Black bears and coyotes are found in almost all continental US states. There are wolves as well, but wherever wolves live, black bears also live, and so wolves are not the biggest predator anywhere. Grizzly bears are a type (subspecies) of Brown Bear. The grizzly bear is native to the southern 48, but has been extirpated in most areas, so that they are now only found in limited areas of the northern Rocky Mountain region. Brown bears are also found in Alaska (Kodiak bears) and are a different subspecies to the grizzly, but they are not the largest due to polar bears also inhabiting Alaska. So even though the US also has wolves, Kodiak bears, and jaguars, due to other larger predators living with them they were absent from this video.
I can confirm we have brown bears in North Carolina and Georgia. I've actually had one in my backyard. I didn't see it though. My uncle told me about it when I got home. I'm almost certain they're found in Tennessee too. Technically alligators are larger though. If you go by weight.
We have two jaguars in southern az right now,the most protected animals in america seeing as they were extinction in america. They came up through mexico and making themselves at home and we are happy to see them
They avoided listing them on the endangered species list because the first couple of times (in recent times) a jaguar was spotted in Arizona they shot them. So it wasn't endangered anymore. But this only changed recently. Isn't one named El Jefe?
Florida has crocs. 1.25 million alligators, black bears and panthers and the worse predator, the Florida man. Lol. Love your videos! Love from Florida ❤
Glad you mentioned New York isn't just a city. As a Northern New Yorker, it's frustrating when ppl think that, when in reality the MAJORITY of the state is forests, lakes, rivers, farmlands, and of course mountains. The Adirondack Mountains are absolutely beautiful. And the wildlife is very diverse as well, obviously black bears, but also mountain lions and several sightings of them in the north are melanistic(all black), so they basically look like panthers. We also have wolves, coyotes, foxes, bobcats and lynx, not to mention eagles, hawks, falcons... and that's just the main predators. Don't forget our entire northern border is one of the Great Lakes (Lake Ontario) and also the St. Lawrence River Seaway which are both just stunning. So, if(when) you do finally get to visit the US and you want to see the City, don't forget there is entirely different world of nature and beauty the further north you drive, and it's definitely worth checking out!😉
Yeah, it's interesting that folks overseas do not know the majority of the state is inland and mountainous. It's such a huge state with diverse ecosystems. You have pretty much everything in California.

Everyone forgets there are thousands of square miles of California east of the beaches. The eastern boundary is almost all mountains with a valley in-between.
Coyotes and black bears can be found almost everywhere. Alligators live in swampy areas all over the south. Cougars (mountain Lions) mostly in the Western states. Grizzlies are northern bears. Polar bears are far northern bears. The American crocodile I think is found only in southern Florida. Florida has about 1.3 million American Alligators, second to Louisiana. Louisiana has many, many swampy habitats that alligators prefer.
I live in rural Michigan and a Black Bear visits me once every Spring and once every Autumn. When he wakes up from his hibernation he's looking for a quick meal, so I keep something out there for him when he arrives. When Autumn arrives he's looking for one last good meal before he hibernates, I give him that too, he doesn't visit any other time of year except for those two days and he's been doing this for four years now, I look forward to his visits because he sits right outside my bedroom window and fuels up for whatever season it is! I would never go outside and confront him so I just keep the food stocked really well until his arrival and then I go back to regular portions for everyone that eats here, which includes Raccoons, Opossums, Deer, and Skunks at night, if anything else comes up and wants a share well, that's up to whoever is out there at the time, they are pretty good about sharing. During the day I feed Squirrels, all kinds of Birds including some beautiful Woodpeckers, I have seven different kinds of Woodpeckers on my little piece of property! Songbirds, and yes, there are even Raptors that try to take advantage of all of these birds gathering together but I also have three crows that hang out here and they mob the raptors and keep them away quite efficiently! There have been Red-Tailed Hawks, Bald Eagles and Peregrine Falcons try for the little birds, they have succeeded three times in all of the years I've been feeding the animals.

Guys the thing is, a lot of the states, like Washington. Has Black Bears, Wolves, Coyotes, Cougars, or Mountain Lions, Not to mention Moose Elk Deer . A lot of the Pacific Northwest, has all of these, and more.
