- Tineke and Mike are two seniors from The Netherlands and travelled many times through West and East Canada, West and Midwest USA and Alaska. They love the wildlife as so many people do! After making only video, Tineke and Mike also started taking pictures. And of course a big hallo and thanks to all the nice people we met, including the locals that gave us good advice!!!
Wikipedia: The Kermode bear, sometimes called the spirit bear (Ursus americanus kermodei), is a subspecies of the American black bear and lives in the Central and North Coast regions of British Columbia, Canada. It is the official provincial mammal of British Columbia and symbol of Terrace, British Columbia. While most Kermode bears are black, between 100 and 500 fully white individuals exist. The white variant is known as spirit bear, and is most common on three islands in British Columbia (Gribbell, Princess Royal, and Roderick), where they make up 10-20% of the Kermode population.Spirit bears hold a prominent place in the oral traditions of the indigenous peoples of the area. They have also been featured in a National Geographic documentary.

I love bears!🥰
Perfekt gefilmt und einfach wunderbar, wieder ein schöner Beweis, dass wenn wir den Wildtieren ihren natürlichen Lebensraum mit ausreichend Futter lassen, ihnen nicht zu nahe kommen, dann kann es zwischen Mensch und Tier gelingen. Vielen Dank für diieses tolle Video😍😍😍
Danke!
I watch these videos about bears for a reason, so that I can actually learn about them! They are actually my favorite animals and I enjoy watching them eat!
Uio
Beautiful
The fur is so pretty and the little ears are so cute 🥺
They are just chilling and catching themselves a great meal! Nice and peaceful ❤
Their fur is beautiful
They sure do enjoy eating salmon!
At least this bear is actually getting enough nutritions from eating a lot of salmon! a huge meal for all of these bears!
Cool to see their chubby butts waddle off to hibernate.
The bears have a long lifespan from 30-40 years.
The great spirit of the forest. This is a supernatural creature.
No it is not! It is a bear.
@@gigiis526 the native Americans in the area refer to it as the Spirit bear and believe it to be the physical manifestation of the Forrest’s spirit
So Beautiful. The bear is nice too. 🍃🌎🕊
I like how that bear has swimming lessons when they grab their own food!!!
Just be glad that this rare species is being watched over no matter how they're fed. Frozen, or live salmon, they'll eat whatever they can find.
That bear likes real food, just ate $1,000 Worth of salmon!
Such beautiful coloring. Orange-blonde fur is so lush on it.
That bear likes real food. Just ate $500 worth of salmon
im jealous
fishing is better than buying salmon
You would not want to eat those salmon!
@@aaronmatheson9730 Fishing near Grizzlies happens at such places all the time... with expensive guides/guards. 🤦
#yikes
Bummed. I didn't realize the spirit bears were on utube. I was hoping they would have stayed a delightful secret. Sure was nice to see them again tho. Thanks for the upload.🙂👍🤘⭐🐻
So basically, you can see them but not others? Get real!
what a beautiful being!
they're totally wonderful animals!!
yeah nearly being a dinner
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
So cute!🥰
Great video and no annoying adds. Thank you so much.
Cuteness overloaded
Polar bearwandered to BC and met a black bear. They fell in love. This is the result of their love. And it is beautiful.
no
Медведь- альбинос или помесь бурного с белым! Интересное создание! Да он и не один такой!
Beautiful bear.
This bear breed must be protected. This is the rare breed.
They are really not a breed all to themselves. They are just North American black bears that have a recessive gene.
They all need a hand tbh.
Great footage!
Thank you again!
There are actually two of them in this video, making the sighting even more special.
See my other video: three white bears!!!
Thank You for this video! You did a great job! Because I wanna learn about bears and they are my most favorite animals.
Wow good luck..many fish around you..enjoy catching.. So cute..
This is a good video because this bear is actually getting the
Nutritious foods that he/she needs!! This bear wants to be healthier and much happier!!!
This bear got all the decent amount of Nutrients that this bear actually needs before they go and hibernate in their cave!!
😂
I have to eat well in preparation for the winter.
Salmon is delicious!
Not only for bears but human beings as well!
Just Amazing
What a beautiful place that is...
Beautiful forest
I appreciate seeing these beautiful animals; but, too, too close! 😬
Wow. Must have been a treat to catch that.
love this scene so many bears wild and free
Bears go for the egg sacks for the high fat content and usually leave the majority of the fish in tact. The shots of the bear eating the 'dead' salmon is late in the season. It has some pretty good weight on it by this time too. Nice video.
Not according to the videos I’ve seen. The bear eats the whole goddamn fish.
@@logicalblackman8228 In places where the fish are most plentiful, it's quite common to see nearly the entire fish left behind after they eat the parts mentioned.
@@mortalclown3812 Yeah, you’re right.
Bears are always hungry! They eat a whole bunch of salmon a day!
Cute baby
Bears actually know how to take care of themselves!
Hermosos documentales de animales en Nationala Geográfica, felicidades
It looks beautiful
Average Ping wwqq1!aytuu7ifhf
That bear likes real food, just literally ate $1,000 worth of salmon!
Why is this bear so cute chewing his food, blood all over his face?
He looks like a giant teddie bear.
