This sounds like the chillest bear I've ever heard of
bears are like that usually
he seems well fed and pretty tame
he will kill and eat you if you meet him. not like bears in kid movies tho
yannikakapralli Black bear don’t typically attack people, except in very rare, and/or very particular circumstances. I’m fairly certain that the overwhelming majority of attacks, charges, and/or other aggressive/threatening behavior occur when you get between a mother and her cubs (though Grizzlies are far more aggressive protectors of cubs), and if you interrupt them when feeding/they feel threatened when eating. I’m pretty sure they’re typically unlikely to attack to kill, *unless they’re actually hungry, which is why you should always fight back against a black bear if they attack.* As we’d say for bears, “If it’s black, fight back; if it’s brown, get on the ground”, the later being bc you should play dead to survive if a brown bear attacks.
I’ve been around black bear in the wild multiple times, and they almost all ran away, except one, which just looked at me calmly for a while, and eventually walked away into the woods, as I abruptly exited the woods.. I may not be afraid of them, but I don’t want to take chances, in case I’m that rare person who gets charged..
It’s not a polar bear 🐻you know
I truly hope Canada protects this area. For those of you who have not been to this part of BC, it's hard to describe how beautiful and diverse the region is. The passages are very narrow and the thought of a tanker navigating through them is terrifying. So much can be lost and never recovered. Every turn through a passage brings possibilities of seeing a bear, a wolf or another beautiful animal. The water is crystal clear and the sealife colorful. Some areas look like Dr. Seuss created it. It seemed almost unreal.
I was so lucky to spend an entire day with a Spirit Bear there, it was magical and serene. Yes, we use and need oil, but maybe there is another solution other than jeopardizing the Great Bear Rainforest and the rest of British Columbia.
I believe they have chosen to protect 85% of the forest
watch the movie Grizzly 1979.
The reason that they consider these kind of crazy ideas is because people refuse to negotiate and give ground to petrol companies. The real solution would be a pipeline going through, which was going to happen, until the BC government killed the project. And if youre one of the people who shuts their eyes to these kind of reasonable solutions, then I suggest you throw out all plastic things you own, stop using all forms of transportation (except walking) and stop using any other oil based product in your daily life.
@@MrBadApple999 Wow dude you are ignorant. Ever herd about pipeline leaks? DO you think these pipelines magically appear without destroying areas around it as they are being built? find a real job.
@@MrBadApple999 or just use cheap clean energy like solar and nuclear.
I read a book called spirit bear, that talked about this boy who beats up and bullies another boy, and instead of being sent to jail, he is sent to an island for rehabilitation, and he eventually ends up seeing this bear.
Button- Glutton were reading this in class to
Touching Spirit Bear. It was a good book
Touching Spirit Bear. Read the book, you'll love it.
my little bro is reading it in his class, it's a pretty good book
Its one of my favorite books
Jacob Johnston why so special if its just a book about a bear? many like it
I read it that’s y I’m watching this lol
Yup. It's a really great and insightful book.
shiny pokemon........cool..........
This was amazing. Gives me great inspiration to pursue my dream career of becoming a photographer and advocate.
*I am so disgusted at how companies never care about what they are doing to the environment. No respect at all.
this is why i truly love nature/landscape photography and cinematography, kudos to Mr. Nicklen and all of the National Geographic organization!! keep up the great work!!
must be cool to be a bear...give no fucks, just eat, sleep and repeat...that soft green moss looks so comfortable to lay on...the only thing id have to worry about is humans though
Bonifilio Soto precisly
And other bears, finding food, winter, sickness, etc.
On the BC coast, there are wolf packs that hunt and eat bears.
Well technically you can do it too,,just as a human you will need to gain survivalist knowledge to survive,,,many humans do it ,,but the fact is it's super hard ,,as a loser in human society you want the simple bear life,,,but every adult bear is a winner just for getting to adulthood as about 40% die before that,,also most bears go through meager time were they are starving ,,and wander for miles and miles in search of a morsel and sometime starve to death,you wanna be a bear with a constant salmon run in a river next to you,,guess what a bear wants that too
You spend most of your life gathering food to prepare for the winter and then it starts all over again next year. Whether it's for mates or territory you'll have physical battles with other bears which may seriously injure or kill you. If you fail in being the strongest you may not get enough food to survive the winter. It's not a dance on roses, they actually have to fight to survive. Life as a wild animal is most often quite brutal. I'd rather be human to be honest.
In places such as Alaska where salmon are plenty, the bears don't have to fight over food and as a result they do better there and the place is more populated. It's also due to the isolation. Their biggest threat are us humans. We're pretty much the biggest threat to any animal out there.
I call this one ewok haha
Alex Brenchley u have 111 comments and 0 comments after 5 years so here ya go
Lol
they are magnificent.
Dosen't that tree in the background kindof look like a bear 3:16
Karl-Peder Sundström bruhhhhhh
Karl-Peder Sundström like the face of a bear with its mouth open 🐻
Tight find my g
I’m so glad someone else noticed !
I'm not there in the video yet! So glad I read your comment in time!
I have stayed with the Heiltsuk in Bella Bella. Never saw a spirit bear during my time, but spending time w/ these First Nations people made me understand the importance of preserving everything that’s up there in Canada. The spirit bear actually live in a temperate rain forest so it’s all the more important to manage that land. No more clear cutting. No more oil spills. Protect the Inner Passage.
3:15 looks like a bear head in the backround.... Kind-of creep.....
As a Canadian and born Albertan, thank you for bringing the attention to some of our fight against destroying our natural habitat
Thank you so much for this! I have long argued with my husband that letting tankers carry these products through our waters is more dangerous than anyone could conceive and a spill will cause damage on a scale so great it could not be measured. It will not stop at the bears or the fish but continue down the umbical line of life.
Great story, great cause, great photos and great job from paul nicklen and the nat geo team.
When I was young I did a project on spirit bear, I LOVE them so much
Paul Nicklen is my FAVORITE photographer ever! it is my freak to one day, be able to go on one of his adventures with him!
What a beautiful bear
i love how dedicated these people are makes you wanting to book a trip there straight away
Paul Nicklen deserves Viewers' sympathy prize
His presentation made my day
"Only after the last tree is cut down, the last of the water poisoned, the last animal destroyed, only then will you realize you cannot eat money" Cree Indian Prophecy
i love its colour. it's like a creamy, ginger or gold colour >
What an gorgeous animal he is we got to protect nature if that die we die simple as that we need to learn not to be so gd greedy all the time
Twenty years ago I played (bar band) in Terrace and Kitimat, B.C.
I remember hearing about the Kermodie bears.
It's great to get to see one.
Thanks so much!
pretty epic man my favorite part was when he was inadvertently blocking the bears exit
These is not just great photography but reminding people about the importance of these natural habitats and their vital ecosystems that cannot afford to be damaged. These are glacier waters and ancient forests. Spirit Bear could at a glance be mistaken for a polar bear on holiday, lol.