I remember a presentation at our school given by a wildlife expert. He said one way to tell the difference between an alligator and a croc was stick your leg in the water. If it shies away it's an alligator. If it bites your leg off it's a croc.😂
I live in Alaska and have lived on the north slope for years. Polar bear are known to actively stalk and drag people out of buildings to eat you. Our Polar bears have been mating with grizzlies for many years and the hybrid species is terrifies me. It does not hibernate like polar bears and behaves like a polar bear with the range of a Grizzly and the temperament to match. They are huge and called Grolar bears or pizzly bears. It depends on what the mom was. Google them. Plus we have black bears that are larger than the bears in other states. Edit: everything up here is massive including moose, eagles, wolves, foxes and almost every other creature here.
Im in Greenwich Connecticut and every spring to mid summer and then in the late fall to mid winter in my town Black bears get seen quite a bit. A few weeks ago there was one about 250lbs. in one of my clients neighbors yards, and one of my clients who have honeybees had to put an electric fence around them because the bears kept knocking them over to get the honey. Usually they will just walk right past you and not even give you a second glance, unless you have food, then they might walk right up to you, but they are very friendly.
We really don't worry about gators too much here in Georgia. I have been swimming in rivers and ponds my whole life, never once had a gator act aggresively towards me. That being said, you have to use common sense. If you see a line of bubbles in the water, you stay away.
Alligators are not found north of the fall line. They are all in the southern half of the state. You are right about them not being very aggressive. They'll normally leave you alone on land or if in a boat, but I would not get into the water with them, nor would I get too close, either.
Here’s something on California Bears, on the state flag is the Grizzly Bear which were so dangerous they were hunted to extinction in California on purpose
NY State is huge. From NYC to the Canadian border is at least 5 hours by car. It can be about 8 hours or more depending on the drive starting point and traffic. It's about 500 miles or 759 KM from NYC. I used to do this drive several times a year during my years at college--which was a few miles south of the US-Canada border. Doing this drive in Winter was an adventure due to the extremely blow zero temperatures and mega snowstorms with many feet of snow.
The American crocodile is a salt water creature too. They swim between Florida and Cuba. So, they are in the Florida straight (the ocean) between the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico
Grizzlies are usually more northwestern. If there's a lot of forest you'll find a lot of blackbear. I live in Eastern Kansas, we have timber wolves. There were so many deer in our area they released Timberwolves. Never had problems with them ever.
There is a Lake here in North Central Florida that no one uses a boat or swims in .The lake is not really big but there are over thirteen thousand alligators. When the state grabs one from where they don't belong they drop them in this lake.
Grizzly is a subspecies name for that type of Brown Bear. There are several variants of Brown Bear and all of them are, on average, larger than black bears. Black bears can be other colors than just black including different shades of brown and cinnamon which is a medium/light brown with a red tinge. These are still black bear despite the color variation.
We encroach on the open land so they are coming into towns more and more. I live in New Jersey and one of the doctor's I worked with showed us pictures of her home with the 4 bears in her driveway. She lives in north Jersey near the mountains. Needless to say she called school and said her children woukd be late....We do also have Brown bears in NJ and a coyote summers in the woods down the street from me. I guess he likes the Jersey shore too...
In Washington State it is the Grizzly!🔥 they are highly endangered but we still have a few in the North Cascades and Selkirk mountains. We are often told they are not there but absolutely they are
The bears are weighed by tranquilizing them, here (Tennessee) they are put in a sling and weighed on a hanging scale, but I think some areas have platform style scales.
As a new Yorker, yes, you just think of the city, but once you get past the city, there is a lot of mountain areas. Forest areas like the Appalachian mountains. The Adirondack mountains for especially in northern New york. We've even had a couple of cougars were mountain lions being found in new york.
