Real smart, have groups of people on either side of a Grizzly with cubs. Damn lucky you didn't get mauled, that bear must have just had the best meal of it's life prior to seeing you.
Especially the ones sitting or laying down who couldn't get away if they needed to. Seems stupid to me. Then when they get attacked or killed, you only see headlines about a "Bear Mauling" not how they were provoked or their territory invaded by a group of dummies. It's always the vicious bear. Never the dumbass humans fault. Here's their sign ?
FuckGoogle+ Got what he deserved? He didn't do anything bad to deserve death. Was he asking for it? Sure. But didn't deserve it. Btw, where did you hear the audio tape? I've never heard it, the woman who had it apparently destroyed it.

I had a similar encounter at the Denali Nationalpark 25 years ago. Bears are not aggressive - when they know you are there, minding your own business, they do not care about you to much. There was an airstrip close by, so the bears have likely seen humans before. Also, the video was shot in midst of july, salmon season just started, there is plenty of food, that is much more nutritious than humans.
experts ) heard something once, now must use it at any opportunity! We frighten bears off only in places where is danger for them! In most cases they shouldn't feel threat from us, thats what is normal!
There not even room for argument....they are WAY to close. The group was in danger and some could have been seriously hurt at any moment. Of course, the bear would have been blamed......
OMG I would of been s g in my pants! :o) Nature is so beautiful close up & thank you for sharing! Her claws are MASSIVE! I kept looking at the adorable cubs saying to myself " keep going I do not want any trouble with your momma."
Aren’t the statistical odds of living if you’re within 50 feet of a bear with 2 cubs something like ZERO?? “Let’s scootch over guys, give her some room” lol what?? if I’d be giving her anything it would be Betty.
after it passes and it turns around.......that's the moment when you're lucky as heck. That's when she thought about just killing everyone....but decided it's not worth it.
Worst part is, if these idiots caused an attack with their stupid moves or sounds, and some died, this beautiful mama bear would have been put down, and the cubs, due to lack of care, would have to go with her.
Cub: "Mom, they're pointing something at us." Mom: "Is it long and thin, or short and fat?" Cub: "Umm. . . The second one, I guess. . . And now one of them is pointing it at her own face-" Mom: "Tourists. They're not dangerous. Just annoying enough to prove that evolution is a lie." Honestly, the more stuff like this I see, the more convinced I am that all the animals in the wild think humanity is actually a bunch of different sub-species. Cub: "Aren't those humans?" Mom: "Yes, but it's only the hunter humans we fear. Those are tourist humans. And we're safe in proximity to them. They're annoying as all Hell, yes, but that's what keeps the hunter humans away from here."
Aragiss well it not really "safe" i dont think they where trying to get that close but when a bear is coming close to you the best thing to do is stand there. cuz if you run or freak out its not gonna end well
CrAzY SaSqUaTcH Someone in the group should have seen that bear from hundreds of meters away and moved well away from the beach. It's a huge animal, can't miss it ;)
Not really. Bears in that area know humans are not a threat. The ONLY people in that park that are armed are the Rangers, the rest of pepper spray. Bears are not hunted there, and the bears know this. As long as you don't make yourself a threat, the bear will leave you alone. They remained calm, didn't act stupid or tried to threaten the bear. You will notice that the bear didn't act threatening towards the humans, made sure that her cubs were on the other side of her. Most bears wont care if there is a human around. It's when someone makes a move towards her that things go bad. Bears don't go around attacking humans for no good reason. They don't want to spend the energy doing that. The park has about 80,000 people every year and there has only been one minor incident. Timothy Treadwell ignored the Ranger and wasn't even where this bear was. Understanding bear language is one of the best ways to avoid conflict. A bear rearing up on its hind legs is not preparing to devour hikers, it is simply getting a better perspective on what kind of bi-pedal, lime-green-polar fleece-wearing creature is approaching. Avoid eye contact and back away slowly while speaking loudly, but calmly. Do not run, bears like many animals, will instinctively chase fleeing creatures, including humans. If you back away calmly and give the bear its space, more than likely it will make a hasty retreat. Almost every single Ranger in Denali, Katmai, and Glacier say the same thing.
