They don’t look at humans as prey, because we are bipedal. Grizzly bears and American Black bears would usually only attack you if they feel threatened, or spooked/surprised. How ever there are obviously outliers as all bears aren’t the same. But with polar bears, none of that applies, they will kill a human without thought, as a food source.
@@sandinheavenit's about calming telling the bear you're there because if they get startled by you (or you scream like a prey animal) they have a higher chance of ripping your head off.
That's the problem: it's a greeting. Shouldn't it be more like a warning? I'm not saying scream at the bear but how about adopting a more commanding tone consistently?
Yeah, I read that a bloodhounds sense of smell is like 2500 times better than a humans and a bears sense of smell is 7 times that of a bloodhound. The bear knew they were there from like 3 miles away
@@ElieGroff yeah, I watched a video the other day from a ranger about a mother grizzly that was raising its cubs 100 yards from a major road. He said it was because male grizzly bears are skittish around people but will kill cubs that aren’t his, so this mother grizzly for 3 seasons has raised her cubs as close to humans as she can get. Nature is crazy
Honestly he’s right to panic in any form. But that bear knew about them long before they knew about it. If it was hungry or perceived them as a threat… there probably wouldn’t have been a video
Talking to the Bear really is advised though. One of the big reasons Grizzlies attack people is because they are startled by them and they immediately jump into a territorial 'fight or flight' mode.
Yeah but there’s been a lot of attacks where grizzlies follow them because their interested sizing them up then change in a second to mauling them. A mother bear is another example sometimes they will be totally fine but the second they cross your path if you’re between her and her cubs even if you don’t see the cubs she can attack.
When I was in Alaska walking past dark to my motel room that was up 8 steps and down about 5 doors. I heard something and as I opened my room door, I looked back and 5 grizzly bears were there trying to get in a big garbage container that had chains on it. I was within 20 feet when I walked by them , and it was so dark I didn’t notice them… I never walked after dark again and to this day I still get freaked out . Fast forward 25 years , I was working in a bar in California in the mountains and late at night I had no customers, so I was cleaning up the trash and walked out to a smaller garbage container and this time a black bear was there and I walked straight to him not knowing until he ran brushing against me running away.. note to self stay away from garbage late at night
I've seen several bears in my 20 years of hiking and if you find yourself that close to a bear you need to slowly back away from it and make sure you're bear spray/gun is handy. Do not attempt to get a picture unless you want to be dinner. In all but one case the bears I saw immediately scampered away from me, they preferred smaller easier prey. If a Bear does not run away at the sight of a human that means its considering attacking and make no mistake you don't get that close to a bear without it sensing you. The last time I visted Yellowstone I saw so many tourists getting too close to big animals I'm surpised nature didn't hand out a bunch of Darwin awards.
Imagine if humans weren't such a virus how many more wild animals there would be. Kinda cool to think about, but also sad. Understandable we had to reduce the chances of imminent death, to an extent, but that doesn't justify the behaviors in the thousand years since we have had the technology to keep the dangerous animals at bay. We wiped them out, instead of learning to live in symbiosis.
I don't even get it with people and their damned cameras, even buffalo are dangerous. Why put yourself in that kind of situation? 🤨 Screw the camera and use some f***en braincells!
@@annm4833They use a distinct huffing especially when instructing cubs about something questionable Two cubs were outside my tent in Alaska running around sniffing my tent …their mom was a ways away but huffed at them and they immediately snapped to and left
Katmai is open to public only during salmon seasons when bears are well-fed by tasty fresh fish and not interested in considering people as food source.
Right but that doesn't mean you shouldn't exercise this kind of caution. Freak incidents occur in all parts of the world where it is thought to be "safe."
They will literally maul you and eat you. They’re digestive systems can handle it. Most often they won’t go after humans unless food sources are scarce.
I'd rather this than the USUAL video of REALLY loud Americans yelling and hollering etc in a wildlife video and completely ruining the beauty of the amazing animal recorded !!
I remember once as a child camping and having to pee at 2am. I grabbed a flashlight, went to the outhouse, opened the door and came face to face with a huge brown bear. It had its nose in the hole and when I open the door it turned to face me. I was sleepy at the time and my brain wasn’t quite 100% LOL. I just closed the door, turned around and stumbled back to my cabin. Never heard the bear leave, wasn’t followed. To this day I have no idea how long the bear stayed in there or what it did after we came face to face. I do remember staying awake in my cabin and listening to every sound outside until I drifted off.
