Bears are also a keystone species. Without bears discarding fish, the whole ecosystem is affected. I forgot which study but one I saw concluded that in areas with salmon streams that had a loss of bears, the local ecosystem degraded.
And those where Salmon where left, either caught by bear or left after mating, the forests grew a lot more. I think it was in between 10-20%. I saw that in a documentary
@@Tugela60 It's not just about the corpse becoming literal dirt for plants. You also have a plethora of different categories of insects/birds/fungi/worms/scavenging animals getting fat paydays and those in turn feed/support other things, etc. Nature is complicated.
I'm guessing the "instincts honed generations of natural selection" would essentially amount to the bear's food preferences in this case? Bears would naturally think the fatty parts of a fish are delicious while the bony parts are disgusting? Similar to how humans prefer some foods over others? Or is there more to it that I'm missing?
My guess would be that it's simply a numbers thing , bears that min-maxed the most had on average more offspring that ether inherited, learned (or both) that type of behaviour, which over a long period of time led to a majority that engages in this type of behavour that outcompeted (outlived and outbred) those that didn't embrace the new meta.
Yeah, that's about right. It's the same instinct that makes kids not eat the crust of their pizza. Sure it tastes fine, but it's not as good as the rest of the pizza and it's way more effort to chew. So grab another slice instead.
This video missed/glossed over a really important point. The salmon are only in that particular part of the river for a short time, and the bears are limited by the volume they can fit in their stomachs. If they wait to digest the muscle, they miss the opportunity to stuff their gut with the more calorie dense food, meaning they've eaten less calories over all.
In the wild, animals go from pleasantly thin to dead in a matter of days. For an animal that needs fat stores to make it through the winter, it makes sense to stuff its face with as much calories as it can. Maybe humans should take a page out of the bear's book and hibernate.
Basically, when an animal can get all the prey it wants, it just eats the best parts from many kills rather than the whole body of a few kills because it doesn't need to waste time on the low-value parts when it can have all the best parts it wants.
Just like we humans do. You get the filet steak from the cow. It would take some serious economocial and societal crisis for you to consider eating the cows eyes, brain or hooves.
Bears significantly positively impact the ecosystem of a river, by fertilizing a wide area around it with half eaten fish, and diversify the ecosystem by leaving food for scavengers/vultures/bacteria
I remember reading an article identifying the Nitrogen isotopes in Kamchatkan forests, and determining that it all came from the ocean, and thus was brought by salmon.
Ah, they don't know how delisiously unique every other chicken parts is. When you fry the chicken with out batter. Heart, liver, and intestine is my favorite.
I remember hearing about a study which used a kind of dye to trace where the nutrients of discarded salmon end up and they can travel for miles just through plant roots.
@@bluexroses414 I don't know about bears, but I believe wolves and ravens worldwide can have a similar partnership: In return for localizing prey for the wolves, ravens get to eat parts of the carcass that wolves can't easily access
well hyenas live in packs and the highest ranking in the pack will only eat the best part and the lowest are one who finish the bones so it not an error just different views on how they in the video there lookin at a single animals diet and what they eat your looking at the packs diet. also no animal can be wasteful everything will be eaten by microbes or not the nutrients will go into the ground
@Lee , and you don't think scavenger animals are eating human leftovers? Have you never seen or heard of bugs, birds, rodents, and more rooting in trash cans/dumpsters/etc.? If humans are said to be wasting food, then it can be equally applied to bears. In both cases, none but the most desperate of their own species are going to even attempt eating the leftovers.
I wonder if cats have thicker and tougher mouth and digestive tract to handle it. Camels have tough lips and mouths so they can eat cactus spines and all. Fish bones are more flexible, though, so just crunching them up might not work as well.
@@Br3ttM I doubt it. Salmon meat is a lot tender than for example moose meat, and bears eat moose just fine. It is just cost/reward thing during salmon season (fish literally jumps to you mouth). And yes, cats have special bumps on their tongues to peel meat of bones.
This is also why birds are notoriously messy eaters. While they focus on getting the most calorie bang for their buck, their meal leftovers will cycle nutrients back into the environment. By making a mess, such as dropping food, they give creatures in other areas access to food that might not otherwise be there (like the from the forest canopy to the forest floor, obviously). Nature doesn’t waste resources, it has creatures or natural processes to recycle everything it creates. The problem is man made waste does not necessarily behave in the same way as organic waste. A paper bag would still rot, but a plastic bag-not so much. But to alot of people they are close enough to the same thing. It’s just really easy to gloss over an awful lot of information without even realizing it in the name of convenience.
Why is there so much focus on individual carbon footprints when most emissions come from large corporations? Even if everyone did as much as they could individually to reduce their footprint, there'd still be a climate change problem as long as we allow corporations to pollute as much as they want.
Agreed. Also, we could easily approach carbon neutrality if every industrialized country would begin investing in and building new nuclear plants, specifically molten salt nuclear reactors, the kind that can use nuclear waste as fuel and have a near-zero risk of meltdowns like we've seen at Fukushima and Chernobyl. But environmental activists have made "nuclear" a bad word. Can't have clean, safe, abundant nuclear energy chipping away at those coal and natural gas profits, now can we? Ironically it's the activists who often inadvertently benefit the corporations they're supposedly so opposed to (can we say "controlled opposition"?). That said, I don't think the nature of climate change is what most people think it is. But I still strongly support a clean and healthy environment and biosphere.
Putting away your own personal, realizable change because it’s a minority of emissions isn’t helpful. You can make a change also by supporting greener companies, since they produce products to be bought. In developed countries there already are stringent laws on pollution and emissions, so if you want to make a bigger change you can support local industry, even at the higher cost they charge. But that’s your call to make.