Beautiful bear and place. Everyone wants their oil but no one wants the consequences.
What a fitting name for this wise creature. Makes me proud to be Canadian
wow, what a beautiful place.
Incredible! Thanks for sharing
this is the best video series i've seen
Wonderful story. Would never have known you could get that close to one of these bears.
I read a book on this bear. It's amazing to see the real thing.
They wouldn't be using the area to drill for oil, it would be for transporting bitumen from the Alberta oilsands; an act which never fails to create spillage.
Amazing, thanks for the effort Paul 👍🏻
The bear just like excuse me cameraman you block my way
This is a dream come true, what an experience that must have been
It look like beautiful painting .
In addition to having the kahonas of Goliath, Paul Nicklen is both a remarkable photographer and a master story teller.
Wow that was amazing. What a beautiful story with some breathtaking pictures. so cool
A bit harsh, don't you think? While the guy you responded to sounded like a serious geek about wanting to "save" the bears, there is good reason to preserve their habitat; and not just for the bears alone. What we are doing to our environment isn't "natural" by the way, so trying to argue from the viewpoint of natural selection isn't really valid. There are good reasons to try to keep bears around in terms of the natural food chain and just maintaining some wildness in the world.
i read touching spirit bear and now im obsessed i now love spirit bears
Absolutely beautiful
4:30 My God, dat face! XD Bears are a lot like dogs in this regard. They just have naturally funny faces.
Always blows my mind that someone would dislike such a Great video.
Is there any place to buy high quality prints of the shot from 4:04?
That area is so beautiful how could anyone think of putting in oil pipeline through one of the most gorgeous places on Earth? It something we’re to happen and there was an oil spill it would be gone!
I already seen the video before at my school and my favorite part of the video he steer at the bear LOL
Epic Bear!

This guy was fun to listen too and amazing story

Thank you Paul.
Great story and awareness
That bear sounded so chill
Lovely work done by Paul Nicklen
What an amazing journey!! Just wish the habitat won't be damaged and let the astonishing animal lives on!!
So, he is like a mini Polar Bear!
Just saw these posted on Paul’s Instagram save the spirit bears 🐻

Wow, wow, blocking Spirit Bear's passage in the 1-foot encounter, bear excused you and you stayed in life? I salute your courage and the fight for the environment!! 👍👍
good job!
incredible!
How can I help? I live in Texas where many areas are already spoiled from oil work. I would love to save this area, this animal and his heritage. Wonderful work, brilliant photography. I always applaud the bravery with which people like you go after your ambitions. God bless you and yours and keep this wonderful work coming.
é splendido GRAZIE a tutte le persone che sfidano tanti e grossi pericoli,per farci conoscere il nostro pianeta.Vorrei che tutti lo capissero. Katja