That's a beautiful bear! ❤🎉 Want to paint 🎨 him! Used to a lot. I was on TV 📺 for it in early elementary school. Lions, tigers, and bears were my favs, along with jaguars , elephants and an occasional leopard 🐆 ❤️. In the 60s. I'm an old bear now. Funny, that's what my wonderful lifelong wife calls me, her Bear. Bet their hair was standing up for that bear! Beautiful color. My favorite bear colors. Majestic and looks very strong 💪. I'll dare say that they may have some future dreams about this! Great video. It's not shaking too much lol😅. Voices pretty calm too. Thanks ❤
not even close. No animal in North America is anywhere close to being the most dangerous animal on the planet. Grizzlies eat a lot more vegetation than meat. But rhinos and Cape Buffalo are plant-eaters too. And bulls. And the most dangerous large animal in Africa is the hippo. Almost all grizzly charges are adrenaline-fuelled defensive charges. Sometimes they turn aside before making contact. Sometimes they knock you down and eventually leave provided you don't move. Sometimes they tear the s/t out of you and leave you with life-changing injuries without killing you. Very rarely, they will stalk, kill and eat a person but the chance of that happening is very low.
Haha when I was a child this was like my play ground. My sister and I would always get playtime cut short because our Pyrenees would smell a bear and bring us inside. My mom worked at the park and we lived in king salmon, AK. Bears were an everyday occurrence. It’s their territory not ours especially in Katmai.
How did your dog signal to leave the area? I’m surprised you didn’t ignore it . Kids hate having playtime cut off. You must have had a good mum that explained it well.
@@bari2883 I was the youngest so she would lightly grab my arm with her mouth, and push my sister with the rest of her body. Once this happened a two or three times we knew to come inside because every time she would do that literally as soon as we got inside we would see the bear strolling through the backyard. She’d even go after porcupines in the yard if they were close to an area we were playing.
For those unfamiliar with Katmai you may want to look up Brooks Falls, located in Katmai. Incredible live cams from June-October-ish. Bears are well aware of people on trails, tho vigilance and awareness always needed. Some of the lodges in area have a mandatory bear behavioral class before allowing guests on trails. Bear encounters are not uncommon there, and very rarely end badly
The National Parks in the US need to do as Alaska does and implement reasonable, strict rules, not allowing anyone who will not obey them on the trails or even in the park.
@@TheRivrPrncessI disagree. Too many laws and social safety nets that have defeated Darwinism. Dumbest people on the planet breed like rabbits but no longer die as often from their stupidity. It’s destroying the USA and eventually duh world.
On the cdt I came around a corner to see a grizzly tearing apart a stump. We let it do its business with the stump and talked a lot. It moved on and then the trail disappeared. It was 2021 and the trail team had not cleared it since 2018. We had to follow the bear to get out. We went over 4 mountains to get to the highway. We took shifts for sleep that night and we couldn't have a fire. Longest night of my life.
I'm confused, you had to follow the bear over 4 mountains? If the trail hadn't been cleared for that long was it even defined anymore? Also no fire because of wildfires or bear or what?
Actually it was "Help Me he's eating me". That idiot thought Grizzlies were his friends. He put his tent right on the banks of the stream where they were fishing for salmon before hibernation. His bestest friend Machine dragged him out of his tent and that idiot went for his video camera?, but didn't have time to take the lens off. There's audio of the result of screwing with Alpha Predators. The tape was only heard by his biographer Werner Herzog, given to him by a friend of Treadwells who kept his Travelogs. Herzog listened very briefly, turned it off and said do not ever listen to this- ever. Destroy it. She turned it over to the Rangers where the attack occurred. It has never been released out of deference to his family. There is a re-enacted tape floating around that is most likely very accurate. The only thing left of him was his spine and his hand with his watch. She was dragged into the bushes. The ranger said Machine knew exactly who he was killing- the only identifiable parts were their faces
Bears like the coastal brown bears at Katmai aren't looking for trouble with humans or other bears. If you're threatening them, surprise them, or are too close to a mother's cubs, that's about the only time to be worried.