Great job explaining this, but you don’t even mention what this is called. To anyone who wants to Google or UA-cam more info, this is called Optimal Foraging Theory. You can do little experiments yourself to really understand food handling time. We use upside down cups and Hershey kisses hidden underneath some of them. Every other second, you are allowed to look under another cup. If you find nothing, you keep looking for a cup with a kiss. When you find a kiss, you take it. The wrapper represents the time it takes between finding prey and putting it into your belly. During this “handling time” you aren’t allowed to look for more kisses under the cups.

Striving in the wrong direction can often hurt more than it helps and wastes alot of effort in the process. Never stop testing your assumptions.
@@alexanderx33 for sure, my dude. That's why I say *if you're looking to take an active role* your results can be multiplied. The knee-jerk desire, to pay $5/no & listen to a company tell you how you're saving the planet, is not as helpful.
Now that you bring up the bone problem, how do fish eat other fish without choking on the bones? Some fish do eat much of their prey instead of just the fatty bits. But unlike hands of paws, fins don't seem to offer much way to pick out the meat from the bone.
I'm not sure what bears you've seen, but the head is usually the last thing to go if they eat it. They pin the head down, peel off the skin and eat it, then usually the guts, then they work from the tail to the head if they eat all of it. The bones don't bother them at all. They don't leave the guts. At the time of year they catch salmon the salmon are swimming home to mate. Bears want the eggs and sperm sacks because by the time their skin turns red it's the only thing left with a lot of calories.
and not one mentiion of the parasites in raw fish flesh. that 's why coastal wolves on ly eat the skin and head as well: too many parasites in the flesh. how do they know? probably can see/smell them? no idea, but it' s on e record.
Plus, bears are smart enough to remember where they dumped a bunch of fish and big enough to chase off any other animals. So, if it's still hungry at the end of the day it still has access to much of that meat.

Makes sense. Like Minecraft Saturation. It is not worth filling the food bar if the saturation is low. It is like how much food you can store. Filling your food is not the gaol. It's filling it with the longest lasting food.
I read an account of a man who survived in the ocean for several weeks in the ocean on a raft. He was catching fish to survive.He wrote that he was famished and when he would catch a fish, his instinct would be to immediately consume the organs and discard the rest.

Waxed paper, man. It's biodegradable if you source the wax from the right things and it replenishes itself.
1:50 well also the way they catch it is to put it in their mouth so...
Great video. Thanks
How many bear puns do you want in this video?
Minute Earth: unBEARable
I heard that discarded salmon bits represent a pretty significant amount of fertilizer for trees near rivers.
Makes sense. Like Minecraft Saturation. It is not worth filling the food bar if the saturation is low. It is like how much food you can store. Filling your food is not the gaol. It's filling it with the longest lasting food.
OK, but the bear calculating meme...!!! 😂😂😂 🐻
The amount of bear puns is un-bear-able
MinuteEarth is like the dollar store they say MINUTE EARHT but it’s actually 3
I read an account of a man who survived in the ocean for several weeks in the ocean on a raft. He was catching fish to survive.He wrote that he was famished and when he would catch a fish, his instinct would be to immediately consume the organs and discard the rest.
This is really the best necessity
There was like 20 bear puns in that vid
1:38 the midge doesn’t really seemed concerned the spider is literally having a midge-like creature for dinner
Less competition for the midge.
the amount of puns in this video is un-bear-able
error, the pun counter has exceeded the maximum count.
What are you, a pundit?
It's interesting how nature balances itself out
MinuteEarth: Puts orca on the list of "predators of delicacy"
Me: That explains majority of shark carcases with no livers but fully intact bodies
Can we thank the minute team for making the good fish .. uhh I mean videos into our paws ... I MEAN HANDS LOL :)
The discarded fish are also an important part of fertilizing trees.
wow im so glad at the end it isnt a wast!
I have seen this in Washington state.They eat the fat eggs,throw the rest away.This is how the nitrogen from the sea.It is not as bad as it seems.
