This environment would create a different kind of Grizzly Bear. Shorter fur, stronger nose, better eyesight, leaner body and muscle tone, and more aquatic in nature. It would probably become more aborial as well; especially younger bears evading predators. I don't think that there would be an embalance at all. In fact, a grizzley bear would be a rich addition to such an environment. Especially to other predators and how they would adapt to the bears presence. It would be very interesting to see the adaptations from both angles for sure. 👍

Most smarter top predators like Chimps/Humans, Dolphins/Orcas, and Bears other then the polar bear could basically survive anywhere as long as it has enough prey and plants. Those three general species types basically won the genetic lottery.
I think crocodiles/gators are the best in that sense, they don't die of old age, from biological aging instead they die because of other factors like injury & being unable to feed themselves either because of the injury or because of other external factors. They also are adapted to survive in cold weather, if the lake is frozen the crocodile can sortly hybernate, leaving his snout above the water for breathing and his body goes in a sleep mode, their metabolic rate slows down where it is said that he reduces his heartbeat up to 3 beats per minute. And they also can last without food for months or even a year.

Bears also can't survive in the Savannahs, and where bears survive is very selective. Even Orcas, who live in a low diversity ocean, only thrive because the giant predatory whales and sharks went extinct some 3 million years ago, we have fossil evidence that the mighty orcas were regularly preyed upon by the mighty Levyiatans and the mighty megaladons in those times. Dolphins today, most of which struggle, are regularly preyed upon by orcas, bull sharks, tiger sharks and GWS. You confuse intelligence with adaptability. Some of the whales that went extinct alongside the megs and levyiatans were likely more intelligent than todays dolphins and orcas.

The grizzly bear would immediately become the apex predator of the Amazon. I don’t think a jaguar, anaconda, caiman or giant river otters could come close. The biggest problem for the grizzlies would be all the poisonous things that they have never encountered before.
I think the main problem grizzlies would face in the Amazon rainforest is keeping their cubs alive, given the many potential predators. If a mountain lion can take down a cub, then almost anything on the Amazon predator list could as well. Additionally, there are far more predators, as well as poisonous animals and critters.
They are heavier on average than most grizzly bears, not to mention they live in and around the water. Grizzlies are good swimmers but not anywhere close to crocodiles.
You give the grizzly bear an hour and a half, they'll be the undisputed king of the Amazon. The only animals that the bear would have to contend with is the black caiman and the Orinoco crocodile 🐊. Jaguars wouldn't have much of a problem against the smaller caiman, but the bigger ones would stand up to a jaguar and bear. Plus, cougars have encountered grizzly, but not even they can take them down unless they're injured. The only way a jaguar could take a grizzly bear out is for the grizzly bear to be severely injured. Other than that, those two crocodiles are capable of keeping a grizzly bear at bay.
An anaconda could present a problem for a Grizzly not to mention the climate itself. I suspect if a Grizzly bear could survive in the amazon it would be smaller. As for the Jaguar. Head to head a Grizzly in most cases will be able to take down a Jaguar but I can see how a Jaguar could ambush a Grizzly like say Jumping on the Grizzly from a tree above the Grizzly bear and puncturing the Grizzly bears neck with it's amazing Bite Force.
Yes and also no. The rainforest animals would have field advantage. A grizzly would get way too hot in the environment, so its issue would be involved in trying adapt to its environment. It would take multiple generations to be one of the top predators as how natural selection in the bears would be needed. Think of it like this, one countries heat warnings to stay inside, is another countries average day in the summer. The other country calls a state of emergency when it gets a bit of snow, the other makes their kids walk to school in snow storms lol. A bear in the rainforest is built for the cold, it could die from the heat and dehydration alone.
I swear every single comment on this video is nothing but little kids saying the same "grizzly solos because it's big scary big teeth strong" Bro if you're forgetting the fact that it will fucking die in a few days because it ain't built for the amazon in general, not the animals in it
Although I think that the Amazon climate would be a bit too warm for a grizzly bear to be comfortable in, l think they would immediately become the apex predator of that territory with very little serious competition.
