Grizzly bear loses cub, reunites over a year later!

- This female had her first cub in 2009. In 2010 we respond to a report that a male has charged out of the trees at a worker in a skidster before turning it's attention on this female and her yearling. A chase insues with the boar keying in on the cub and the two of them disappear into the bush. By the time we get there she feeds but is visibly agitated, and we fear the worse for the cub. She is now cubless and returns to mating that season and the following spring in 2011 she emerges with two brand new cubs. She keeps them real close and avoids particular areas the males will be to keep them safe. Late in the summer one of the staff spots her high on the slope, she is not just nursing two cubs, but a third cub, one that is considerably bigger. Now two years old, the lost female cub from 2010 has finally found it's way back to mom no worse for wear. Mom accepts it with open arms at an age the females typically desperse, and even takes it to den. In 2012 she shows up with her two yearlings and her three year old cub, and immediately bolts out of the area as it is the mating season. The family of bears are seen all over and are very comfortable around human activity, she knows by doing this her cubs will remain safe, all three of them are female. For a good month she is monitored until she was ready to come home. It was such an incredible dynamic to be apart of, and seeing something was truly rare to see. Working with bears, you always get to see something new and are constantly learning.
For those wondering if the cub that returned was actually hers, DNA confirmed it was her daughter. All three cubs were female.

The strategy by mama bear to cross river at the river bend is brilliant. Even if the cubs get swept a bit, the bend in the river assures they will be much closer to the bank due to the flow
I’m not even smart enough to think of that.
@@WastedDad 😆
What an absolutely awesome Mama 🐻. I'm so happy she took her older cub back into the family fold 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Making up for lost time !!
Loved to have seen the moment mom and older sibling recognized each other. Nature has its beautiful moments. ❤️
So true!
She probably gave him a big bear hug!!!
Then a spanking for worrying her...
Then another big bear hug!!!
Right me too ❤️
Wow. That lost cub must have denned on its own and survived through the time. Amazing story!
That cub never stopped searching for mom. It's a miracle it managed to stay alive at just 2 yo.
It was just a yearling when it got separated. It survived and figured out how to build a den for the winter.
@@snappingbear Yeah I dunno if I believe it tbh
@@IncredibleLyrics Maybe the yearling found mama as they were getting ready to den up for winter? Perhaps mama went back to the same den, and the yearling was waiting for her there. Who knows, either way it's a cool story.
What a wonderful & touching story especially knowing how hard it had to be for that cub to survive....so glad she got to find her mom & learn more before being on her own for good. Thanks for sharing this great story!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, thank you
Nature is so amazing that even the best screenwriter wouldn't create such a story. 🐻
Yes. We are part of it too. We are not separate from nature.
What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing how she climbed up the 25 ft steep embankment with such ease...a walk in the park
Thank you! That is so wonderful for her and the cub! As a mother, I hurt for them at the loss.
Wow. So sad the mothers loss in the beginning. But the ending bringing new life, and a life thought lost back together as 1 big family. Proves a mother's love is unending. Thank you for sharing this capture with us. Would love to see what happens in the future of new family members. And there babies.
I totally agree!
I'm speechless having found her first cub..incredible!!! Thanks again for all your hard work 👣🌲🌻
Such an incredible story, they all look very healthy, strong & in great shape with extra weight for the hibernation season coming on, way to go mama, you deserve your cubs, they are yours to keep!
Great video! This sow is a wonderful Mother Bear.
Mom taught the older cub well. I'm glad it was able to fend for his/her self during the time away.
They are so intelligent and smart I love bears Mama Bear so pleased her cubby is reunited with its family
Good mama bear! Its a miracle the little cub survived and found it's mama. It's especially amazing because mama kept him despite having two smaller cubs to raise. I don't think that's something that happens very often. This female bear has very strong maternal instincts to adapt and provide for these cubs in this way. It's a truly amazing and lovely story! 💗🐻🐻🐻🐻💗
Thank you for sharing this with us!🤗
You made my day … thank you!