Da fam, I've been privileged to see a black bear and grizzly during my '84 drive from NW of Chicago up to Alaska, and back in about '05, I drove up to Manitoba, Canada, where I took a 24 hour train ride to Hudson Bay, where I went on a polar bear tour--all great experiences. Mom, polar bears are possible in Alaska, since we have coastline on the Arctic Ocean, as well as the Atlantic and Pacific. In addition to CA having beaches and sand, they also have mountains where it's possible to snow ski. In fact, in the pioneer days of the 1800s, many in a group heading west froze to death in those mtns.--the Donner Party, and back in 1960, a town on Lake Tahoe hosted the Winter Olympics. This part of the state is also home to Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon N,P, Florida is the only place in the world where both alligators (fresh water) and crocodiles (salt water) are found. "Very little bears" in Kansas? Does that mean numbers or size?😅😉 You've probably already been told this in the past, but mtn. lions have 3 regional aliases--panther, catamount and puma. Re. New York, you've no doubt heard or maybe seen the movie "Miracle on Ice". This took place at the Olympics held in Lake Placid--a tiny town in Upstate NY's Adirondack Mtns. back in 1980. They extend almost to the Canadian border almost 400 mi./645km. north. Being the smallest state, RI probably doesn't have room for more than 10 bears. Brown bears aren't necessarily grizzly bears, but all grizzlies are brown bears, as well as Kodiak bears.
Brown bears are Grizzly bears. And their range is quite reduced from what it was originally because they are so much more dangerous. Colorado, for example, used to have them but they were eradicated.
Technically speaking, the largest predator in Texas is a Jaguar name El Jefe. Jaguars used to roam across southern Texas, but nearly all of them were killed. El Jefe is the only male jaguar that has been spotted in Texas since 2015. In 2024 he would be nearing the end of his life as Jaguars only live 13 years and El Jefe was estimated to be 3 years of age when first spotted.
Wyoming. U might see the bears mostly in the mountains wood area. But mountain loins sometime come close to human areas. Last one I heard about was outside a school area.
I just looked up what the differences between brown bears and grizzly bears, and they was kind of interesting. I found out that a grizzly bear can be identified from other brown bears because of their hump, I’m their shoulders and they’re concave head
7:18 Louisiana deep fried alligator is very good. If you come to Texas, visit Louisiana as well. I feel like you all would love their cajon food, but beware of the spicyness 🌶️ of it.
North Carolina has 20,000 black bears and they can be found all over the state. Alligators are only found on the east coast of the state. I've had bears in my yard and seen them on hiking trails. I don't worry about them.
My cousin and her family lives in NC ,one day, their daughter said mom, there is an alligator walking around on the side yard, Hayley went ouside with her video camera and filmed the alligator and posted the video on her Facebook page and they were not told there is a river across the road that has alligators.
We live in northwest montana on the flathead indian reservation. We have pretty much everything except alligators. Montana also has the highest concentration of grizzlies in the lower 48. We have mountain lions, black bear, bobcats, coyote, wolverines, and badgers if I'm not mistaken. The only one o actually worry about is a mountain lion, they're stealthy, quick attack predators. A male lion can get up to 160 pounds, not your average run of the mill house cat. The big thing here is, if you stop seeing deer, chances are a predator of some sort is near. A few years ago, a sow grizzly killed our neighbors llama that got loose, and what made her dangerous was she had 3 cubs. But you just be cautious and most times they tend to leave people alone, and carry really good bear spray, but don't spray directly in a bears face, spray it on the ground in front of it, and let the spray drift up, it will detour them if done right. If you spray it directly in the face, it'll just get mad. Some will carry a large caliber hand gun with stopping power, but, I own a good large caliber hand gun myself. But I've never carried it with me, and no issues yet. Grizzly attacks most times will be fatal, but caution is your best defense in my opinion.
I’m from South Georgia and I can assure you that the high number of gators they said are there is absolutely true! On any day I could take you to any wild body of water and I guarantee you’ll see at LEAST one gator! And, yes, some people DO go into the water! Not me but some do. But I now live in the mountains of Virginia and I’ve had numerous black bears on my property and I had one on my porch one night that was 400 lbs
What they didn’t mention the largest predator in recent times used to be the grizzly bear, they were in most of the states. But people mostly wiped them out in most states, due to how dangerous they can be
Hundreds of years ago, moose and bison ran around quite a bit of throughout the land. Even here in the East Coast, until we nearly drove the bison to complete extinction. Moose just moved northward
West Virginia is known for black bears. So much so that, they have a minor league baseball team called the West Virginia Black Bears in the MLB Draft League.