I don't think they would make it for some reasons. 1. They would 100% struggle in the heat of the forest, imagine having a thick fur in a hot af place all year. 2. Its a very dense forest and preys are used to run from predators such as jaguars in the woods and into the rivers, I don't think bears would adapt to regularly catching agile sneaky animals in a dense forest. 3. There are tons of different tropical mosquitoes, parasites and diseases they would face.
I also think that, believe it or not, the bears would have some difficulty with the un-contacted tribes that live out there, and probably over time the tribes would learn how to deal with them like everything else there since contact between the two would be inevitable
@@ghostzero5919I think those are actually the least of their concerns. Not many people out there and they have primitive weapons. Go see what the Native Americans thought of them, they were unstoppable killing machines.
@@filipferencak2717There were native American tribes that hunted grizzly bears as a form of initiation or specialized in hunting them. But yeah they were still hard for them to take down.
Yeah in hard soil like the Americas its harder to make a trap big enough to a Bear but in the Amazon humididy Its no problem digging a hole and putting spikes with frog poison
@@filipferencak2717Native Americans did kill them though. Amazon natives use poison tipped darts and arrows that they extract from the poisonous species that live there. A grizzly that gets hit with several poison arrows will probably get taken down
As an HVAC guy, I chuckle every time you bring up relative humidity as a factor that makes them similar. The humidity is relative to how much the air can hold to begin with. Hotter air holds more moisture. For example, 36°F at 90% relative humidity has about the same amount of water in the air as 76°F with 20% relative humidity.
What If Grizzly's were introduced to Indian Jungels (Especially in Orissa, where there is Bengal Tiger, Saltwater Crocodile and Python), if possible please make a video on it.
@@JBoss44 I doubt if a silverback would have much of a chance. The grizzly has giant claws a thick hide and protective layer of fat, insane reflexes and weighs twice as much. Those are huge advantages.
There are bears in the Amazon rainforest. These bears are the species called the Andean bear and they are mostly limited to the western portion of the Amazon region which is close to the Andes mountains. The Andean bear is the only bear which is found in South America. A grizzly is not physically adapted to living in a rainforest. It may survive for a while, but it would not prosper. The rainforest would likely be too warm for their body type.
I'm from western canada, and would likely agree, esp for Canadian and Alaskan grizzly, however at one time grizzly bears were down in southern mexico so maybe not? Hard to say.
Brother, the environment alone would nerf the bear. What is it going to eat to stay at that size? The Amazon doesn’t have game as big as what bears eat in its current habitats. Bears aren’t cardio machines that stay hunting 24/7 365 days a year in the Amazon. There is NO winter. How will the bear bulk up and hibernate? How will it handle 100% humid days?! Insects, mosquitos, etc. that carry all kinds of disease would kill off many bears because those bugs don’t live in current grizzly habitats and the bear never built an immunity to its habitat. If the bear species would survive in the Amazon, they would be a lot smaller and agile compared to what a current grizzly is. Meaning the other predators in the Amazon would be able to kill it.
There are a ton of Grizzlies that live in the humid rainforest in Canadas west coast. Where it never snows, and is a literal rainforest, the bears would be fine.
Love this subject. I would love to see a similar video done on how well Komodo dragons would fair if introduced into the African savanna…? I’d love to know how well they’d deal with the wide range of predators there
Interesting they will survive as the climate is not too dissimilar. They will be able to hunt rabbits and other smaller prey but they will want to avoid the kangaroo. They will definitely want to avoid drinking water for too long at rivers, streams etc lest they get dragged down under the water like that unfortunate cheetah
You should ask some fanatical bear fanboys. Some are ridiculous enough to think a grizzly can defend itself against an adult Trex from one swipe to the rex's head
The heat and humidity will take the grizzlies out in Amazon. I think they can make it in the CA mountains/maybe the Mexican Sierra Madre but the Amazon? Impossible. Too hot, too dense, and too humid.