"stop copypasting comments" That's all Leijona Oneiroi can do all day long in his wheelchair - his legs were bitten off by a bear couple of years ago ...
G C Tf? Everyone advanced at relatively the same pace. There were no cavemen while Egyptians were ruling, there were no Neanderthals while caliphate rose.
357lockdown And are you assuming the elderly lady is saved and knows the Lord? What if she wasn't, was shredded up only to awaken in hell? You need to repent and call upon Jesus Christ for salvation yourself!
Are you serious? I was joking about the old lady. I don't know if she believes in the same superstitious bullshit that you do. I "need to repent"? You need to step into the real world and forget that man made crap that you believe in. I was once like you, living in a fairytale world...worshipping some big guy in the sky. Then I woke up.
No you are not the only one who noticed it, it bothered me slightly. However, it seemed to me to be a normal emotional reaction to what was essentially a deadly encounter for many people. They were too uninformed to realize the danger they were in until it passed. That is how I view it.
Almost as annoying as some moron(@Juan Z) making it a race thing. Bet you have a shit ton of other brilliant comments out there in the ether. Dirty Sanchez nailed it.
Hamish Sutherland exit strategy? you think you can outrun the bear :P. They carry bear spray but didn't seem in any immediate danger. If a bear is threatened it will give off warnings first by by barking are growling or showing some kind of aggressive behaviour.
One swipe would have taken out the mom leaving two more swipes for the other two. Then the state would come in and shoot the sow and we would have cute videos on how the cubs are being hand fed. Reminds me of when the kayakers get right on top of the whales all the time. Aren't there Federal laws to maintain a certain distance? How clueless was the women looking into the camera. That's not Winnie the phooh.
I couldn’t tell but it looks like at 0:50 or so it started smacking its jaw, which is a sign of agitation. I don’t think these people know how lucky they were. I am assuming the sheer number of people is what prevented an attack, and no one moved suddenly but even still lucky.

Notice the first phrase Understanding bear language...that's how you can tell this bear wasn't worried about the humans. It appears to me that you might be someone who just automatically jumps to conclusions without actually knowing anything.
"Bears in that area know humans are not a threat." Wow, how do you know, do you send bears in the area a shot survey every month or something? This is just stupid, these are wild animals, they don't "know", they use their instinct and react to the environment. What if one of the humans can not keep their cool and starts running, or one of the bear cubs runs towards the humans? You have a powerful and not fully predictable wild animal, that can kill all of these idiots in seconds, especially with the bears cubs around as well.
Bears usually avoid large groups of people, but it seems that mother bear had no natural fear for humans. Otherwise it wouldn't have gotten so close with her cubs. Dangerous situation nevertheless.
Normally people don’t get that close to grizzly bears would u say all those people have no natural sense of fear of the bear. They just knew not to fuck with her, Maybe the bear was intelligent to know not to fuck with them
If you ever do visit Alaska, don't be like these people. Bears are much faster than they look, and if they do decide to go after you it's not going to be pretty.
Humans are not as slow as you think. Humans evolved to be endurance hunters and successful ones at that. Marathons where people, even those who are considered geriatric, run twenty miles or more by training to do so. Basically practice. No other animal is capable or physiologically built to do this. Almost any human can take advantage of this evolutionary adaptation if they choose to.
Yeah a human could have a good shot in a marathon against a bear. But if you're on a beach next to a mother and her cubs, you're going to lose if she charges, regardless of your amazing endurance.
Everyone in this video should be thankful they're still alive. That was an unbelievably amazing and just as dangerous of a bear encounter a human can have. Thank you for sharing!
+SamScareCrow They acted correctly according to the situation they found themselves in. Animals, just like dogs often pick up your intentions. If they would have started to run away in panic, the bear would probably be unsettled and put her guard up. As the guy mentioned in the beginning, just relax and leave her room to pass by. The bear didn't identify the tourist as threats to begin with, that's why she walked towards them, she would never bring her cubs towards them otherwise. But as you say though, you don't want to startle a bear with cubs. But I don't think they were lucky, that's a word I wouldn't use.