Wild animals are unpredictable, when you run into a bear, whatever the location, you should exercise extreme caution. Generally speaking, these bears don't attack, but freak incidents occur and you don't want to be the victim of one.
@@TheRivrPrncessthey suddenly charge all the time. Why would a hungry bear give prey a warning? I reckon you don’t hunt nor have you ever encountered a bear in real life kid.
bear body language, this bear was curious about them but cautious by pretending to be sniffing his surroundings while slowly moving closer for a better assessment before backing down. He let them know by huffing that he was a non threat. It was checking out the woman but the man scared it, you can see the bear said screw it it's not worth it. if they would have ran it could have ended bad.
I would rather carry a gun in the woods than to have my only alternative be to try and direct the bear away by speaking to this absolute apex predator.
I would never be hiking in bear country unless I was with an experienced guide. I don't know if that was the case here, but the man and woman did very good.
I was hiking in BC many years ago and wore a cow bell to make sure I did not surprise one. Still it was unnerving a bit because we were hiking in tall grass. Visibility was about 10 ft.
The Katmai is a wonderful place! We visited for my 50th birthday. Each small group had a mandatory Ranger introduction. The ranger’s first words were “Today, everyone of you will come closer to a Brown Bear than you are at all comfortable with!”….He was right! It was at the height of the salmon migration and more Brown Bears congregate there than anywhere in the world except someplace in Russia.
@@sarah.s.flanagan I thought the same thing. I live in NJ and a few years ago some college kids from Rutgers were hiking in one of our forests here. They saw a black bear and it was very curious and started following them. They tried to scare it away but it didn’t work and it started running towards them. Naturally the young men were frightened and they took off in different directions. Three of them met back up and went looking for their friend. Eventually park rangers located him and he had been mauled to death. I also remember reading somewhere that there are more people killed by black bears then by grizzlies
Most black bear victims are the vulnerable, either children or elderly folk. @@lisal.4498 For healthy adults in good shape, grizzlies are far more dangerous than black bears. Black bears rarely attack, and when they do, as I say, it's normally children
@@Justicia007yes but we have basically taken over everything built roads n houses and take land cut down trees loggin for our benefit and we still have to hike or go places where we KNOW they live its like someone walking into ur house and gets mad that ur there.
@adukeken861 And the bear showed a healthy respect for the people, viewing them as superior and went the opposite way. The forest belongs to both humans and bears.
@@MA-vn8vt No, it is not like someone walking into your house and getting mad that you are there. This bear showed respect to the humans, viewing them as superior and it respectfully went the opposite way
Why did humans build the trail? For the bears? Humans have the right to enjoy nature, too. But there are rules. Trouble is, the bears also are bad at following the rules. I couldn't enjoy a walk in the woods if I knew there were bears out there to get me. So I stick to zoos where the bears and other animals are locked in cages in order to keep me safe. But I understand the human desire to get outside and enjoy nature.
That chuffing and jaw chomping at the end of the video is not a good sign, as it’s something bears will do under stress and it’s one of the warning they give out for you to back off before they attack.
I would imagine the rangers make sure those bear bellies are always full knowing they’ll be interacting with humans. Otherwise hungry bears get aggressive.
From what I've heard, black bears and grizzly bears usually won't bother with humans unless they're provoked. Polar bears are the ones that will gladly eat humans if they come across them.
I lived in Alaska for a decade and have tremendous love and respect for bears yet would never refer to them as “harmless.” Most bear encounters end up OK, but some don’t. These people were smart to make noise, not to run, and to put barriers (brush) between them and the bears. You’re correct in it’s good there weren’t cubs! At a place we routinely hiked just outside of Anchorage several people were killed by a brown (aka, grizzly) bear when they inadvertently came upon it’s food cache. These are wild animals.
You don't think that grizzly could take a head in one swipe ? FYI, Kodiak bears are grizzly bears that eat mostly salmon. They live on Kodiak island in Alaska. Hence the name.
Careless. This reminds me of Stephanie Blais, 44, female who was camping with her two children and husband at a family cabin on McKie Lake when the bear killed her.
