Close Encounter: Grizzly Bear Meets Fishermen in Katmai, Alaska
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- In Katmai National Park, encounters between bears and humans are a common, yet always thrilling, experience. The bears are familiar with people fishing and they associate them with fish often approaching them.
Katmai is home to one of the world’s largest concentrations of grizzly bears, particularly around the Brooks River area. Here, during the summer months, they gather to fish for sockeye salmon, creating one of nature’s most impressive wildlife spectacles. This scene is featured in some of the National geographic videos. Encounters between bears and humans are frequent yet generally harmonious, as both species navigate this shared space with mutual respect. The bears and other wildlife in Katmai are accustomed to human presence, which allows for incredible, up-close viewing opportunities while maintaining safety protocols.
Katmai national park can only be reached by a float plane as there are no roads going in there.
Location: Katmai National Park, Alaska

Here's the continuation of this encounter in my next video..😊

That bear was like 'how's the fishing out here? I'm looking for supper...'
😅 exactly
What a nice bear
He looks kind of lean, and hopefully he doesn’t go looking for a human diet supplement.
Bear- " hmm two legged
salmon , yummy !
😂
He was looking for access across the water.
@leslieparker3914 that could be too… in the end he was hanging out there [where he was at the end of the video] for a while eating the grass 😄 then walked away
He’s like where’s the fish I’m Damn hungry 😎
😄 hopefully had enough at the end of the salmon run
Thanks for sharing this video she is a pretty bear
@user-wx7zr4mj9o Thank you for the comment! 💕😊
I don't go anywhere where I'm not still on top of the food chain.
😄
You’d be surprised by the lack of truth in your statement
Your safer in Katmai without any protection than in your house.... FACT
I think I will buy a fish at the market
😆
Wondering what year this was, the elevated bridge opened in 2019! Nice video.
@amurpher Thanks. This was from 2018. May be it opened before 2019? 😊
That makes sense the floating bridge was in use in 2018. Ty for your response. 😀
@amurpher Thanks to your question, I just read about it and it looks like they built a new elevated bridge winter of 2018-2019. I guess it’s time to make a visit again 😄
Not a grizzly bear. It’s a Coastal Brown Bear.
Great fishing but sooo many bears there.
The bears think the same too, great fishing there 😄
I was a little nervous walking there, especially on the small trail to the Brook Falls 😁
Young sub adult just out testing its world. Everyone did the right thing in this instance. Hopefully the bear never learns that people are something that they can be rewarded for food.
Those people looked terrified over a little bear which showed no aggression.
😄 yeah, that little bear seems to be just curious
Brooks falls, people have to attend Bear Camp and were merely responding with what they have been taught and were respectfully giving the bear their space.
Little? Brown bears are larger than grizzlies.
@Querencia7779 haha. Well, that particular bear in the video is a young one. So the ‘little’ reference 😄
That is Not a Grizzley bear, that is an Alaskan brown bear. Look up Brooks Falls Brown Bears. It's still a dangerous bear. This one is about 3 or 4 yrs. old, a juvenile.
Hi, thanks for the comment!
They are the same species, but the ones closer to the coast are referred to as brown bears and ones further inland are referred to as grizzly bears… mainly geographical distinction 😊
www.nps.gov/subjects/bears/brown-bears.htm
In the second paragraph it says “Brown bears, also known as grizzly bears”
They are brown bears, not grizzly bears.
thank you. Based on my research they are the same species but the inland ones are referred to as grizzly bears and the larger coastal ones are referred to as brown bears 😊 I chose to use grizzly in the title assuming that more people are probably familiar with that 😊
Thanks for pointing it out.
@@SekarsWildlifeEncounters yep, slight genetic deference. Alaska Game and Fish distinguishes the m bases on if they are within 200 miles of the coast or not. Technically these are Brown bears but this is semantics.
@jacksvegi.plotcooking.7396 Thanks for that info. I did not know that 😊👍🏽
Yes, and brown bears are larger than grizzlies!
thank you! 😊
So skinny, so starving..
This was just the beginning of the salmon run there. Hopefully he got enough in the season.
Hi, Baaaby!!!
😀
That is way closer. I'm sure the bear cam operator switched the view so no one would make fuss about it.
Looks like it’s a common occurrence as I’ve seen people fishing in the middle of the brooks river with bears fishing not too far from them
Here's a couple of pics to show how close they can be to people fishing there

@@SekarsWildlifeEncounters yeah!!! That is way closer than what they claim to be. Then they say oh it's the camera angle, blah, blah. I hate hipocresy.
@@gatina7713first of all this is someone else's camera not the live feeds lmfao second they have to be 50 feet away from the bears. They say hey bear because the bears learn the phrase to know humans are around. This was an innocent interaction and what those people paid for. Its a protected park no hunting. And again for others reading comments it's NOT A GRIZZLY Alaskan brown bear!!
@@Perpetually_Inquisitive what are you talking about? Are you talking with your mouth full 🤣🤣🤣
He was nonplussed
yeah, I’m sure he sees fishermen all the time there 😄
Great people letting him do what he wanted and not spooking him and keeping calm ☺️
@wendyhood1006 The bear was just minding his own business. Went on to eat some grass and went away... 😊
Here's my newer video of the bear eating grass and fishermen moving away from the area

@@SekarsWildlifeEncounters thank you 😊 how lucky you are to have such magnificent creatures in your life
@wendyhood1006 I do feel lucky to be able to go see them 😊
@@SekarsWildlifeEncountershopefully one day I shall too it’s on my bucket list ❤
@wendyhood1006 hope you do. it’s an amazing experience being there surrounded by bears! you can even camp there [they have an electric fence surrounding the camp], which is what I did. Feel free to let me know if you need any information about the trip.
Grizzlies only live in nothern america
@ralfkonig4734 Thanks for the comment!
Brown bears and grizzly bears are the same species, distinguished only by how close to the coast they live and hence their diet. The ones closer to the coast are referred to as brown bear and the ones further inland are referred to as grizzly bears. In Alaska, in Katmai and places closer to the coast these are called brown bears and the ones in places like Denali national park are called grizzly bears 😊

Я спать. И заряжаться
Это не гризли! Узнайте сначала, о чем пишете
Они одного и того же вида. Только те, что находятся внутри страны, называются гризли, а те, что у побережья, - бурыми медведями. Спасибо за комментарий! :)
@@SekarsWildlifeEncounters Поинтересуйтесь, в чем отличия. Не бурые, а кадьяки, если точнее. Бурые - в Сибири, и это тоже этот вид, да, но с многими отличительными особенностями.
Хорошо знать. Спасибо за информацию 😊
The fishermen waded out to eat fish. The bear waded out to eat a fisherman. Who wades out to eat the bear?
😁
У нас все очень зпшорено в стране и грубо( печалька. Мужчин не воспитывают, кинематограф ужасен. Маркиса никто не читает
Very unpredictable age. But still scary.
yes, definitely.. they are still more powerful than me at that age and have those claws 😄