Idk, if they can take the desert in the SW US or northern Mexico they can take the Amazon. The video said the amazon is about 77 to 82°F.. That's less than 110°F and it has more water. Now some of the nastier water fauna might inconvenience them, but bears can take damage
It's not a predator, it's an omnivore. Brown Bears mostly eat berries, vegetation, honey, crabs etc. It wouldn't have to hibernate so it would be much smaller, like a Sun Bear.
@@berserker135 TF are you talking about? Brown Bears range in size from about 100 kgs to 500 kgs, and are a successful species all over the world. If there's enough to eat in the Amazon they'd thrive
Grizzly bears would be staying up during even the winter if they were to appear in the Amazon and would eat everything made of plants and meat. Now what about more animal battles like Grizzly Bear VS Anaconda, Hippopotamus, or even Komodo Dragon?
@@lordvader5158 it'd likely eventually die vs a Komodo due to injuries though. As far as Hippo it might stand a chance against it on land solo with a Ambush tactic, and with say a couple Grizzlies vs a Hippo well the odds change a lot. Grizzly is a lot more versatile of a animal
@@lordvader5158Probably? Lmao. You bear fanboys are the worst. Hmm, a 600lbs grizzly or a 5,500-6,000lb hippo. Must be tough to figure that out for you, huh? You probably don't even know how a bear hunts.
@@patg108Not even close, but ok fanboy. A bear has way less chances than a lion does. Bears are no where near agile enough to deal with a hippo. They're more agile than a hippo, but not enough to make a difference. Lions have a much more flexible spine, much greater vertical jumps, and much better weaponry.
Besides if a Bear did man age to maul a Hippo and eat in peace (not likely for the getting to enjoy the meal part) it'd have just what the average bear wants, a ton of meat and fat so it can hibernate with ease.
there have been jaguars in north america and met grizzlies and nothing has occurred, and cougars are afraid and coexist already in some places with bears and they just avoid them .....
The grizley would just migrate out of the Jungle towards the river mouth on the coast. Then eventually would migrate north towards colder climate. It wouldn't stick around the jungle very long.
The grizzly I seen in the yukon sunbathing on the road was big enough to whip a car with one paw no problem, you don't realize how big they are until your 50 feet away. The amazon would bend the knee to the grizzly.
Bears hibernate an adaptation to cold climates and food scarcity. I don't think those adaptations work well in a tropical climate and all that weight generates a lot of heat.
Kind of an exaggeration regarding climbing- juvenile bears climb, adult bears are generally too heavy, which puts too much pressure on their claws. The juvenile climb as a defense tactic, to avoid adult males. Big bear would rip out it's claws out trying to climb a tree because it's simply too heavy.
the hardest things to overcome for them would be climate and increase in venomous/poisonous animals and plants. it would be interesting to see a jaguar vs a grizzly but naturally i don't want two animals fighting solely to satisfy my curiosity.
Grizzly would grow to enormous sizes over time in a food rich environment like the Amazon. Lot of fish there. I’d also mention the interior of Alaska, which is where I live and is where grizzlies live gets 80’s/ 90’s in summer. And it’s very humid.
Don't forget that the Amazon Rain Forest also has some of the world's most venomous snakes on the planet. A bite from one of them like the bushmaster or the lancehead vipers and that could easily take down a grizzly bear.
Grizzly bears In central MT were mainly prairie animals for a long time, before they were pushed into the mountains in the early 1900s... bears didnt always live in the woods
Considering the vast majority of Grizzly Bears alive currently occupy a Rainforest, I doubt they would have much difficulty adapting to a different rainforest over time.

The video I didn't expect to see in my feed today. lol.
Grizzlies would overheat in the Amazon.
As an HVAC guy, I chuckle every time you bring up relative humidity as a factor that makes them similar. The humidity is relative to how much the air can hold to begin with. Hotter air holds more moisture. For example, 36°F at 90% relative humidity has about the same amount of water in the air as 76°F with 20% relative humidity.
What If Grizzly's were introduced to Indian Jungels (Especially in Orissa, where there is Bengal Tiger, Saltwater Crocodile and Python), if possible please make a video on it.