So if you live in an area with bears you’re just not allowed to be in nature? That’s ridiculous. Just bring a gun or bear spray and know how to handle bear encounters

From what I’ve seen, Bears are either charging maniacs who clearly want to kill you, or they are just chillin’
It often depends on whether or not a bear has cubs near.
Much like humans

For real. They either don’t care about your presence or they’ll play jump rope with your entrails.
If you’ve ever encountered a bear and it left you alone, that just means it already had something else to eat earlier that day.

Wild animals are unpredictable, when you run into a bear, whatever the location, you should exercise extreme caution. Generally speaking, these bears don't attack, but freak incidents occur and you don't want to be the victim of one.
Sometimes bears are not stalking a person who is walking on a trail.
Sometimes the bear just wants to use the trail at the same time as the hiker.
That is the chillest bear I’ve ever seen..literally acted as if they weren’t even there
Needless to say how lucky they were, that lazy looking Bear could've suddenly exploded towards them without warning!
@bttawfiq No. Bears give a warning. They do not just suddenly "explode towards people".
@@TheRivrPrncessthey suddenly charge all the time. Why would a hungry bear give prey a warning? I reckon you don’t hunt nor have you ever encountered a bear in real life kid.
@@TheRivrPrncesshat's stupid BS, no predator is going to warn it's prey
bear body language, this bear was curious about them but cautious by pretending to be sniffing his surroundings while slowly moving closer for a better assessment before backing down. He let them know by huffing that he was a non threat. It was checking out the woman but the man scared it, you can see the bear said screw it it's not worth it. if they would have ran it could have ended bad.
They handle it well
You know it’s ridiculous how people are so scared of Australia. We don’t have equivalents to bears and wolves like America does.
Spiders. It’s the spiders in Australia that we’re terrified of 😅
@@Meg_ManAnd snakes

Bears wolves coyotes and then there's the cats, mountain lions and bobcats
You just have modern day dinosaurs in your water.
I live in Alaska and it’s normal to see this and I love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Bear’s like guys I’m stuffed on salmon and you look like vegans… this isn’t what you think, i just wanted some boop snoots
I would rather carry a gun in the woods than to have my only alternative be to try and direct the bear away by speaking to this absolute apex predator.
bear spray in hand while walking in bear country is recommended and a good alternative
Yikes! Ever read “A Bears Embrace”? I know the couple, true story. Keep safe out there folks. Thanks for sharing, glad you got out alive!
His body language looked very calm
It's a trail so the bear's probably seen humans before and knows we don't want to be near it
@@tl566 The bear is also showing a healthy respect for the people.
@@TheRivrPrncessno it's not, animals do not respect humans. WTH are you talking about
@@electricspark5271 The healthy fear of humans as superior is showing respect to them.
@@TheRivrPrncess WTH are you on. That statement is incoherent
I would never be hiking in bear country unless I was with an experienced guide. I don't know if that was the case here, but the man and woman did very good.
I was hiking in BC many years ago and wore a cow bell to make sure I did not surprise one. Still it was unnerving a bit because we were hiking in tall grass. Visibility was about 10 ft.
I live in a town full of grizzlies everywhere and in 30 years of walking and hiking have only encountered one somewhat close omce...it huffed and left
2driverpls652 Bears recognize it as a " dinner bell"🤣
The Katmai is a wonderful place!
We visited for my 50th birthday. Each small group had a mandatory Ranger introduction. The ranger’s first words were “Today, everyone of you will come closer to a Brown Bear than you are at all comfortable with!”….He was right! It was at the height of the salmon migration and more Brown Bears congregate there than anywhere in the world except someplace in Russia.
“Go to the left” 😂😂. Bear: yeah, ight!
That's a grizzly
Alaskan brown

@@threeforkcreekoutdoors704 same thing different name
@@calamityclash0018 grizzlies are inland and browns are on the coastal areas like the kenai
@@threeforkcreekoutdoors704 still a Grizzley/Alaskan Brown Bear
They’re just so incredibly unpredictable.
