Visiting A Black Bear Den With Cubs
Вставка

- Bear studies and turkey season are in our sights on Kentucky Afield television this weekend, Feb. 27 and 28.
Follow Kentucky Afield television to Letcher County, where snowy mountainsides set the backdrop for black bear research. Biologists with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, with assistance from University of Kentucky researchers, climb into the bears winter dens to count cubs and place radio-tracking collars on hibernating mother bears. Research on bears - one of the forests most secretive animals - helps us to better understand growth and travel patterns of these mammals.
The youngsters are just so adorable.
i wish all animals in the world were treated with the concern, kindness and respect shown here to these magnificent animals!!
Its lot better than 10 15 years ago, lot of organizations are helping animals.
Humans can't even treat each other with concern...all animals aren't any different
And what to do when their numbers start plummeting bc all the older males never let the cubs get enough food and more over never let the young males have a chance to mate? This is why professional ethical hunting helps them survive more than anything else humans can do for them
Aww place them back, babies are shivering
I always enjoy your Dept of F and W vids from Kentucky, plus, I love black bears. Cheers from WA!
Isn’t this a gazillion times better than hunting a beautiful animal? I’ll never understand the need to kill something for fun. Much better to help it live a full and healthy life.
kulebrero nah, if i want a moose head on the wall i have to do it the old fashion way
@@ultra_axe7812 why would you want a head on your wall

Never heard about GETTING FOOD?
Population control is also very important to bear survival. Most Hunter’s aren’t hunting “for fun.” They are hunting for food. To stock up for Winter. Relying on your local grocery store to always have meat is a stupid thing to do. Shortages are a fact of life, and FOOD is a necessity.
if i was a bear i would be pissed off having that stupid collar on my neck
seriously can't they microchip the bear like they do for dogs?
@@amaliasafaryan4256 Microchips are great, but are far more expensive and one-time use. Collars are noninvasive, safe, and are often designed to fall off after a certain amount of time, after which they can be picked up and used again. The reason they can't just be like your dog's microchip is that your dog's microchip is designed to hold information accessible only when they're brought into a pound or vet, so runaway dogs can get back to their owners. These collars- or microchips in some cases- send out radio signals and/or gps locations so they can be easily found again or their movement can be tracked, which is much more complicated (and expensive) than holding a name and phone number. The collars also don't cause any behavioral changes after a very short period of the animal getting used to them- kinda like wearing a necklace.
@@willgibson2924 "...kinda like wearing a necklace" says the man, lol. Maybe like wearing a bondage collar. The biggest thickest spikiest one they make haha. Jokes aside, I feel really bad for the ones that r collared because I'd imagine they get itchy- at the very least.
BEAR: "I had a real weird dream!"
ya gotta love Kentucky!
That is just awesome. Thanks guys.
I got a city bear that eats my figs and from restraunt dumpsters nearby and hangs out in the woods behind my house. I named her Nuisette. she's a 10 month cub and mama was killed by a car
Hello you still there !
So cute
Petting them does not teach them to stay away from humans
Awesome video!
Video is 12 years ago. I wonder if the Kentucky bears are still thriving?
So scary mama bear is a big one
Little bears are cute but they grow up and become wild quickly.
There is a black bear that comes by my house and has been since a cub. A new one started coming by I always give them chocolate cake and frozen sausages 🗿
And what to do when their numbers start plummeting bc all the older males never let the cubs get enough food and more over never let the young males have a chance to mate? This is why professional ethical hunting helps them survive more than anything else humans can do for them
👍😉
Did he say he wants people and bears to interact more and get used to one another to be able to coexist more easily I understand the reasoning behind it do bears don't see us a major threat and are less likely to attack us out of fear or even for food but its just not that simple
I just smoked a fatty and had a thought. Whats a bear den look like?
How mama sleep for 4 months with newly born babies?...don't they need milk to survive?
Hibernation isn't just sleeping. Bears can wake up to move around within their den, pregnant mama bears especially.
Lol they wake up to give birth and care for their cubs 🙄🙄🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I feel bad that they have to live with those annoying collars...
worth it if it helps keep the population growing and safe!
Right. Cant they make them thinner and smaller at least?
Was she up in a tree?
NO, you never have to kill the beautiful animals!!! Just catch them and release them in deep woods/mountains far away from towns!!!!!
Apparently bears will find their back to towns over over again, no matter how far you put them.
Leave them alone putting chips in them is invasive
Just leave the bears alone.
You do not own them they are from god.
How bout let em breed so we can enjoy sport hunting 😂😂🤦🏻♂️😉😉😉😉😉🙄🙄🙄🙄
Science over God u schizo
