you actually believe it wasn't the human contact that brought the bear to kill those cubs, then that's up to you. Obviously, they knew there were cubs in there and they went to the den to film them, which we see on video. This is one of those situations in which you believe what you want to believe and other people are free to disagree with you.
good video, but the whole turn of events and no edits would've been a full education as to how things work out.

@@sleeves1235 lol. They didn't suffocate. Were you even paying attention and miss the giant hole the grizzly dug? There are few animals alive that have a better sense of smell and none that can out dig a grizzly bear. You could bury those puppies and bear would simply find and then dig them out. Those puppies were killed and likely eaten by the bear. There is little doubt about it and that explains why the video was cut just before he got them.

@@gblueslover8807 You didn't see what? The greatly enlarged hole and dug out area where the den was? And yes there was recording time and the author obviously edited it. There is a very obvious jump cut between the bear standing in the hole and when the wolves returned right after the bear left. It seems they didn't want to show the pups being killed and eaten.
You led the bear to the den with your stench.
I was thinking something similar. They stuck a camera down the hole. That being said, I am sure they wanted to see the wolves grow up and had no idea this would happen.
@@culcune tell me this what's more likely and this more so goes to OP damkayaker ,, the bear came because he smelled the human who's last visit was two weeks prior OR the bear came because he smelled the pups who were there at the location for weeks without leaving (meaning also the mother was coming back and forth every few day to feed them)
Nah it’s kinda obvious, animals rely on smell most of the time, if your interfering with an area and leaving all kinds of smells, well u just f kd those animals.
The censorship is so strong you're just missing 70% of the story.
"censorship is when youtube creator doesn't show me puppies getting mauled" 🤣 Yall...
What wasn't shown is quite obvious... And isn't necessary to understand what is behaviorally significant about this event. You guys just seem disappointed you'll have to use 10 seconds of imagination power if you want to see wolf puppies getting mangled by predators, lol.
Trail cams don't record 24/7, and even professional wildlife photographers often miss key shots. What appears to be censorship in these cases is generally just missing footage.
@@Applebottompenis not mangled, eaten. and no, we dont know what happened,bc it was not shown. did all get eaten? did one just get trapped in the dirt and die, did one get away, we dont know
@@BranGrizz Read the pinned comment.
Also, I don't know what kind of table manners the bears in your area have, but most certainly aren't paying attention to how cleanly they dispatch & butcher tiny animals... So yes, mangled, esp if this behavior is more driven by thinning out competing predators from its territory than viewing the pups as a legitimate prey item.
@@Applebottompenis i shouldnt have to read the pinned comment. it is a video media. you don't watch a movie that excludes the climax and just tells you to go read some excerpt. and sure ripped to shreds and left for agony and slow death to lessen predator competition. it's just nature and people need to see shit like that to know easy their lives are
@@Applebottompenis For some reason we shouldn’t be allowed to see how nature REALLY is because, your feelings?
The camera was high enough to stay out of the wolves sight; but in the perfect spot to lure a bear to you. Congratulations bro. Probably should change the title to “pest control”
Just wondering if when you made the first video, you left your scent for the bear to follow.
Yes, humans are on the Grizzly Bear's menu. It is the blood they are after and it ranges from squirrel to human beings. I have never seen a grizzly choose glacier lilies over meat no matter what the conservationists tell you.
@Buying Stuff If you had caught a whiff of the decomposed moose I saw a grizzly bear gnawing on in the Great Bear Wilderness, a stinky hunter might smell like wild roses to the grizzly bear!

What happened to the pups. You got some missing footage. The most important part is missing.
Dead, for Pete sake why aren't people getting it. With how RUclips is they probably had to cut it out.
I've played a lot of survival games that force you to live by the same rules as them. To the bear, this den is an easy shot at a meal. Much needed calories that can be offered with a bit of digging and zero fight. For the pups, its mortifying. One moment you're snug and asleep in a pile with your siblings. The next, you're being ripped out of your home by your fur and killed, hopefully quickly.
Both live by chance and luck. One benefits by the others sacrifice. The other perishes to necessity. Certainty is a scarce commodity in nature, but these pups ensure the bear will live on. Atleast for a little while. And the wolves will grieve, but move on. As time ensures they must.
This is my first time seeing a bear digging a hole that deep just to eat something. Thank you for making this video!
The bear wasn't after food.
@@gregdenys7162 Uh, yeah it was. Bears are opportunistic. If they see something weak and helpless, chances are they're gonna eat it. The bear new what was in that den. They wouldn't expend that much precious energy for no reason.