Grizzlies are brown bears, and they only exist in a few states in the upper mountain west (there is a large, managed habitat in a large radius around Yellowstone NP). There also are brown bears in Alaska, where they are often known as Kodiak bears. Black bears are a different species, and they are endemic in most places in the U.S. Bears are omnivores but seldom attack people, unless they perceive a threat from the person(s) to themselves or their cubs. In rare cases, Grizzlies have been known to prey on humans as an opportunistic predator, but all bears tend to avoid people unless they are habituated. When bears get used to people, it is always bad news -- most often for the bear.
new york state finally admitted to having populations of mountain lions and wolves. having seen them myself along with 4 other friends for years in the adirondacks it was good they finally admitted it
I've lived and worked in Alaska for several years. Worked above the Arctic Circle on the Chukchi Sea coast. Polar Bears will actively hunt a human and are very smart. We lived down in the Anchorage area and had Coastal Brown Bears...again dangerous but not apt to actively attack humans but will. Now the title of this is largest "predator". Now not a predator but if I had a choice between a PO'ed Bull Moose or a Brown Bear, I think I'd choose to just stay home.
I live in Arkansas. Not only do we have black bears and gators but a few mountain lions. Also, coyotes, elk, white tail deer, rattlesnakes and scads of wild hogs.
They mentioned Coyotes and saying the largest was about 40 lbs (about 18 kg). However, Bob Cats (a medium sized wild cat) can run up to 44 lbs (almost 20 kg). And they are in every state except 3. Having said that, I live in Nevada and most of the Coyotes where I live would push somewhere between 70 (30 kg) and 100 lbs (45 kg). There used to be a couple that walked past the house regularly (just about sunrise every morning) that were easily a 100 lbs - seems like a lot of chickens were missing out this way - lmao. Oh sure, I've seen some that are smaller coyotes, but only the ones that aren't eating too well or were younger maybe. The only things bigger would have been the mountain lions and the Black Bears - luckily they don't walk down the middle of the road like the coyotes did.
I spent 14 years of my life in Georgia. For 4 of those years I was a river guide. Part of my job was to clear the rivers of fallen trees so our canoes could pass through. I can personally assure you there is no shortage of alligators. However when you have a chainsaw the gators leave you alone so it's all cool.
Considering the numbers of the animals in each state that was quoted in the video. The size of the state has to be taken into account. Also, there are coyotes in just about every state in America. And in some states such as California, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Texas, as well as a host of other states, mountain lions A.K.A. Cougars can be found. It was a very interesting video, but it didn’t tell the whole story. America has a wide variety of wild animals that can turn your happy day into one that you wished you hadn’t gotten out of bed that day. One of the most important things to remember about wild animals, don’t feed them. When people feed them they look to the rest of us as a food source. Not a good situation to be in. And some of them eat a lot. Always enjoy you videos. 🤠👍🇨🇱
I remember that line on a globe looking to see where Maryland temp might line up, I hit just below the island of Hokkaido. Looking at it for EUpeans has Maryland/northern Cali around Greece/southern Italy/Turkey. Texas/Florida is Egypt. Paris would be in Canada. South of that would be Montana/North Dakota. Maryland IMO has decent weather and still the South. In Texas ~100 degrees, I need the AC. According to people talking humidity, gator country feels way hotter, enough you'd rather swim with a dinosaur. The dry heat you can feel the sun sitting on your hair. I dunno if I could take the humidity.
Native to Florida is the American Croc. In my county in Florida, they have caught a 15' and 2 12' Alligator. Florida has 1.3 million Alligators. Our top 4 predators are the Alligators, American Crocodile, Black Bears and the Florida Panther (Cougar). Many states have several large predators.
Check out the Kodiak Bear a sub-species of the Grisly bear. They live on Kodiak Island in Alaska. The Polar Bear only lives in North part of Alaska. They also have Grisly and black bears.
I’m from Houma Louisiana and have had to stop in the middle of the road because of alligator crossing the street. I will say that they much rather run away than deal with humans. I’ve swam in alligator waters plenty of times and never had any problems with our swamp puppies.

