This was a beautiful story and so interesting. Sad. People want to reintegrate Grizzlies back into California but we’ve completely taken their land and the landscape.
knockout818 Oh yeah? Well hopefully us LIBERALS will be the ones to keep environmental protection laws safe from the Trump right. I won’t even call them conservatives because they’re not. They’re social fascists in training. Trump’s sons go on African “safaris” and pay to kill Lions, Rhinos, Cheetahs, and Giraffes.
I’ve been a hunter and fisherman all of my life and you can’t do that for decades and not turn into a conservationist. Because you realize the longer you do it how much game animals there AREN’T in areas where there should be a lot of them. Southern California ought to have bear and elk and there is a fair amount of backcountry still left that could support them. But in a century and a half we have destroyed the natural habitat just about completely. It is heartbreaking when I hunt among trees that are older than the American revolution and try to imagine what it was like. I bought a cabin and 16 acres in the mountains about a decade ago and that changed the way I think about just about everything in life. I realize that I’m just a temporary caretaker of land, trees and rocks that will persist for millennia after I’m gone. And today, people have less connection to the natural world than ever, we just keep bringing more and more people into this country. The middle of America will look like Southern California in 50 years.
Forget about white sharks, imagine playing in the waves and a beach grizzly runs up on you!? In that sand, you already know there’s zero chance of you getting away 🌊🐻
The temperament of grizzly bears varies incredibly, as with most bears. With bears in general, it can vary from one bear to the other. A bear living on one side of a mountain can be much more aggressive than the bear living on the other side of it. This, combined with California's high density of human populations, will make it very tricky to bring the grizzly back.
Agree. Really like hiking in the mountains and hills without fear. People that want to bring grizzlies back to CA don't understand that "mother nature" is doing everything possible to kill you. Human engineering is what makes life easy and fun.
Bears are considered family, and given the respect and distance they’re needed to many of the native people of CA. Just because you’re afraid of something doesn’t mean it should be killed to the point of genocide… wait. This idiotic fear of bears is no different than the foreigners idiotic fear of fire. How’s your 2Billion dollar a year budget holding up to the native management practices? Hilarious how all that money, all those helicopters, and vehicles are no where near as effective as frequent (5-15 year Rx-burn frequency), quick and relatively cool Burns a tribal 5 year old would be learning (had foreigners not chosen to murder and steal land that is).
Great example of the hard choices we as humans have to face. Easy to idolize these bears until you have faced one yourself. It is only natural that an animal (us humans) would take out a threat to themselves and their families. It's Darwin's world survival of the fittest baby. Humans have wiped out thier natural predators since the dawn of time. I'm all for preservation but not if that means being tolerant of a bear eating me in my tent. There's a reason why animals that don't attack humans still exist.

Your view of nature and reality is based in fear. My people, and many of the natives of California would and Don consider the bear a relative. Bears have as much if not more things to teach than they do a “malevolent spirit to kill.” It’s that foreigner fear that led to the genocide of the bears and of the native people.
I'm not American but I watch a lot of documentaries about wildlife and I also think it would be a mistake to introduce him again in California because they are top predators or just a human with a very strong weapon to kill him. they are pretty much like great white sharks a killing machine. it's not just any caliber that knocks one down. unfortunately either humans or bears.
Your wrong about great white sharks 🦈 and grizzly bears🐻 their not just some merciless killing machines out for blood their just animals that are doing their part in balancing the ecosystems from which they’ve evolved in and without them the natural balance (especially the food chain) in both ecosystems would end up collapsing, which in turn affects us at the end of the day as human being who greatly depend on these ecosystems for a lot of things (The most important of which is food)
Although it would certainly be a much much smaller imprint, the grizzly could be reintroduced or even cloned using dna from old hair or bone and present day brown bears. I would say California;s wild places could easily support 750 bears.

Why not Restrict them to National parks only. Any grizzly seen outside of the parks is a death sentence. Then you also open a season on them and maybe we can keep a few tens or dosens in parks
boy your simple mind is embarrassing, learn about the ecology of the Grizzly Bear, putting these animals on an island essentially what a National Park is does not work, you need continous connecting habitat for bears to prevent inbreeding
There’s no way they’d ever be allowed to exist in California nor could a healthy population sustain itself. Besides being a danger, we’ve damned and diverted almost every river in California. We used to have one of the largest salmon runs in the world feeding these bears. The last fully intact rivers have pitiful salmon returns that are getting less and less every year. There’s absolutely no way…
Grizzlies were part of California’s ecosystem, they were the dominant predator here in California for thousands of years, but there favorite places to be in California are now where people live, like the coasts, the 1602 Spanish Vizcaino expedition recorded seeing grizzlies in Monterey coming to the beach one night to feed on a beached whale carcass, grizzlies in some ways would have been more prevalent in California than in Alaska at one point, and of course Alaska had started to be explored by land before California was, because the Russians had penetrated Alaska in 1749, and the Spaniards didn’t start exploring California by land until 1769
California Grizzly Bears lived alongside the Short Faced Bear American Lion Sabertooth Tigers and Dire Wolves during the Pleistocene age. The Grizzly outlasted all of them a testimony of it's strength until humans came along.
It’s true about the transformation, but only if you sell your soul to the devil, pretty much. Don’t care if people believe me or not, we are spiritual beings.....what will you exchange for your soul?
What we did was not survival of the fittest by any means. By the logic all of the other iconic animals we drove to extinction were also cases of “survival of the fittest” like the dodo birds🦤 and Tasmanian tigers

This documentary makes me cry and feel sad for the grizzlies. Those who hunt and cause extinction to this beautiful beast can all go to hell. We definitely need to bring back the grizzly and all native species. We humans need to coexist with our nature friends because without them we are nothing.
Why conflate the native people with the foreigner people? One group chose and chooses to see bears with reverence, the other group is idiotically afraid of another mammal and chose genocide for safety and stolen land

Well people are the problem on this plant and grizzly might help 😂
look for dna ,even fragmented in stuffed bears ,puzzle it together - and clone em - with help of other grizzly subspecies.
manolo manolodlospavos BRILLIANT!!!! That way, we will make the grizzly bear much bigger than the average grizzly.

Yeah that was a great call. Thanks grandpa
Exterminated is a better word then Hunted.

Big difference
