Thank you so much for watching! Bears have always captivated me. As the largest terrestrial predators alive today, I see them as the closest thing to T-rex left on Earth! Ever since I watched the bear attack scene in the Revenant movie, my fascination of bears increased to a level that it has not come down from. The only time I ever saw a bear in the wild (as I type this, I'll be going on various expeditions soon), was in Lamar Valley in Yellowstone. A nice old couple lended me their spotting scope and when I peered through it, I saw a huge grizzly, digging at the base of a tree stump across the valley. A pack of wolves was making its way toward across the valley too.
When I visited Alaska for two weeks, the lodge owner in Talkeetna told me there were 2,000+ pound brown bears seen, but that it's all local legend. Either way, it's stories like that that get my gears turning. The mysteries of this world enthrall me beyond measure. I would hate if the world ever became ...not mysterious. I just would not like it as much.

Great video. I wanted to discover if Grizzlies were Brown Bears and your video popped up. I learned this and so much more. I've heard of Kodiak Bears but never knew how much bigger they were than Grizzlies nor the many differences. I always thought Grizzlies were the biggest Bears. You have a great talent for explaining the differences in species. I live in an area where there are only Black Bears and then only in highly wooded areas. Every once in a while we hear on the news how a Black Bear was spotted in a neighborhood but it is rare. I've never seen a Bear in the wild and after watching your video, I'm somewhat glad of that though they are truly majestic creatures. I'm going to check out more of your videos. Good luck with your studies and future videos.
Thanks so much! Means a lot. I don’t consider this to be my best work and I’m actually debating on if I should keep it on the channel, but if some ppl are enjoying it I guess I will keep it on! Future videos will be better production wise
I really love bears in general I live in Florida we have black bears a friend of mine was questioning about bears so I decided to send her this video. This is very informative thank you you did a great job
This means a lot. Thank you so much for the kind words. It fuels me to make better videos bc this was not my best work. I’m getting better though so stay tuned! Thanks again, and keep it wild! 💚
Note: I should have clarified in the video that some grizzly bears can climb trees. They certainly cannot climb as well as black bears, but if a grizzly tries hard enough, it could potentially climb it. Most adult grizzly bears however cannot climb most trees (not very high at least) in their habitat. They are simply too large and their bodies aren't as well designed for climbing trees.
This was a very good video ❤
Thank you! 💚🌎 Keep it wild!
This is great! The only reason i’m seeing this is bcuz this guy was my doordash driver and he gave ma a qr code😂 I subbed so it worked!
Thanks for the sub!
@@WildPrimal23 No problem!
i enjoyed your video, was nice and clear, keep up the good work chief!
Glad you enjoyed it! Will do. Keep it wild! 🦬🌲🌲
Awesome!! So.looking forward to hear ur knowledge.
Lol, love the bloopers. Good video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. Keep it wild! 🐻🌲🌲
nice vid mate subbed
Great job!
Thanks! Keep it wild! 🌎🌲
Outstanding! Very good work! You were born to be a biologist AND to share you love of this subject with the multitudes. A+ Respectfully, Michael Weeks, San Antonio, Texas
Wow, thank you! Yea I really do enjoy this stuff. Just trying to figure out how to be successful on RUclips so I can raise awareness for conservation! Thanks again 🙏 Keep it wild! 🌲🌲🐺
Grizzlies evolved on the open plains following herds of game,Bison elk,deer proghorn,and competed with American Lions, sabertooth tigers etc. But the American aGrizzly was much stronger and better than all commercial. There were no trees to climb so the Grizzly defense became his aggressive offense. Told to me by Native American
That is fascinating!
Grizzly bears are brown bears.
Grizzly bear is a subspecies of brown bear.
It’s like Siberian tiger is a subspecies of tiger.
So Kodiak bears are sometimes found on mainland Alaska? Or is that just the coastal brown bears? And how big do coastal brown bears get, bigger than the grizzly but smaller than the Kodiak?
Coastal brown bears are found on the mainland of Alaska and coastal brown bears are different from Kodiak‘s because they’re thinner with an orange or reddish brown coat and they also look more muscular well Kodiak bears look more like mainland grizzly bears which are bigger and have more for Kodiak bears just take it to the next level with more for more fat
Nice channel but the music is super annoying.
Aren't all Kodiak Bears on Kodiak Island only hence the name ?
There are some in captivity which is why he said almost all...
which do you think would win in a fight between a Grizzly and a Tiger(or Lion)?