Brown bears are pretty much a grizzly bear version. Grizzlies can come in various other colours such as silver tip and black or dark chocolate brown and a tan colour as well. It really doesnt matter ehat colour of grizzly you see...you best hope it doesnt see you as they will often not fear you and will charge or attack or at the very least threaten you with a show of force to scare you away...do not turn and run rrom them just back away slowly and make yourself look bigger than you are like holding a ski pole in both hands over your head as you back away. Also works on Moose that try to attack you.😅

Crocs and Gators are very different. Gators, in general, aren't the a-holes Crocs are. They aren't "hunting" people like Crocs will
I remember a presentation at our school given by a wildlife expert. He said one way to tell the difference between an alligator and a croc was stick your leg in the water. If it shies away it's an alligator. If it bites your leg off it's a croc.😂
I live in Alaska and have lived on the north slope for years. Polar bear are known to actively stalk and drag people out of buildings to eat you. Our Polar bears have been mating with grizzlies for many years and the hybrid species is terrifies me. It does not hibernate like polar bears and behaves like a polar bear with the range of a Grizzly and the temperament to match. They are huge and called Grolar bears or pizzly bears. It depends on what the mom was. Google them. Plus we have black bears that are larger than the bears in other states.
Edit: everything up here is massive including moose, eagles, wolves, foxes and almost every other creature here.
Cold climate animals are are almost always larger than warmer climate specimens of the same species, helps conserve body heat.
Mosquitos are also larger in Alaska compared to other states.
Im in Greenwich Connecticut and every spring to mid summer and then in the late fall to mid winter in my town Black bears get seen quite a bit. A few weeks ago there was one about 250lbs. in one of my clients neighbors yards, and one of my clients who have honeybees had to put an electric fence around them because the bears kept knocking them over to get the honey.
Usually they will just walk right past you and not even give you a second glance, unless you have food, then they might walk right up to you, but they are very friendly.
We really don't worry about gators too much here in Georgia. I have been swimming in rivers and ponds my whole life, never once had a gator act aggresively towards me. That being said, you have to use common sense. If you see a line of bubbles in the water, you stay away.
Alligators are not found north of the fall line. They are all in the southern half of the state. You are right about them not being very aggressive. They'll normally leave you alone on land or if in a boat, but I would not get into the water with them, nor would I get too close, either.
Here’s something on California Bears, on the state flag is the Grizzly Bear which were so dangerous they were hunted to extinction in California on purpose
Over the last 10 years the black bears have increased in Ohio. 100 would be a very low estimate. I'm glad to see them making a come back.
There was a black bear found in downtown Salt Lake City, by the capitol building just 2 days ago.
NY State is huge. From NYC to the Canadian border is at least 5 hours by car. It can be about 8 hours or more depending on the drive starting point and traffic. It's about 500 miles or 759 KM from NYC. I used to do this drive several times a year during my years at college--which was a few miles south of the US-Canada border. Doing this drive in Winter was an adventure due to the extremely blow zero temperatures and mega snowstorms with many feet of snow.
The American crocodile is a salt water creature too. They swim between Florida and Cuba. So, they are in the Florida straight (the ocean) between the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico
Grizzlies are usually more northwestern. If there's a lot of forest you'll find a lot of blackbear. I live in Eastern Kansas, we have timber wolves. There were so many deer in our area they released Timberwolves. Never had problems with them ever.
The title of this video should’ve been “Black Bear”🤣🤣🤣
The United States of Black Bear 🤣
There is a Lake here in North Central Florida that no one uses a boat or swims in .The lake is not really big but there are over thirteen thousand alligators. When the state grabs one from where they don't belong they drop them in this lake.
Yikes! You would think any food (fish, etc.) in that lake would be long gone with that many alligators.
Grizzly is a subspecies name for that type of Brown Bear. There are several variants of Brown Bear and all of them are, on average, larger than black bears. Black bears can be other colors than just black including different shades of brown and cinnamon which is a medium/light brown with a red tinge. These are still black bear despite the color variation.
We encroach on the open land so they are coming into towns more and more. I live in New Jersey and one of the doctor's I worked with showed us pictures of her home with the 4 bears in her driveway. She lives in north Jersey near the mountains. Needless to say she called school and said her children woukd be late....We do also have Brown bears in NJ and a coyote summers in the woods down the street from me. I guess he likes the Jersey shore too...
New York state is huge. Pennsylvania is also a huge state.
Huge for the East Coast. But yeah, much bigger than people from other countries realize.