Grizzlies would probably enjoy a good butter chicken and garlic naan 🤤
Drop a grizzly bear in the Congo vs a silverback
@@JBoss44 I doubt if a silverback would have much of a chance. The grizzly has giant claws a thick hide and protective layer of fat, insane reflexes and weighs twice as much. Those are huge advantages.
There are bears in the Amazon rainforest. These bears are the species called the Andean bear and they are mostly limited to the western portion of the Amazon region which is close to the Andes mountains. The Andean bear is the only bear which is found in South America.
A grizzly is not physically adapted to living in a rainforest. It may survive for a while, but it would not prosper. The rainforest would likely be too warm for their body type.
I'm from western canada, and would likely agree, esp for Canadian and Alaskan grizzly, however at one time grizzly bears were down in southern mexico so maybe not? Hard to say.
There would be nothing for a grizzly to fear in the Amazon.
You clearly have no idea how large and orinoco crocodile can get to think that
@@Boss-ot1iy Bear is a lot more agile and would sever its spine. Only if a croc ambushed it in the water would it have a chance.
They would have something to fear If I lived in the Amazon. Now go make me a sandwich while you think about what I just told you.
A grizzly is just as deadly in the water and does not fear being submerged.
Brother, the environment alone would nerf the bear. What is it going to eat to stay at that size? The Amazon doesn’t have game as big as what bears eat in its current habitats. Bears aren’t cardio machines that stay hunting 24/7 365 days a year in the Amazon. There is NO winter. How will the bear bulk up and hibernate? How will it handle 100% humid days?! Insects, mosquitos, etc. that carry all kinds of disease would kill off many bears because those bugs don’t live in current grizzly habitats and the bear never built an immunity to its habitat. If the bear species would survive in the Amazon, they would be a lot smaller and agile compared to what a current grizzly is. Meaning the other predators in the Amazon would be able to kill it.
The grizzly bear can also hunt arapaima one the Amazon river's biggest fish which can grow up to 8 feet long and weigh 220 pounds
I'm pretty sure a grizzly bear would maul a caiman much like a jaguar
Right? Also a 300+lb Jaguar would be absurdly massive, and about 50% larger than usual. Whereas an Alaskan brown bear can easily be 1100+ pounds.
Dude I love this channel so much
I don't think they could stand the humidity and the heat. Simply is impossible I think
They will adapt no worries
There are a ton of Grizzlies that live in the humid rainforest in Canadas west coast. Where it never snows, and is a literal rainforest, the bears would be fine.
@@TR-lt4xc the Amazon is totally different you even study geography??
@@andresroelalvarado5943they have similar weather when it comes to being hot and humid.
9:00 The video literally spent a whole section explaining on why that probably wouldn't be a real issue...
Love this subject. I would love to see a similar video done on how well Komodo dragons would fair if introduced into the African savanna…? I’d love to know how well they’d deal with the wide range of predators there
Someone show Joe Rogan this video
If Grizzly Bears are on group they are unstoppable.
❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍
Bears got all the skill points in the creation menu. I can’t imagine living among them way back then.
What if cheetah were introduced to australia?
Interesting they will survive as the climate is not too dissimilar. They will be able to hunt rabbits and other smaller prey but they will want to avoid the kangaroo. They will definitely want to avoid drinking water for too long at rivers, streams etc lest they get dragged down under the water like that unfortunate cheetah
@@BoskiMcrocodiles are only in the north of Australia cheetahs will thrive
There would be no more cheetahs lol
There would be no more of them
Telling a grizzley he's got to watch that river is insane 😂😂😂
These bears can get over 1200 pounds
Not in that heat they won’t
Jesus I forget how fast they can be. It’s terrifying to think about a grizzly chasing you down.
Would Grizzly Bears survive the Cretaous period
You should ask some fanatical bear fanboys. Some are ridiculous enough to think a grizzly can defend itself against an adult Trex from one swipe to the rex's head
@@Boss-ot1iy And fanatical amazon fanboys are so stupid they think a jag or caiman could take a grizzly in a life or death struggle It goes both ways.
Bear can live in everywhere bro , they can Swim , Climb ,run fast , Strong , So Perfect 😂
The heat and humidity will take the grizzlies out in Amazon. I think they can make it in the CA mountains/maybe the Mexican Sierra Madre but the Amazon? Impossible. Too hot, too dense, and too humid.
