I still can't get over what a sleepy sweet face Mamma Bear has.I hope she and her wee ones will get to live out their lives unharmed and in full. Thank You for all the good that you do Rick Mercer. You Truly DO make our world a better place:)
This video makes me smile big time every time I watch it. Did you folks notice that squealy bear shut up as soon as Rick placed him inside his warm jacket? He was cooold for a few seconds.
Rick Mercer is one of the best comedians and he can have fun or make any situation funny. The one with the bears is great and be sure to watch the one with The Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They are all great
Momma Bear and her three very young cubs in the wild of northern Ontario , Canada . Humane wildlife experts taking a winter bear census right in the hibernation dens. Besides the cute 6 week old baby bears (eyes still closed). The guy (Rick Mercer) delivers some funny lines.
Agree. That's why I took photos and videos for animals who live in the wild (deer, chicken, turkey ...) and put them in my children's book to show them what are "real" nature creature. They talk to me too: voice of goats.
@CampCook12345 This is one of my youtube favorites. Every few months I come back to it. Rick is very clever, and it is also obvious that he loves the little bears. I love just about all furry mammals ..... but I also have nothing against hunters. We have an enormous overpopulation of deer in the eastern USA, for example.
this video is adorable. i can't believe the baby bears are so little. i just came back from the state of Virginia and i was hoping to see a black bear but unfortunetly we didn't but it is ironic that i just happen to have this video in my email box. so glad they sent it to me.
Thumbs up number 41, Yoko. Rick was very clever, talking/joking about the shovel, the jab stick, a "double dose," and hitting the ranger over the head and running if the mother bear did try to come out and attack. But I bet she was pretty groggy (though clearly awake), even before the jab stick pinched her. I have heard that their metabolism slows WAY down while they are hibernating. Besides, she was vastly outnumbered, too.
@GungHo1032 "I wonder how many thousands of dollars are spent every year, just so we can know exactly how many bears there are, and how much they weigh?" I'm pretty sure it's just done to give the people who really run the world a good laugh. "Yeah, uh", giggle giggle, cough, "we're going to need you to count and weigh all the wild bears in the hemisphere." "That will be your job....thanks for stopping in..." door closes .... hysterical laughter breaks out .....
I've watched this video before. They cut out the line after 2:46 where Rick says "I think we should have the gun." Can always count on the CBC to rewrite history.
@YokoPolaris Thank you for that. Such a nice counterpoint to those here who assume that trained scientists and specialists in bear behavior know less than they do. It's particularly amusing when a gun-toter insists he never sets food in the woods without a firearm capable of killing a bear. That's someone who either doesn't spend much time in the woods or doesn't spend time there except to kill the wildlife. Go science!
Wait until they are about two or three months old; I've worked a bit with orphaned bear cubs and they are mischievous as hell, LOL. They also smell bad.
On US we are all tagged by government (Social Security number issued at birth) and our health tracked by government despite privacy laws. Difference is that the bears are treated more humanely than uninsured Americans.
Oh man that's good. Hey, do a show on beavers and call the fat one Lizzie May. OhOh and do a show on Varying Hares (Snowshoe rabbits) that change their fur colour seasonally and call the buck toothed goggleyed one, Bob Ray. Ahahahahahaha good one Rick.
I miss seeing these on TV. Rick Mercer was and still is a great Canadian.
This guy is so much fun to listen to.
They are adorable!
"Can I name them?"
"Do I have to put all three back? Can I keep one?"
Too funny!

"Are Canadian bears the only ones with universal healthcare?"
LOL
I've watched this at least seven times by now, and I am entertained and awed each time. This guy's got a great style.
I'm surprised at how big the collar was, you would think in todays technology that they could make it smaller.
Rick Mercer is a national treasure.
I couldn't stop grinning. Wonderful story.
What an incredible experience that must have been.
Remember Rick, you don't need to outrun the bear, just the scientist.
LOL!! Funny!!! XD
🤣🤣🤣
This is one of my favorite videos of all time!
Absolutely love this. Rick is a great "host', super sense of humor.
THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST /FUNNIEST YOU TUBES I HAVE EVER ENJOYED.
irene bartlett ikrrr

