  • Each year, brown bears experience a changing set of circumstances. They must cope with sporadic runs of salmon and navigate encounters with other bears who want access to the same resources. Female bears not only must adapt to these conditions, but also protect their offspring at the same time.

    I loved Holly's story of her adoption of bear 503! I watched the story in a different video. Bear 402 was 503's mama, but she went into estrus and mated with another bear. She may have been afraid that the male bear would kill him. Who knows, but bear 503 was left to fend for himself until he met Holly and 719. She adopted him and raised him. The video that I watched actually showed Holly even nursing 503 and 719. She took him in as if he were her own! 503 and 719 grew to be very close to each other! It's a great story! Holly is my favorite mama bear and 503 is my favorite "cubby!" Thanks!!!

I love how knowledgeable and passionate Mike is about the bears. As one of many Katmai viewers, I can really relate to Mike. He is just great, and hopefully he will have a long relationship with Explore. Thank you Mike and thank you again Explore.

    Is she already hibernating this year? Not sure I've seen her recently on the live cam. 🤔

    • @ExploreLiveNatureCams
      @ExploreLiveNatureCams  2 года назад +2

      She usually hangs out on the spit this time of year, and the camera that points to this spit is off due to the lower river seasonal camera outage. You're most likely to see her on the river watch cam, but I don't think she's been spotted there recently.

    And why dont bears ever eat the birds around them?

      @armysenior1780 3 года назад +2

      It wasn't done in front of the cameras and it is rare so they don't know for sure. They speculated he just happened to approach them at an opportune time, wasn't a threat, and maybe just started to trail them. Holly with her age and experience raising cubs was a lucky choice for him I guess.

      @mikefitz6837 5 лет назад +1

      Brown bears in Katmai usually keep their cubs through two or three summers. Family breakup happens in mid to late spring when the mother bear begins her estrous cycle and becomes receptive to mating again.