I love your videos 😊 happy to support
There are salt water crocs in the southwest part of florida
Alim in the upper left( nw) of alabama. 20-30 min to Tennessee and to Mississippi. We have coyotes, snakes, opposums and armadillos .😂
I would love to see a mushroom hunting video, or maybe some videos showcasing places you guys like to go in Slovakia.
I was born and raised in Minnesota and I've seen many many black bears. No big deal if you leave them alone.
In Washington State it is the Grizzly!🔥 they are highly endangered but we still have a few in the North Cascades and Selkirk mountains. We are often told they are not there but absolutely they are
The bears are weighed by tranquilizing them, here (Tennessee) they are put in a sling and weighed on a hanging scale, but I think some areas have platform style scales.
They never actually found a nile crocodile in Florida. I worked in the everglades at flamingo marina.
As a new Yorker, yes, you just think of the city, but once you get past the city, there is a lot of mountain areas. Forest areas like the Appalachian mountains. The Adirondack mountains for especially in northern New york. We've even had a couple of cougars were mountain lions being found in new york.
Da fam, I've been privileged to see a black bear and grizzly during my '84 drive from NW of Chicago up to Alaska, and back in about '05, I drove up to Manitoba, Canada, where I took a 24 hour train ride to Hudson Bay, where I went on a polar bear tour--all great experiences. Mom, polar bears are possible in Alaska, since we have coastline on the Arctic Ocean, as well as the Atlantic and Pacific.
In addition to CA having beaches and sand, they also have mountains where it's possible to snow ski. In fact, in the pioneer days of the 1800s, many in a group heading west froze to death in those mtns.--the Donner Party, and back in 1960, a town on Lake Tahoe hosted the Winter Olympics. This part of the state is also home to Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon N,P,
Florida is the only place in the world where both alligators (fresh water) and crocodiles (salt water) are found.
"Very little bears" in Kansas? Does that mean numbers or size?😅😉
You've probably already been told this in the past, but mtn. lions have 3 regional aliases--panther, catamount and puma.
Re. New York, you've no doubt heard or maybe seen the movie "Miracle on Ice". This took place at the Olympics held in Lake Placid--a tiny town in Upstate NY's Adirondack Mtns. back in 1980. They extend almost to the Canadian border almost 400 mi./645km. north.
Being the smallest state, RI probably doesn't have room for more than 10 bears.
Brown bears aren't necessarily grizzly bears, but all grizzlies are brown bears, as well as Kodiak bears.
A grizzly bear is a subspecies of brown bear. There are brown bears in the US, but the vast majority of our brown bear population is in Alaska.
This video could be a drinking game. Black bear or not? Lol
Brown bears are Grizzly bears. And their range is quite reduced from what it was originally because they are so much more dangerous. Colorado, for example, used to have them but they were eradicated.
I live in North Carolina and I've never seen a gator here but I did see you guessed it a Black Bear
Technically speaking, the largest predator in Texas is a Jaguar name El Jefe. Jaguars used to roam across southern Texas, but nearly all of them were killed. El Jefe is the only male jaguar that has been spotted in Texas since 2015. In 2024 he would be nearing the end of his life as Jaguars only live 13 years and El Jefe was estimated to be 3 years of age when first spotted.
Wyoming. U might see the bears mostly in the mountains wood area. But mountain loins sometime come close to human areas. Last one I heard about was outside a school area.
I just looked up what the differences between brown bears and grizzly bears, and they was kind of interesting. I found out that a grizzly bear can be identified from other brown bears because of their hump, I’m their shoulders and they’re concave head
7:18 Louisiana deep fried alligator is very good. If you come to Texas, visit Louisiana as well. I feel like you all would love their cajon food, but beware of the spicyness 🌶️ of it.
I must remind mom, the state flag of California has a bear on it.😅😅
North Carolina has 20,000 black bears and they can be found all over the state. Alligators are only found on the east coast of the state.
I've had bears in my yard and seen them on hiking trails. I don't worry about them.
My cousin and her family lives in NC ,one day, their daughter said mom, there is an alligator walking around on the side yard, Hayley went ouside with her video camera and filmed the alligator and posted the video on her Facebook page and they were not told there is a river across the road that has alligators.
We have Mountain Lions/Cougars here in Kansas... not sure why they mentioned Coyotes as #2.
A Grizzley Bear is a type of Brown Bear, they're the same.