Depends on the situation and the subspecies, because I think Siberian tigers can defeat most brown bears. But an absolute monster of a brown bear may be tough for a smaller tiger subspecies to take down
@@WildPrimal23 even at close to same size the bear would still likey be more powerful because bears are built for power but tigers are built more for speed and hiding not to mention the fact that bears have a lair of fat and fur tht can protect them from tiger attacks, then there is that video of a female sloth bear fighting a tiger bigger than itself, so if a female sloth bear can fight off a tiger just imagine what a 700-pound grizzly can do, not just to smaller tiger subspecies. the bear would more likely be victorious. ruclips.net/video/trQvtuCdmCM/видео.htmlsi=8J_9C_AVDe_Y18FS
@@WildPrimal23 so, don't you have something to say?
maybe some explanation?
@@WildPrimal23 In a fight between an adult male Siberian tiger and an adult male Grizzly, there's no universe where the tiger stands a chance. There won't even be a fight, the Grizzly would tear the tiger in half in under two seconds.
@@kaitospin3944 Let’s make sure we know which subspecies of brown bear we are talking about, because Siberian tigers EAT brown bears in their native habitat, and those bears are just as big as North American inland grizzlies. Not only can they defeat them in battle, but brown bears are a PREY ITEM for them! Feel free to fact check me on any reputable source. :)
I was hoping for an elaboration on average coastal brown bears and how they compare to grizzly bears rather than the concentrated Kodiak variant of coastal brown bears as their distinctions are more obvious.
I may make a video like that in the future! I chose to compare Kodiak bears specifically to grizzly bears as an example just because those two subspecies of brown bear are pretty popular yet there are still lots of people who don’t know all the differences between the two
@@WildPrimal23 Great video, but please do a vid on the standard American coastal brown bear vs inland American grizzly. That comparison would be more useful to the masses as the Kodiak bears are a total anomaly due to being so isolated.
@@Dr.Ian-PlectRegardless of mainland coastal brown bears being more closely related to inland "grizzlies", wouldn't it be more useful to know the distinctions amongst them as opposed to the radically different isolated Kodiak variant?
Are diet, size, and general behavior not enough to distinguish regional variance even within the same landmass? A coastal grizzly will walk past you if it's near a river with access to salmon. Whereas an inland grizzly would statically be more aggressive towards humans who walk past them. Can you acknowledge that there are significant differences that are worth exploring and that Kodiaks are an outlying anomaly?
@@Dr.Ian-Plect I understand that there aren't any coastal brown bears in the American mainland(United States specifically); just grizzlies. It's possible that they existed in coastal American states but may have been killed off by humans.
Nevertheless, Kodiak bears are literally an anomaly in size 100% due to isolation even relative to typical coastal brown bears found throughout the Alaskan mainland. Are you denying that?
Regardless, my initial inquiry stands which essentially is why not compare those standard Alaskan coastal brown bears to grizzlies?
@@Dr.Ian-Plect I get that you're doubling down on all North American brown bears being "grizzlies". But if that stance stems from mainstream science then it is pretty senseless. Science has gone "woke" and that logic doesn't account for the obvious distinctions between regional variants hence the naming convention. "Coastal" isn't racist. What's next, we can't call black bears "black"? It's a legitimate means to identify specific types of bears even within the same species.
Jesus Christ dude. Are you seriously falling for that globalist Marxist elitist prerogative to rewrite history and science at the expense of everything factual? Do you also believe that there are more than 2 genders too? 😮💨
Real Grizzly Bears are inlanders. They don't have fish like salmon to catch, like whale carcasses, and even seal carcasses to fatten themselves up for winter. All of their prey is up on all fours and they are always running like elk, deer, bison, moose, and even rocky mountain goats and bighorn sheep if they can catch them up on steep mountainous slopes. Yellowstone National Park Grizzlies is one example. That means Inland Grizzlies are a bit smaller or lighter than their coastal brown bear counterparts, but they're much more agile on foot. I fear the inland brown bear Grizzlies more than coastal brown varieties because they're more of a search-and-destroy type brown bears than their foraging counterparts around the coastlines like Alaska for instance, where food is plentiful. In Yellowstone National Park, not so much. They will have to catch them if they wanna survive the winter, including us if the opportunity presents itself.
I thought Kodiak bears scientific name is Ursus arctos middendorfi
@@beastinfection638 Yes, but the real Grizzly Bear's scientific name is Ursus arctos horribilis. They're inlanders not the coastal types like Kodiak bears or Ursus arctus middendorfi.
Best part was the bloopers