I have a question....Seeing as how U people (the makers of this video)had walked all around the wolf den even sticking the camera down into the den which of course all of that would leave Ur scents around the den...What if that bear had been trailing Ur scents which led him to that den?🤔Just curious that's why Im asking...Thanks🙂
Thats exactly what i thought.. he should of never went near it
My thoughts exactly. These two alpha predators usually stay away from one another unless force to venture far and cross paths due to winter and lack of prey
Bears are thought to have the best sense of smell of any animal on earth. For example, the average dog's sense of smell is 100 times better than a human's. A blood hound's is 300 times better. A bear's sense of smell is 7 times better than a blood hound's or 2,100 times better than a human's.
@@paddington1670 so you go around copy and pasting it everywhere huh...
Bears try to avoid humans whenever possible so I doubt it, more than likely the bear caught the scent of the wolves and followed it back to the den.
Funny that wolf looked right into the camera , they knew they were being watched.
You do know bears tend to follow the scents of humans because it tends to lead them to food. So as innocent as your intentions are/were, you could of unintentionally led the bear to the den.
What happened around 3:20 when it cut time and suddenly there was a huge hole dug in upper right side?
It was too graphic. They didn't want you to see the gruesome wolf puppy murder that they made happen by putting their human scent trail inside the den for the bear to follow.

This morning I had to hold my 90 lb German Shepherd-Pit mix in a scissor leg grip around his rear legs to prevent him from choking himself out on his collar lead. His base instinct to kill competing predators ( a marauding Alpha Coyote) was almost more than I could restrain. Even with a full harness, I would've had a hard time holding him back. My dog's howls and screams triggered every dog in the area and started them howling. I wish I had been able to video the incident, but I probably would've lost my hold and I know there are 5 more Coyotes living in the area and even at 30-40 lbs, those Coyotes are experienced and vicious killers. My big boy would not fare well 6-1. He got loose from me a couple of times before and gave chase to that same male over the past 3 years. Fortunately on all occasions, the rest of the Coyote pack was scattered across the 2 mile greenbelt and my dog eventually lost ground in the thicket and gave up the chase after 20 minutes.

This is wildlife and anything goes, to all you complaining about the people in the wild who you believe led the bear to the den. My complaint is not with what happens in the wild.

Human morals and beliefs don't apply in the wild, so leave yours at the door. Because this video was edited removing the most essential aspect of the event, the interaction between the bear and cubs, I down voted and flagged this video.

I think it's translation error and should say "red fox den".
Wolves found an abandoned fox den (or killed the fox pups, wolves do that) and enlargened the den for their own use.
A 'earth' is a a term used in British English to describe the home of a fox and some other animals that live below ground, in the earth. Earth is also another word for soil and could well be the origin of the word 'earth' when used to describe a den dug into the soil.
@@mrj.kottari8453 in this context the word earth or den are interchangeable and either word describes the same thing. All though perhaps only to a native speaker of British English. I am unsure about American English I think that's where it gets lost in translation.
looks like this bear found this den because it followed the scent of the human with the camera.
Unlikely..... Bears find wolf dens all the time, just like how wolves find and kill bears when they are hibernating
This happens all the time in nature. The only reason you are mad is because it was filmed. The wolves would do the same thing to bear cubs if given the chance.
bears have a scent tens of times stronger than humans, if the parents visited the den every night then the bear wouldve caught scent of the den even without the dudes 'intervening'. And what if the bear ate the cubs? its the fucking circle of life, the bear need food too.
Your title should be how to lead a bear to a wolf den.
how did you end up leaving the part out where he actually got to the pups?? All that footage and didn't capture nature and the circle of life?
Exactly. I thought I was missing something, so the bear got all of them?
Most people aren't psychopaths who want to see pups brutally murdered by a bear ?
What a weirdo
It's their little secret. The bear never finished the job and these guys used the footage to get rid of some killers before they became killers. Digging up the den then finishing off the pups. Bear was framed
If you are going to make a video like this one I think you should show the entire dig out from start to finish. I know if would have been a death or deaths shown on film but it's natural deaths that happen every day in the wild

Past the eastern side of Alberta, we don't have brown bears OR cougars for that matter. Only MUCH smaller and less aggressive, black ones here. But we have lots of wolves, Lynxes, bobcats, and carcajous (wolverines). Plus foxes and now, a rise in invasive coyotes. They are like the cockroaches of the wild. And according to what has been happening since last year or so, our OTTERS are P'ed off at humans now and attack people. Canadian river otters might be the size of a small dog (20 pounds +), but they have a real bite to them and they are actually mini-wolverines that like water(same family).
Really? Less aggressive? For some reason I believed that black bears were more likely to seek confrontations with humans
how do you have so many coyotes when wolves will kill them?
Why are the Otters mad at humans now?
Never saw zootopia? Explains it quite good. 😉
@@spiderreed350 Why are Otters mad at humans ? because they want to call themselves the Allied Atheist Alliance because it would be the logic way (aince it makes for AAA). But it's nonsense, the one true name is the United Atheist Alliance.
Can’t help but feel like the humans discovering the den and then surveilling it ultimately led the bear to the den.
You can only blame yourself for your own thoughts that don't reflect reality...
@@uschurch you’re a troll. Intentionally or unintentionally you are a troll. All of your recent comments are disparaging and confrontational. Life outside of RUclips got you down?