Their coat would probably thin out
They probably would just weigh less too
@@brandonconforto315 I agree
Idk, if they can take the desert in the SW US or northern Mexico they can take the Amazon.
The video said the amazon is about 77 to 82°F.. That's less than 110°F and it has more water.
Now some of the nastier water fauna might inconvenience them, but bears can take damage
Not always but most times and also this time i agree with WildCiencias
too hot and too dense for a large predator like a grizzly
It's not a predator, it's an omnivore. Brown Bears mostly eat berries, vegetation, honey, crabs etc. It wouldn't have to hibernate so it would be much smaller, like a Sun Bear.
@@chalkandcheese1868 a small bear is a dead bear
@@berserker135small bear can still take down everything in the Amazon 😂
@@berserker135 TF are you talking about? Brown Bears range in size from about 100 kgs to 500 kgs, and are a successful species all over the world. If there's enough to eat in the Amazon they'd thrive
My thoughts exactly. With their thick fur and fat levels, the heat would be a nightmare for them.
Brown Bears, an absolutely beautiful & majestic tank.
Grizzly bears would be staying up during even the winter if they were to appear in the Amazon and would eat everything made of plants and meat. Now what about more animal battles like Grizzly Bear VS Anaconda, Hippopotamus, or even Komodo Dragon?
Grizzly easily beats the reptiles but probably loses to a hippo
@@lordvader5158 it'd likely eventually die vs a Komodo due to injuries though. As far as Hippo it might stand a chance against it on land solo with a Ambush tactic, and with say a couple Grizzlies vs a Hippo well the odds change a lot. Grizzly is a lot more versatile of a animal
@@lordvader5158Probably? Lmao. You bear fanboys are the worst. Hmm, a 600lbs grizzly or a 5,500-6,000lb hippo. Must be tough to figure that out for you, huh? You probably don't even know how a bear hunts.
@@patg108Not even close, but ok fanboy. A bear has way less chances than a lion does. Bears are no where near agile enough to deal with a hippo. They're more agile than a hippo, but not enough to make a difference. Lions have a much more flexible spine, much greater vertical jumps, and much better weaponry.
Besides if a Bear did man age to maul a Hippo and eat in peace (not likely for the getting to enjoy the meal part) it'd have just what the average bear wants, a ton of meat and fat so it can hibernate with ease.
Grizzly standing on all fours: almost as tall as a human
Also
Grizzly on all fours: better run!
Taller than most humans while standing
Grizzly bear in Africa?
Comida para los leones.
They will be eaten by the lions.. Solitary mammals can't survive in Africa
@@REYDELASBESTIAS2033Grizzly bear>>>>>>>>>>>5 lions
@@Betrukmangansegojamás 2 leones acaban con cualquier oso.
@@REYDELASBESTIAS2033nah bear is not that weak
relearned a lot more about bears than got any interesting information about what it would be like for them in the rainforest.
Bye bye Jaguar
And cougar
Not necessarily. I think the Jaguars would rarely cross paths with the bears.
there have been jaguars in north america and met grizzlies and nothing has occurred, and cougars are afraid and coexist already in some places with bears and they just avoid them .....
No the jaguar will still be there.
Grizzly vs Pack of Giant Otters...would be fascinating 😊
Next... Can hippos survive in the Amazon rainforest.
Possibly. Pablo Escobar's hippos in Colombia would tell you that.
It depends on one thing and one thing only. Are they hungry?
They'd probably enjoy bullying everyone..
They'd probably clean up that mess
Excellent video
3:40 that bear taking a massive piss lol
An electric eel may be a worrying threat, it can stun and kill Grizzly bear if attacked
Interesting video.
They’d become giant terrifying otters after a few decades
I’d love to see a grizzly vs one of those giant anacondas from the Amazon, just to see what would happen
Bear would use them as a rope 😁
It would destroy the Anaconda
I think the only shot the Anaconda has is probably in water and ambush
Even if you are a track star, the bear is relentless and you can't run through the marsh
The key is for you to be a trackstar, and make sure you're with friends that arent.
