    My first ever bear encounter after 84 years in central Mass. June 2020, In my outside workshop and "BRUNO" walked within 8 feet of me. Not sure if he saw me, but I sure saw him up close. A beautiful animal and appeared very calm as he strolled by. I never felt threatened. Thankyou Penn. Rangers for such a wonderful video.

    Black bears fascinate me. They almost remind me of an oversized Black Labrador combined with a racoon. Although Ive never seen one in the wild (not super prominent here), I nevertheless remain astonished at the intelligence you can see lying behind their eyes. I know there are exceptions but, everything I read about them seems to showcase a reasonable level of aggression considering how dangerous they could potential be. I understand that they are a bit of a nuisance in areas where bear and human share the land. Nevertheless I wish to see one in person one day. I just hope its not a mother with cubs.
    Documentaries like this are awesome since I can see them and learn without having to do the work myself. This one is nice and long too. Thanks for uploading. 👍👍

    • @rustyshackleford6927
      @rustyshackleford6927 Год назад

      Seeing a mother with her cubs is amazing. And not dangerous as long as you keep your distance and stay aware of your surroundings. Don’t get between the mother and the cubs, and don’t do anything sudden to frighten them, and absolutely never feed them.
      I don’t know where you are, but black bears are abundant in the forests of the eastern US, Midwest, and in Canada everywhere from Manitoba to the east. Back when I’d go camping I’d see them all the time in Ontario in many of the provincial parks… and they’d love going into peoples campsites who were foolish and forgot to lock up their food overnight.
      When I was really young, my aunt would take me to the dump in Muskoka at dusk, where locals would sit in their cars and watch the bears come out to scavenge for food. Ona good night you could see a dozen or so bears rummaging around the freshly dumped compost bins looking for snacks. The county does a much better job keeping the bears out of there though, because it’s really not good for them, or the people… still it was a lot of fun as a kid seeing them.

    Very interesting documentary on the life of bears. One word of caution, never, ever approach a den that is occupied, as shown in this movie, as there is a high probability of attack, in most cases. And certainly in the western states, this could mean a gruesome death.

      Cathy thanks for a very important learn, bears are not apt in sharing their young unless it's not natural. This tells me the bears have trust in particular humans with a gentle hands. Your work is highly needed not just for the bears but for everyone to be educated, you may live in bear country. Thanks for the video I enjoy looking at bears.

    I love bears, can you tell by user name? A few years ago, I came upon a bear, in a clearing in the forest/aka/ in my back yard, eating food I had put out for birds, deer and anyone hungry. May-June time, and I knew one was around, as I'd seen big tracks and lots of cubs tracks the past few weeks, but this day, only the adult, mama. I am not sure how I got so close 50 ft. 65-ft feet without seeing her, it was open-but-forested and once you spot one, the black stands out, intensely-but I froze and in awe, all I could do was to coo at the bear, like I do other animals, (and I've kept my deer fairly calm when I feed, they leave the area, but more like an annoying wandering off as opposed to terror running) I spoke calmly. She got up on all fours, she had been actually sitting on her behind, legs spread and the food on the ground in front of her-actually kind of adorable! She came toward me in a slow pigeon-toed walk as if we'd been doing this years and anyone paying attention could tell she was overcome with curiosity. Her neck craned toward me, eyes, big and round and, well, textbook curiosity. We talked for a few minutes. I talked, she listened. At one point, she stood upright but her expression didn't change, there was tall grass and I think she could see me better?? There was probably only 15-20 feet between us. My husband came to the back door of the house, which was about 40 ft away. opened the door and he said, "do you have your camera?" I turned quickly, annoyed and said, "be quiet!" when I turned my head back, I was a little abrupt in my head movements, or maybe the scolding tone I had used with my dear husband, and in three little leaps, which were an almost slow motion to me - she was gone and those three little leaps covered a gigantic length! This was one of the most wonderful moments of my entire life.

    Gary is sadly misinformed when stating that black bears exist in North America, but does not indicate that they are at home on Vancouver Island. Canada is part of North America. He mentioned Mexico. He mentioned 3 types of bears native to North America, brown, black and polar. Is he not aware of the grizzly bear?
