The life of a grizzly bear, from cub to a mama bear!

- Going back to when I was volunteering to the last day I worked ( Sept 30, 2019) with this bear management program in Alberta, there was one really special bear. In 2011, she was born, and every year there after I was responsible for steering her out of trouble and keeping her on the landscape. In 2018 as a seven year old, she emerged with two young of the year cubs, becoming the first bear that went from cub to a mom under my watch. She was a unique bear with a huge personality, with a lot of sass. She was the first grizzly I was involved on the immobilization and collaring. She was known as GB# 139!
This is a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing wonderful real life journeys with us!
Thanks for watching!
What an amazing video! Brought so much joy to watch a beautiful bear’s life journey. May God bless & protect all the wildlife so they can coexist peacefully with humans forever. Amen
So great to be able to follow along with her life, thank you so much for making this video and sharing with us. I may never get to see a live grizzly bear, so this was special.
I'm glad you enjoyed this video, not sure if you watched any of the others, but I was able to get great footage of unique bear behavior, and it's great when it's appreciated. Thank you!
@@TheBearGuyCanada Yes I’ve watched others , but need to watch them all!💯💯💯🤗🤗🤗🐻🐻🐻

Watch all the others! They are ALL brilliant!
All these videos of yours are superb! Thank you so much for sharing them.
Glad you like them!
Thank you for uploading this very very educational video.
I am going to share this video with my daughter.
This is the best video I have ever seen about the Grizzly.
And all the other videos by 'The Bear Guy' are equally as good - professional and informative. Well worth watching every one - AND subscribing!
I love to watch them in the wild! It,s thearapudic !!!
Awesome heritage.
It sure is!
I wonder how you know it's her year after year lol Love the vdo, thank you for sharing!
You get to know them, certain markings, their personalities, their home ranges. Even when the bear isn't marked with a tag or collar you can recognize them from year to year, even if you haven't seen them in a few seasons. I also kept a video/pic reference sheet of bears I consistently worked, as you can see by this video.
@@TheBearGuyCanada Thank you for your answer!
What a wonderful video! She is a lucky lady. Do you mind to make a video for poor 148? I really miss her.
I only got to work 148 for a few hours, she stayed north of where I was.
@@TheBearGuyCanada 👍👍👍
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow that’s amazing
Gosh, female bears have such a ridiculously hard life, compared to males! They don’t have cubs every year, but they have to _care_ for cubs every year. Then they get a break with a few months to themselves to mate and fatten up to do it all over again! AND they have to be constantly vigilant to keep their cubs away from males who decide their desire to mate far surpasses the mother’s instinct and need to keep her cubs alive, which forced her own sister into a terrifying and difficult solitary life as a yearling! I guess mothers of all mammalian species have it rough in one way or another, including human mothers! At least some of us have good fathers for husbands, as I do, which isn’t too common in my circle of relatives and friends.
Wow, the yearling has really stacked on the pounds, and she is fast. It doesn’t make sense to me, because if I gain weight I become slower. They are amazing!! I’m sure the slowest and sickest bear can outrun me! I would love to see one in the wild!
I have seen bears that you can hear them coming because they are so fat. Than they see another bear and the chase is on, spring, summer, fall, skinny or fat.....they can haul butt. People see them doddling along and think they can't move, they can.
Bear Guy. Several questions if you don’t mind. First, Where do you do this research? Secondly, do they hibernate in the same den every year and lastly, how long does the batteries last on their collars? Thanks so much for sharing, I love your videos!
I was part of a bear management program in southern Alberta. They tend to den is same area, but not usually in the same den. This female in the video liked to den a lot on a stretch of a mountain range, but then had a few sporadic locations. Her mom though, denned in same location each year, but not in same dens, I meant to hike in but is was going to be a trek. The batteries vary, and is one of my pet peeves. The GPS, upload their info all the time, therefore the battery is sucked dry, lasting a year only in many cases, meaning more handling of the same bear. Whereas the VHF collars, which only send out a beep last 5-7 years, and is all we go off of in the field. I love seeing the data online, it's very interesting, but if it meant having to capture and handle the same bears yearly, I'd sooner use the VHF.
@@TheBearGuyCanada so is there a link online that shows the bears travels throughout the year?
@@andywhite9932 , no, that information would not be good in the hands of the general public, the bears hardly get a break now, being followed by tourists dawn to dusk for pictures.
@@TheBearGuyCanada thos makes the life of fish and wildlife in Kananaskis a daily episode of Yogi Bear.
I would love to see more people fined for harassing wildlife.
I make the upmost effort to avoid grizzles on hikes and keep an eye and ear out for them in other areas while hunting and being quiet. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to spot a grizz during a hunt and have the opportunity to quietly retreat without disturbing her.
@@TheBearGuyCanada Thanks.
What bear is this?
4:43 oh I didn’t know sub-adults partnered up with each other. I thought they are solitary animal.
Curious to know if the female sibling that got chased off after the first year reproduced earlier/later than 139? Any difference in the survival rates of their first litters? One wonders on the social impacts on survival, with animals as smart and long-lived as bears.
And how common is it to see siblings from different years partner up like 139 did with her younger brother? I'm sure all bears in a range know each other but can't recall having seen that in any documentary I've watched.
The female chased off, GB# 127, she was actually tagged with an ear transmitter when mom was processed and fitted with a new collar, they didn't with 139 at the time in 2012, not till 2013. 127 was seen after the separation but her transmitter immediately failed. In 2013 after the Alberta floods, 139 was caught and fitted with an ear tag transmitter, than released. Within a week there was another bear in the trap, but with a quick look they saw a small two year old, same size with same hardware, and thought they had got 139 again, so they open the door and released her, only than realizing it was 127. After that she became invisible, wondering if she survived or not. Years later, when 139 had cubs a female was allowed to get really close and feed, about same size and age. This was at the extreme end of 139's area, it is possible this was 127 but without DNA, can't confirm.
Survival rate really varies from the first litters to later on in a female's life, bears are not great mom's on the first few and need to figure things out. 139's mother is a huge cub producer but has huge mortality rate,
'09, had cub and lost it
'10, had a cub, skirmish with another female, cub's spine severed.
'11, had 3, lost one coy, lost 127 as yearling, 139 survived
'14, had 3, lost one early, lost yearling July 1/15, surviving cub shot in BC in ''17
'17, had 3, male encouraged dispersal of 2 y/o cubs, 1 killed, 2 survived
'20, had 2, lost one early, still has the one .
You will see family reunions time to time, but usually from the same litter. But it's not uncommon for juvenile bears to partner up as they have no status or rank in the bear world, they haven't reached breeding maturity.
nice video.. bud very painfull for my side. The one cub is dead cause by a male bear.. and she was alone .. 🥺
What is a sub-adult? I feel stupid. Thanks
It's the point where cubs are booted from mom till the point they reach sexual maturity.
What's the average life span of a Bear?
25 in the wild.
@@TheBearGuyCanada thank you