The grizley would just migrate out of the Jungle towards the river mouth on the coast. Then eventually would migrate north towards colder climate. It wouldn't stick around the jungle very long.
We are working on getting 20 male and 20 female polar bears moved to Antarctica. It should be quite a favorable outcome.
Bears are the largest terrestrial predators so they would survive but they wouldn't be comfortable
The grizzly I seen in the yukon sunbathing on the road was big enough to whip a car with one paw no problem, you don't realize how big they are until your 50 feet away. The amazon would bend the knee to the grizzly.
If it can't drop the excess fur, I think it would suffer various heat and skin issues.
300 lb slow moving snakes? They’d never be hungry again, least till forest ran out of snakes.
bro will chew on an electric eel straight…high confusion
The grizzly would get yoinked by the yoink man like every other animal
cringe
Ok. Now we need a large black caiman vs. Grizzly
I wonder why he didn't mention the grizzley bear vs anaconda he the anacondas out of the discussion
Awesome narration.
for 7 months he would eat as much as he could preparing for hibernation and than died from overheating because winter never came
yeah I would bet a bear can run at top pace for longer than any sprinter can
I like how the second picture of the electric eel was actually a moray eel
The Grizzy has nothing to fear in the Amazon Rainforest, it can easily face off with a jaguar
There are poisonous snakes and frogs but the humidity is probably the biggest issue.
@@almac9203Bears doesnt even catch the snakes in America imagine they walking in the Forest and sudenly getting bit
@@almac9203 Yep, I'm from the west coast of canada, and have been to brazil (carnaval) and the amazon. The amazon is mofo for heat and humidity lol.
@@Nightmare-go7kf bears and snakes coexist around the world, why would it be different in the amazon?
@@harrycooper5231 theres Bears in australia? If dont then you know the reason
Can you imagine the size of these bears with unlimited food year round
Bears hibernate an adaptation to cold climates and food scarcity. I don't think those adaptations work well in a tropical climate and all that weight generates a lot of heat.
3:43 They really should change the saying to "I gotta piss like a Grizzly Bear".
Can a bear tell the difference between a good berry and a poisonous one?
Yes otherwise they would be extinct by now
Kind of an exaggeration regarding climbing- juvenile bears climb, adult bears are generally too heavy, which puts too much pressure on their claws. The juvenile climb as a defense tactic, to avoid adult males. Big bear would rip out it's claws out trying to climb a tree because it's simply too heavy.
False
That's not true.
the hardest things to overcome for them would be climate and increase in venomous/poisonous animals and plants.
it would be interesting to see a jaguar vs a grizzly but naturally i don't want two animals fighting solely to satisfy my curiosity.
Grizzly would grow to enormous sizes over time in a food rich environment like the Amazon. Lot of fish there. I’d also mention the interior of Alaska, which is where I live and is where grizzlies live gets 80’s/ 90’s in summer. And it’s very humid.
I think the climate would impact the bear's hibernation cycle affecting its body composition.
I actually googled whether huckleberry is a real fruit or you just joking about hack finn 😂
lol I doubt a bear has nightmares about the Amazon. Plenty of animals, bugs and roots and plant . Monkeys would probably piss a bear off though 😂
Swim, climb, run and strong bite! Grizzley would easily be King in that environment
It's super not fair for something this aberrantly dangerous to be as cute as it is.
I think something must be stopping them from spreading south since they've had so much time to go there.
Don't forget that the Amazon Rain Forest also has some of the world's most venomous snakes on the planet. A bite from one of them like the bushmaster or the lancehead vipers and that could easily take down a grizzly bear.
Bears around the world live with poisonous snakes without problem.
Grizzly bears In central MT were mainly prairie animals for a long time, before they were pushed into the mountains in the early 1900s... bears didnt always live in the woods
If a grizzly chases me, I guarantee that i’d run faster than Usain Bolt
Considering the vast majority of Grizzly Bears alive currently occupy a Rainforest, I doubt they would have much difficulty adapting to a different rainforest over time.