Thank you too!
Absolutely beautiful!! Never have I seen anything like that!! What a great mama!! And the babies now have an older sibling!!!
So happy to hear she reunited with the first one she lost. Omg It must have been a hard lonely battle without his mama and thank you for sharing Made my heart ache with happiness 😇🌹❤️
Thank you Bear Guy, this story made my day!! You do great work and without folks like you, the wilds would be forgotten and what a grim future that would be. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much.
Good to see rh reunited, also good to the cub not aggressive to her/his smaller siblings. The pain of losing a cub us now over and she knows her baby is safe must have been such a relief for her and her lost cub who must missed her/his mother terribly. Can't imagine those lonely frightening nights on her/his own. Such a brave cub survived and so happy they together again. I wish this bear family all the best hope they THRIVE ❤️☯️😇
That cub must be one tough Grizzly. Not much will scare it when its grown.
The 3 y/o is the kind of bear that winds up living in mom's basement as an adult.
So amazing! I really wonder how that reunion went. There was a cub in Yellowstone area that got separated from its mom for a month. Everyone was amazed when it survived and then was reunited with mom. Unfortunately it didn’t survive to be seen the following spring.
Your grizzly bear story raised my spirits today - thanks for sharing it and the real pretty scenery too.
Thank you for sharing their journeys, what a beautiful blessing!
Our pleasure!
He's like "Ehh....economy's bad....I'm moving back in with mom."
Once again you've brought Canada into my home in England! We miss our summers in Kananaskis - our favourite part of Alberta.
With many thanks, and all best wishes.
Glad it made your day!
That's one tough survivor 2-3 year old cub. That must of been scary the first year being by itself so young.
That is nothing short of a Beary tale! Truly amazing and inspiring! Thank you for posting such a heart-warming video. ❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an incredible story! I wonder how mama explained the older cub to the yearlings
Thank you for sharing love of nature. It is inspiring🐻
What a beautiful ending for Momma and the 3 babies.
Speaks to the resilience of the cub.
That was really interesting! Thanks for documenting these bears
How beautiful this is ,thank you so much for sharing💕
You are so welcome
What an awesome story. I watch the bears at Brooks River in Katami Alaska. One sow had adopted a lost cub of another sow, year 2015 I believe. It was awesome
The lost cub most be an absolute badass. Imagine being 1 year old, on your own, surviving through everything, including other predators, starvation, and most of all, winter.
They become hide and seek champions. They learn quick where there "outs" are and not to over expose themselves to threat. I've seen a handful of yearlings have to den themselves and they are usually pretty shy and walk on eggshells till they put on some size.
Yay!
Amazing and truly unique story! Thank you 💚
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love what you do!
Thank You from a bear lover in Nc
Your right.....just goes to show there is nothing more important than family.
I love how mama bears are super super protective of cubs 💕 awesome mamas. Also Crossing at the bend of river her mama would of possibly taught her this as a cub too
Oh baby baby. So nice to see you again.
What a good mother!
Absolutely fantastic story, thank you for your great work ☘️
Glad you enjoyed it
Beary cool! 🐻🐻🐻🐻What a smart cub to survive a year on it's own so young.
Love this video awesome. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is truly heart warming. Nature is so beautiful.
So glad nothing bad happened honestly I can no longer watch animals get hurt or killed. Perhaps because of my positive experiences with animals while living in the country. Thank you for the positive and sweet story. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome story, hopefully they will all stay safe from here on out......thank you!
Notice she didn't fall apart when tragedy struck. She kept going and life got a lot better.
The posters she put up worked!!!
🐻
Have you seen me???
That is an amazing story. Thank you for sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video , Subscribed . Thanks .
Thanks, enjoy close to 100 videos
I’m so happy she has her kids with her.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful family these bears are! 🐻
Yes they are!
It’s completely amazing to me that you guys are able to keep track of and follow the story of a bear’s life. I don’t particularly care for those big collars that are put on the bears though. Wish there was a better/smaller way to do it. Thank you for letting us experience this amazing part of nature thru your work!