"How many black bears in each states" that should be the title
So Illinois and Indiana does also have black bears and cougars and bobcats. The DNR says they only "travel through" might be ao.
There are probably well over a million gators here in Fla.
The North American Brown Bear is the GRIZZLY BEAR ! 🍀
We live in northwest montana on the flathead indian reservation. We have pretty much everything except alligators. Montana also has the highest concentration of grizzlies in the lower 48. We have mountain lions, black bear, bobcats, coyote, wolverines, and badgers if I'm not mistaken. The only one o actually worry about is a mountain lion, they're stealthy, quick attack predators. A male lion can get up to 160 pounds, not your average run of the mill house cat. The big thing here is, if you stop seeing deer, chances are a predator of some sort is near. A few years ago, a sow grizzly killed our neighbors llama that got loose, and what made her dangerous was she had 3 cubs. But you just be cautious and most times they tend to leave people alone, and carry really good bear spray, but don't spray directly in a bears face, spray it on the ground in front of it, and let the spray drift up, it will detour them if done right. If you spray it directly in the face, it'll just get mad. Some will carry a large caliber hand gun with stopping power, but, I own a good large caliber hand gun myself. But I've never carried it with me, and no issues yet. Grizzly attacks most times will be fatal, but caution is your best defense in my opinion.
There is a crocodile species native to Florida, and it does travel in saltwater
A brown bear is considered a Chrisley to . And I was about 60 feet away from a black bear cup.
I'm from North Carolina and I'm surprised the black bear didn't win here. Never seen an alligator at all😂
I’m from South Georgia and I can assure you that the high number of gators they said are there is absolutely true! On any day I could take you to any wild body of water and I guarantee you’ll see at LEAST one gator!
And, yes, some people DO go into the water! Not me but some do.
But I now live in the mountains of Virginia and I’ve had numerous black bears on my property and I had one on my porch one night that was 400 lbs
I'm in the northern half of Georgia. Not once will you ever see an alligator around here. They don't live in this part of the state.
What they didn’t mention the largest predator in recent times used to be the grizzly bear, they were in most of the states. But people mostly wiped them out in most states, due to how dangerous they can be
Hundreds of years ago, moose and bison ran around quite a bit of throughout the land. Even here in the East Coast, until we nearly drove the bison to complete extinction. Moose just moved northward
West Virginia is known for black bears. So much so that, they have a minor league baseball team called the West Virginia Black Bears in the MLB Draft League.
You can add Grizzlies too that list of bears that see people as food.
black bears are pretty chill tbh Im never really worried about them when Im out in their country
My sister lives in bossier city Louisiana and just had to call about alligator in her back yard and the afb there shut down runaway for gater
Grizzlies are brown bears, and they only exist in a few states in the upper mountain west (there is a large, managed habitat in a large radius around Yellowstone NP). There also are brown bears in Alaska, where they are often known as Kodiak bears. Black bears are a different species, and they are endemic in most places in the U.S. Bears are omnivores but seldom attack people, unless they perceive a threat from the person(s) to themselves or their cubs. In rare cases, Grizzlies have been known to prey on humans as an opportunistic predator, but all bears tend to avoid people unless they are habituated. When bears get used to people, it is always bad news -- most often for the bear.
new york state finally admitted to having populations of mountain lions and wolves. having seen them myself along with 4 other friends for years in the adirondacks it was good they finally admitted it
We also have mountain lions in Kansas. I've seen them. Also, there's a lynx population in Kansas.
I've lived and worked in Alaska for several years. Worked above the Arctic Circle on the Chukchi Sea coast. Polar Bears will actively hunt a human and are very smart.
We lived down in the Anchorage area and had Coastal Brown Bears...again dangerous but not apt to actively attack humans but will.
Now the title of this is largest "predator". Now not a predator but if I had a choice between a PO'ed Bull Moose or a Brown Bear, I think I'd choose to just stay home.
Brown Bear is the GRIZZLY BEAR !
In the USA anyway - tho also some Kodiak, but they're in the same family as Grizzly.
A grizzly is a brown bear, but there are different types of brown bears.
Grizzlies, Coastal, and Kodiak.
I live in Arkansas. Not only do we have black bears and gators but a few mountain lions. Also, coyotes, elk, white tail deer, rattlesnakes and scads of wild hogs.