Bears are so unpredictable- both black and brown. If your gonna hike and you don’t own a gun at least carry bear spray
No, black bears are very shy and generally you can just clap your hands and they'll run away from you
@@sarah.s.flanagan I thought the same thing. I live in NJ and a few years ago some college kids from Rutgers were hiking in one of our forests here. They saw a black bear and it was very curious and started following them. They tried to scare it away but it didn’t work and it started running towards them. Naturally the young men were frightened and they took off in different directions. Three of them met back up and went looking for their friend. Eventually park rangers located him and he had been mauled to death. I also remember reading somewhere that there are more people killed by black bears then by grizzlies
Most black bear victims are the vulnerable, either children or elderly folk. @@lisal.4498 For healthy adults in good shape, grizzlies are far more dangerous than black bears. Black bears rarely attack, and when they do, as I say, it's normally children
@@sarah.s.flanagan "generally" is the start of the problem.
Never carried a gun in 30 years of hiking in my town thats full of grizzlies...only had one come somewhat close once
Everyone in these kinds of videos say "Hey Bear" and then are surprised when the bear goes to say hi back 😂
My question is to Hikers. Is the scenery worth dying for? Not trying to be a jerk but it’s common sense that there will be bears, so why risk it?
Their paws look so cute when they walk from front and behind 😍
Until he decides to put the PAWS on YOU
@@electricspark5271 yep lol . from behind through someone else's eyes is best 😆
I've always been amused by their feet and how they walk, bears are such strange creatures,
@@John-d9e4x yes so cute
@@electricspark5271 that is true that's why I rely on other people's videos 😆
That is one of the scariest things that can happen. These 2 people are amazing what nerves of steel
More likely just experienced hikers that have seen bears in the wild before.
I think he was just responding to the friendly "Hello bear". His face said "Howdy. What yall doin back there??"
He’s so cute 🤗🐻
-get off the trail
-turn the fuck around and run at the speed of light
Running would trigger their predatory instincts. If you run, you die.
@@miltonbates6425 I forgot about that, you're right
@@miltonbates6425 It would be very difficult to do. Every instinct tells me to run. I know I shouldn't, but . . .
@@AKHWJ3ST you need to prepare for that while camping in America
"Hello Bear"
"Hello human, you are lucky I just had lunch with my family"
I'll never go anywhere wild animals are, like bears and cougars, without a gun.
What’s scarier then one bear, two bears.
Welcome to scary Bear Attacks today episode takes us to..."
Katmai NP bears seem to be very courteous to hikers. Have seen many videos like this and the bears always seem laid back like this.
I've watched videos where the bears were not so laid back. They are a wild animal. Show respect.
Bear encounters people in its home
The Earth is our home too. We share it with them.
@@Justicia007 Then we need to stop making a mess outa it
@@Justicia007yes but we have basically taken over everything built roads n houses and take land cut down trees loggin for our benefit and we still have to hike or go places where we KNOW they live its like someone walking into ur house and gets mad that ur there.
@adukeken861 And the bear showed a healthy respect for the people, viewing them as superior and went the opposite way. The forest belongs to both humans and bears.
@@MA-vn8vt No, it is not like someone walking into your house and getting mad that you are there. This bear showed respect to the humans, viewing them as superior and it respectfully went the opposite way
"hello bear"
"hello lunch"
Wow, you did not even literally copy the top comment! How original!
I applaud these people. If I survived an encounter like that, I'd just go home.😮
Kodiak bears are generally peaceful and have been living alongside humans for centuries in the Island
If someone breaks into your house you are going to protect it and try to kill them... Well, folks the same thing applies in the wild.
Why did humans build the trail? For the bears? Humans have the right to enjoy nature, too. But there are rules. Trouble is, the bears also are bad at following the rules. I couldn't enjoy a walk in the woods if I knew there were bears out there to get me. So I stick to zoos where the bears and other animals are locked in cages in order to keep me safe. But I understand the human desire to get outside and enjoy nature.
That chuffing and jaw chomping at the end of the video is not a good sign, as it’s something bears will do under stress and it’s one of the warning they give out for you to back off before they attack.
Thats just nervousness not so much attack behaviour
I like nature but that's way too close to me😮
I would imagine the rangers make sure those bear bellies are always full knowing they’ll be interacting with humans. Otherwise hungry bears get aggressive.
Bears hate it when you say “hey bear”.
Just stay in your back garden guys!!!!
From what I've heard, black bears and grizzly bears usually won't bother with humans unless they're provoked. Polar bears are the ones that will gladly eat humans if they come across them.