When it came to the data and tracking the story, I don't think there's anyone else that cared to the level I did. To the others, it was a bear with a number, and a bear they had to work daily. I needed to know more, and each bear had it's own interesting story, and each year was just another chapter. I took tons of notes, and as you can see, lots of video from all the years.
@@TheBearGuyCanada it’s impressive! Thanks for all the effort 🥰
@@TheBearGuyCanada I hope that they use your data to further knowledge and better protect these gems. I see the same level of passion at Katmai for knowing bear "stories." It warms my heart! Thank you for keeping bears and people safe!
@@hisservants8003 , unfortunately I resigned and took my data, memories and experiences with me. We had a stretch of real bad management that there was a high level of disrespect shown and many of us chose to leave, thats what is really sad.
@@anniinthewoods8287 , don't even joke.....I'd be on a plain tomorrow. I have been all over Alberta, BC, into the Yukon, NWT, and the Nunavut doing bear management, I would love to add Sweden to the resume.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video
Amazing and beautiful story! ❤️🙏
I always enjoy nature videos where no animals were harmed. Thanks for the assist crossing the highway.
Thanks for watching
Simply amazing
Thank you so much.
Most welcome 😊
❤️What an incredible family story!
Great story, the difference in size from 2 to 3 years old is incredible, the 3 year old cub is about twice the size of the 2 year olds.
Anyone else hear the "Farkin Hell" at 2:05 ? 🤣 If that's not an Aussie I'll eat my boots.
What an amazing story?such reunions are a rarity in the wild.
(2 young cubs)- "Hey what are you doing here your not in our class"
(Older Cub)- " I got held back a year " 🤷♂️
The only thing on earth that's 100% pure which is all wildlife.
Extremely peaceful and calming no humans around
Totally Amazing, return off lost Pub, then bonding with new Cubs. 🤔🌅🇺🇸🇩🇰🙏🌷
Wow what a great story and it's amazing you were able to track her over the years. Is this in Banff?
It's a nice story but what is the likelyhood of a yearling cub surviving well over an entire year, food and weather, predation...without his mother and then reuniting ? Are you sure it's her "lost" cub or just a random adoption ? It's clear that she wouldn't have mated had the cub been with her all along and the coat of the larger cub is very similar to the other two but I'm hesitant to believe a yearling has survived alone for so long.
Yearlings have been known to survive, this happened in the valley with another sow and the yearling was tagged. It survived but never reunited with mom. If you work these areas long enough, you get to know who's who and where "unknowns" are from. This was her two year old. For them to survive, they need to be fast, avoid trouble, be weary, and take advantage of food sources as they come. They learn quick what they need to do and what will bring them harm.
5:09 An 8 foot griz strolling past the kids play area. One tough neighbourhood. lol
Great great video
Did you see the incident at brooks yesterday. 856 ran two of 39 cubs to who knows where .
That was fascinating! I’ve been enjoying learning everything I can about bears, so I can be less afraid of them when I’m on the trail :-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
There are still plenty’s of loving & compassionate humans who DONT HURT wildlives. Hope “hunters” have a change of heart & protect them instead!👏
That gotta to be great sight the last ending picture of bear cutting through motorway for passing drivers! Amazing at easy how mother bear climb over rocky steep!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great Bear Story !👌
Glad you liked it!
I guess they have accepted us with our cars and freeways lol
Bears are freaking dangerous creatures. I had one enter my house one day and sit on my sofa. It had raided my fridge (as bears do) and was eating my food. I said, "BEAR! Get the FUCK out of my house!"
The bear looked at me with sad eyes and I swear it spoke! It said, "Okay Dad."
Beautifully narrated.
Glad you liked it!
YAY little bear family!
Binge watching bears on yt is the best
IN MY VIEW
Great video. Thanks for sharing with us.
Glad you enjoyed it
That cub that survived will likely live along time.
The sow grizzly bear's nose knows. Good video TBG.