They mentioned Coyotes and saying the largest was about 40 lbs (about 18 kg). However, Bob Cats (a medium sized wild cat) can run up to 44 lbs (almost 20 kg). And they are in every state except 3. Having said that, I live in Nevada and most of the Coyotes where I live would push somewhere between 70 (30 kg) and 100 lbs (45 kg). There used to be a couple that walked past the house regularly (just about sunrise every morning) that were easily a 100 lbs - seems like a lot of chickens were missing out this way - lmao. Oh sure, I've seen some that are smaller coyotes, but only the ones that aren't eating too well or were younger maybe. The only things bigger would have been the mountain lions and the Black Bears - luckily they don't walk down the middle of the road like the coyotes did.
I spent 14 years of my life in Georgia. For 4 of those years I was a river guide. Part of my job was to clear the rivers of fallen trees so our canoes could pass through. I can personally assure you there is no shortage of alligators. However when you have a chainsaw the gators leave you alone so it's all cool.
Considering the numbers of the animals in each state that was quoted in the video. The size of the state has to be taken into account. Also, there are coyotes in just about every state in America. And in some states such as California, New Mexico,
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Texas, as well as a host of other states, mountain lions A.K.A. Cougars can be found. It was a very interesting video, but it didn’t tell the whole story. America has a wide variety of wild animals that can turn your happy day into one that you wished you hadn’t gotten out of bed that day. One of the most important things to remember about wild animals, don’t feed them. When people feed them they look to the rest of us as a food source. Not a good situation to be in. And some of them eat a lot. Always enjoy you videos. 🤠👍🇨🇱
I remember that line on a globe looking to see where Maryland temp might line up, I hit just below the island of Hokkaido. Looking at it for EUpeans has Maryland/northern Cali around Greece/southern Italy/Turkey. Texas/Florida is Egypt. Paris would be in Canada. South of that would be Montana/North Dakota. Maryland IMO has decent weather and still the South. In Texas ~100 degrees, I need the AC. According to people talking humidity, gator country feels way hotter, enough you'd rather swim with a dinosaur. The dry heat you can feel the sun sitting on your hair. I dunno if I could take the humidity.
Native to Florida is the American Croc. In my county in Florida, they have caught a 15' and 2 12' Alligator. Florida has 1.3 million Alligators. Our top 4 predators are the Alligators, American Crocodile, Black Bears and the Florida Panther (Cougar). Many states have several large predators.
Check out the Kodiak Bear a sub-species of the Grisly bear. They live on Kodiak Island in Alaska. The Polar Bear only lives in North part of Alaska. They also have Grisly and black bears.
I’m from Houma Louisiana and have had to stop in the middle of the road because of alligator crossing the street. I will say that they much rather run away than deal with humans. I’ve swam in alligator waters plenty of times and never had any problems with our swamp puppies.
Our state flag here in Cali has a bear on it.
You have no idea I have lived in NY a long time I am 79 and like 85% -of people in NY have NEVE been to NY city.. Farms all over the state the State is huge .I live in a small country town everything is a 25 to 30 minutes away. My town has everything we need . People here make home made jam still can thing for the winter all vegetables . I grew up in the city of Buffalo NY. However I love living in the country, Our farms in my area are all owned by Amish and Mede ite . I go to the farm for all my fruited and veg. When season permits
Here in Western Mas of two ships. 90% forest and black bears there are over 4,000.
lots and lots of black bears and alligators. Even with all of the bears, it is amazing how many people have never seen one.
I live in Florida and we have an estimated 1.3 million alligators here.
Less than 10 in Rhode Island?? Then again, Rhode Island is so small, if you eat a box of Cracker Jacks, sometimes Rhode Island falls out...😃😃😃
Brown bears are pretty much a grizzly bear version. Grizzlies can come in various other colours such as silver tip and black or dark chocolate brown and a tan colour as well. It really doesnt matter ehat colour of grizzly you see...you best hope it doesnt see you as they will often not fear you and will charge or attack or at the very least threaten you with a show of force to scare you away...do not turn and run rrom them just back away slowly and make yourself look bigger than you are like holding a ski pole in both hands over your head as you back away. Also works on Moose that try to attack you.😅