The Tim Treadwell school of knowledge
Depends on the grizzly’s hunger level.
Black bears, possibly. Grizzlies, absolutely not
Cocaine bear
Oh no! Lol
@@ELOAAMinistries lol 🤣🤣🤣
I’d never be as calm as they were with a freaking grizzly a few yards away!!!
That bear couldn’t have cared less about the hikers.I understand the hiker’s apprehension but they weren’t in any real danger.
i always have dreams about having to run or escape from bears and the bears are like three times how they normally would be...
Those are the dreams I have while I camp in grizzly country lol
I've always had bear dreams too 😅
Can we take a minute to appreciate dude’s
commitment to filming what could’ve potentially been his death all for our entertainment 👏🏼
The cameraman never dies.
Psychopath
"Hello bear" would most definetely not be my first response seeing a bear.
clearly this dude has to have a gun or no way possible he could of been this calm
That’s a huge bear but completely harmless. Good thing it wasn’t a mom with cubs tho.
I lived in Alaska for a decade and have tremendous love and respect for bears yet would never refer to them as “harmless.” Most bear encounters end up OK, but some don’t. These people were smart to make noise, not to run, and to put barriers (brush) between them and the bears. You’re correct in it’s good there weren’t cubs!
At a place we routinely hiked just outside of Anchorage several people were killed by a brown (aka, grizzly) bear when they inadvertently came upon it’s food cache. These are wild animals.
No bear is "completely" harmless.
Completely harmless? You are very naive
If you think ANY bear is completely harmless that's is ignorant. This bear is an apex predator it will kill you without a second thought.
Lmfao. A harmless brown bear eh? Well I’ll be damned. Go give it a hug then
Strange how lush and green it is for late winter.
It’s not late winter when this is filmed . Late spring or summer
@@deew7014correct. Fresh grass and salmon
Hello bears hibernate in.winter . People need to read again.
“Hey bear” like it even understands it’s own name humans gave it 🙄
They say that as a way to alert the bear they are there. It’s pretty common if you’ve ever been in bear country
Bears don't show any facial expression, but I can hear him chuckle because you guys were scared. He made it look like you weren't even there.
The bears knew the hikers were there miles away. Hikers knew a few miles back Who's got the right of way?
Amazing to see how big they are, must not take their power as a storybook tale. A Kodiak can stand up and take a man's head off with one swipe.
You don't think that grizzly could take a head in one swipe ?
FYI, Kodiak bears are grizzly bears that eat mostly salmon. They live on Kodiak island in Alaska. Hence the name.
Careless. This reminds me of Stephanie Blais, 44, female who was camping with her two children and husband at a family cabin on McKie Lake when the bear killed her.
How is this careless? They made their presence known and slowly backed away. They probably also had bear spray for if things got outta hand
I am glad brown bears are fairly chill most of the time and don’t normally want to eat me. Used to live rural near a bunch of bears
BEAR: "Gad, I'm hearing voices... Need to increase my meds...."
Bear said "yall aint even chill like that" and left
Bears are so cuddly
I’m sure they are very cuddling. 💀
Why would any sensible/sane person go hiking where bear encounters are more likely than not, to happen? Smdh
'Cause Murica
So if you live in an area with bears you’re just not allowed to be in nature? That’s ridiculous. Just bring a gun or bear spray and know how to handle bear encounters
@@bigoofinthechat5496 haha "just bring a gun" is the most Murican thing ever
@@petezah4597 Ikr. In other countries you just have to politely ask the bear to stop 😂
Bear spray is enough, you don't need a gun. It's more than possible to fend off grizzlies with bear spray-- you don't have to outright kill them
Nothing a 500 mag won’t take care of😂
Vile.
I can feel the guys heart pounding when he said its walking straight towards them in the beginning
These two are completely I’ll equipped to travel hiking anywhere ever again
Does the bear know it's a bear? It might think of itself as something else so calling it a bear out loud seems ridiculous.
Especially if it identifies as something else. Extremely disrespectful to be presumptuous
Still safer than Detroit…
lol! 🤣😂🤣
And Chicago
Both bears and people who look brown frighten you? Got it.
@@WalkingadversityThe hikers should have hid from the bears in your mom’s snatch. It’s wide, cavernous, and there’s room for all of them.