You always make me laugh Rick❤️
I swear, the things rick has done in his career. Ranging from tagging black bear babies to flying in fighter jets!
I'm glad I was informed of the huge amount of vicious animals AFTER I went for a dogsledding expedition and slept in that park for days.
I miss this show.
One of my fav videos! Rick, you are amazing!
I wish he was still on. He's spontaneously funny
"we came we saw we protected a speces", well at least untill the Queens guards get them for hats!
The little bear cubs are very cute!
OMG....The baby bears are amazing....so beautiful to see Momma & Babies in their home....ahhhhhhh.
Very technical experience, you have the jab stick and I have the shovel.
This was a great video! Very educational but delightfully funny!! Loved it and will watch again!
Thank you for the education. Glad to see a positive outcome for the bears and cubs instead reading they are being killed in their dens.
♡♡♡♡
Awesome and he was hilarious
The cubs are so cute.
Not only funny as heck but really quite interesting.
Cute. Cute❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How wonderful ! Thank you!
Can you imagine Rick Mercer as a kid?? Must have been an amusing handful !!!
This video is much more popular than the Cockroach Tagging one.
“Pull on its ear” Is that like “Don’t poke the bear”. What wonderful work!
Momma Bear and her three very young cubs in the wild of northern Ontario ,
Canada . Humane wildlife experts taking a winter bear census right in the
hibernation dens. Besides the cute 6 week old baby bears (eyes still closed).
The guy (Rick Mercer) delivers some funny lines.
This is great.
I give it 10 thumbs up.
Americans must be apoplectic when they hear “we don’t carry fire arms, we have a shovel”
How sweet are the little cubs. I'm a teddy bear lover.
Agree. That's why I took photos and videos for animals who live in the wild (deer, chicken, turkey ...) and put them in my children's book to show them what are "real" nature creature.
They talk to me too: voice of goats.
I like the way Dr Rogers collars the bears better, with trust and food rewards.
Coolest animal video I've watched in a while.
What a great educational video
this is hysterical and wonderful and funnier than all get out.....
Wow those cubs are so cute!
Really enjoyed seeing the hibernating bears!
Nature is wonderful!
They poked the Bear to many times. Awake. 🐻. Yes.
Love it!
Animal form of alien abduction.
*GOOD ONE. Awesomness level 100 reached.*

this MIGHT be the cutest thing I've ever seen!!!! :)
My best friend used to live in Algonquin IL. 40 yrs ago. We went snow mobiling, it tipped over on me, I was pinned underneath
Give them spaces and leave them alone! We try 🤔
HAHAHAHA "The creaming one is Danny Williams." brilliant
omg those sweet babies! precious!
Loved this episode!
+Terri Rankin Me too Terri :) Rick restores my Hope for the rest of our species.
That’s beautiful! Amazing life experience. 😊
this video is adorable. i can't believe the baby bears are so little. i just came back from the state of Virginia and i was hoping to see a black bear but unfortunetly we didn't but it is ironic that i just happen to have this video in my email box. so glad they sent it to me.
Rick, is fantastic! I really enjoyed his commentary. Thanks, for posting this.
05:39 looks like they used a vice to crush the baby bears head :(
Adorable cubs!
Rick Mercer is very funny but an amazing video of how they tag bears & their cubs.
Who's here for Fat Bear Week 2022? Me I guess. 😜
Ever so cute bears. Very funny man that.
I could watch this video 24/7 !!!!
You are a national treasure.
baby bears are sooooo adorable
Yeah, I'm a little late, but such an awesome video, love this guy!
Guess this is what they mean by "Shovel ready" projects. Rick finally found one!
My friend Roxanne shared this video with me! It is cute...Canada's finest!
Canada and its inhabitants are earthly treasures! Truly North America's finest.
On RMR the vids are broadcast in a studio...in front of an audience..hence the laughter
Great stuff! Rick mercer for PM!
So cute and a bit funny!
There was recently a tv show on BBC about bears with a similar perspective, The bear family and me.
Thumbs up number 41, Yoko. Rick was very clever, talking/joking about the shovel, the jab stick, a "double dose," and hitting the ranger over the head and running if the mother bear did try to come out and attack. But I bet she was pretty groggy (though clearly awake), even before the jab stick pinched her. I have heard that their metabolism slows WAY down while they are hibernating. Besides, she was vastly outnumbered, too.
I'm American and I heart Canada!
I still can’t believe they canceled this
It wasn't canceled, he retired.
Well Rick that is the best report I have ever seen you do...
Well done...
:)
I am ridiculously jealous of Rick right now. Most biologists would kill for this opportunity!
most amazing clip

Funny guy gets & puts baby bears.... nice.
A shovel, to shovel all the shit I've been dealt.
Bears: fking UWI ( unidentified walking idiots) 🛸
Great video.
He is Hilarious !! Great video TY
it is truly amazing what becomes available to the world to view. Thanks
Rick Mercer just gets cooler and cooler!

Trolls are so cuddly...
Remember, I don't need to outrun the bear. I only need to outrun you.
Wait until they are about two or three months old; I've worked a bit with orphaned bear cubs and they are mischievous as hell, LOL.
They also smell bad.
Interesting and fun video, the cubs are so cute.
I met that guy on a fishing trip to the Park.
On US we are all tagged by government (Social Security number issued at birth) and our health tracked by government despite privacy laws. Difference is that the bears are treated more humanely than uninsured Americans.
I would feel a bit scared... being dropped off in the middle of the forest around all these wild animals while teh helicopter left :P lol
Oh man that's good.
Hey, do a show on beavers and call the fat one Lizzie May.
OhOh and do a show on Varying Hares (Snowshoe rabbits) that change their fur colour seasonally and call the buck toothed goggleyed one, Bob Ray.
Ahahahahahaha good one Rick.