Exactly what I thought. So cute, yet so killing.
It's ugly.
Yehi
J
that bear look so cute, fat and very soft.
ohh i want to hug
Bahahah after that you'll be hugging jesus 😂
These bears actually have to do this because they are actually wild animals!
Bears just spend most of their lives eating Salmon!
These bears are having fun eating healthier food!!!!!
How can it be so deadly and cute at the same time
Slo Slo
I take it you've never seen some
pussy up close.. 😎
Ask Ted Bundy 🤷!
@@Coco-xw3wp Or Jeffrey Dahmer
Daniel, that's a great comment!!
Yay bears
Bears are cool as fuck
Brilliant video, nice work
Thank you!!!
What a beautiful creature!! Is it an Albino?
I love real food too guys!!
love this!
I'd like to see that bear eat a gobbstopper from Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory! LOL!!
These bears don't give a shit about video games. They just eat a lot of food and then sleep for a long time!
Looks like a hybrid polar-grizzly bear. The future...evolution in progress.
but this is white black bear
♥
bear was humping that tree stump tho!!! Go git you some Mr. Bear! We all need some luvin! LOL
It was scratching an itchy spot, not humping...
Man this things are so hard to find your lucky dude!!!
Thanks!
Top of the animal food chain.. absolutely love these creatures
Human's
Photographer to close. Beautiful bear
These bears have never been hunted. Only photography so they have no fear at all. They are incredibly gentle and frequently sit next to photographers. Only this tiny population though!!
Eating good‼🐨🐻🤤🤤
I like it's eating style
The Spirit Bear a very very sacred animal to the Native American people of The U.S. and Canada
Native Americans find the sacred in so many places, animals... seasons.
😍😍😍😍
He is doing good
He has the munchies!
Good
Like the way there no ads
alot of fish 😘
Did I see 2 rare bears? I saw it twice, or is it a double exposure?
nice vdo
super mooi
groeten
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
2:48, apparently spirit bears are quite rare so to see two of them in one place is quite the occurrence
Really?
@@californiawildlife3332 Yeah, I heard once that they're rarer than giant pandas
Could be this animal a hybrid between polar and grizzly?
@@joaovictorsilvateobaldo2043 Nah, pizzly/grolar bears are something else entirely. Spirit bears are basically black bears with a rare recessive gene that makes their fur the complete opposite colour
2:15 Styling it😂
Man the bear is saving a fish from drowning. man nature is so beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Very itchy bears :-)
😍😍😍😍😍😍
👍👍👍👍
thank you for this awesome videos plus i wonder how you guys can get up so close without any conflict with the bears wow.
We have a zoomlens on the camera. And those bears are peaceful, no bad experience with people, never been hunted for instance. See our other video's on our channel: www.UA-cam.com/TinekeMike!
@@Tinekemike they are peaceful until they arent.
This bear likes real food! He ate $1,000
worth of salmon!
for bears uncooked = cooked , for us cooked=cooked . idk i’m just baked out of my mind rn
You look it in your pfp!😂😂😂😂'm getting there myself!! The crazy shit we watch on utube when stoned- like Amish Rake Fights and the psycho who married the Golden Gate Bridge and Twerking Dogs 🐕. I love you Utube.😜😇💙💜♥️
Wow polar bear
every time i see an adult kermode bear its face looks tired lol
Probably just tired of all the tree huggers photographing them from 20 yards and habituating their way into a run in with the local conservation officer.
Bear look like giant teddy bear big
Go Bears!
My fav part is where he scratches his ass with a rock rofl
Spirit Bear is eating Spirit Salmon. and by eating all these spirit salmons, The spirit level of our Spirit Bear is getting higher
Your comment was STUPID 😒
Wonder how their throat works. They are eating with the bone right? Just wonder if fish's bone cuts their throat.
Really looks like a Grolar bear. I accept it's a "Kermode" bear but that aside, i would say that we will see more and more hybrids as the ice caps melt further and their habitats merge more.
There’s been some debate about that. What makes you think that? The Grolars/Pizzlys I’ve seen have a brownish hue whereas the spirit/Kermode is more orangish like this one. Also this video was shot in an area known to have a spirit bear population. Maybe the person that posted this will weigh in since they call it a spirit bear. It’s body type is also more brown bear than polar. Polar bears heads are more pointed, not round like this one. Any way, I think so. Anyway, I appreciate the polite debate. Elsewhere I’ve seen people being so rude when they disagree. I don’t get that.
this is white black bear!!
Kermode/Spirit bears aren’t hybrids. They are normal American black bears they just possess a rare usually recessive genetic trait, pizzly/Grolar bears are hybrids however
Bee swarm fans unite
These salmon were at the end of their journey that’s why they were so easy to catch. They were slow tired and dying anyway.
Why are they dying?
@@smoofceggie9740 It's the natural life cycle of the salmon. When it's time to lay eggs, they swim back to the river they were born in to lay they're eggs. Once they'e laid, the salmon dies of exaustion.
No entiendo como la gente pude matar a estos animales solo por su piel. Sinceramente son animales muy hermosos en increibles, son los dueños de los bosques y montañas.
Las personas son los verdaderos mounstros que se matan a si mismos