Although mama Bear looked relaxed, she could’ve in a split second switched to attack mode, Bears are unpredictable to say the least You can see her at 0:50 doing that move with her jaws, Bears do that chomping move when they get nervous, that’s an aggressive move and shows that she was actually thinking about it.
@@littlebird8837 I just can’t believe what I just saw! Those people got luckier than hitting the Mega Millions and Powerball on the same week! They just don’t know.
can't cure stupid. especially when they kept clicking that camera, thankfully the clicking didn't scare the cubs or it would have been a whole different ending to this video
Don't try to explain complex or complicated to a liberal. In her own little world she believes those people were in great danger because bears don't like white people.
In the end it would have been the bear doing the filming: talking about how the situation was so crazy and how she and her Cubs ended up with the camera.
Telling people that a wild animal like a bear is less dangerous than a DOMESTIC dog is wildly irresponsible. Every animal has the potential to snap, and just because you follow the proper procedure does not make you completely safe. This is especially true when offspring are involved
Possibly not intelligent to keep clicking the camera! Oh! Let’s p**s off the huge Momma Grizzly even more by taking pictures of her babies and making strange noises!!
Clicking is nothing, the bear might think, those are the sounds humans are making, BUT if they accidentally turn flash on, bear and her cubs could be startled, leading them to even higher percentage of becoming a pretty finger-lickin' good meatloaf for the whole family!
I am speechless. Most reckless thing I have ever seen. Grizzly bear mothers, with cubs are about the most dangerous thing walking around. That could have gone very bad, very fast.
Thats a brown bear, the coastal river version of the grizzly. They are very chill because they don't compete for food like the skinner inland grizzlies do. Let alone the fact that this is a tourist location so these bears are very used to people. But this is also a fact about all bears. They will not charge into a group of people, it's not like in movies where they're just mindless raging machines that don't care how much they get hurt. They'll only take fights they can reasonably win with little to no injuries. It's not going to charge into a group of humans or a couple moose or a herd of caribou, they just won't.
tbh i highly doubt ...just cause all we heard was the sound of a camera doesn't mean thats all they were packing...anyone who ventures where they know there is bears will have bear spray and guns....and if you think these people going "awesome" wouldn't immediately shoot that mother in the face if she acts out...you're mistaken
Sprint Rollingon ARE GUYS STUPID THESE comments omfg. FIRST THE BEAR DECIDED TO GET CLOSE . She felt no threat because she came close. THE PEOPLE DIDNT GET CLOSE TO THE BEAR. The problem comes when u invade its space not the other way around. She didnt even care about the humans. They were in no danger what so ever
@@willnot3297 I mean these people didn’t do anything wrong. They just remained calm and the bears knew they weren’t a threat. These bears are so confident around people, mother bears have sometimes left their cubs near people while they go get food, as they expect the humans to provide great protection.
Super happy those lil ones were well behaved. If just 1 would have been a bit more curious to come closer it would definetly ended in The Revenant part 2 Beach Edition!
These people really don't understand what their dealing with, especially considering the cubs. The smallest gesture or sound can cause a mother to attack while guarding its young. Videos like this give the wrong impression to people on the correct attitude toward wild Grizzly/Brown bears. Should NEVER allow yourself to get this close by choice.
Yes, all it can take is a video to make them look approachable (like this clip). Next time you never know, someone may even attempt to pat one on the head, without being fully aware of what a bear is capable of doing.
That bear can out run, out swim and out climb the fitest humans on this planet. When you see a bear approaching on the horizon you should get very much out of the way. Fools with a capital F
Are you sure brown bears can climb at all? I know black bears are excellent climbers, but she looks way to heavy for climbing. On the other hand, climbing wouldnt be an option in this case^^
ok bud, go watch some bears attacking human videos and you'll see how violently unpredictable and spontaneous a bear can be,. especially if they get startled
Actually Bears don't give a crap who you are. These people did the right thing. They didn't bother her, didn't cause her to think they were a threat to her or her cubs. Goes to show how little you know of bears. I have been fishing with bears, and I would say 99% of the time, if you don't bother them, they wont bother you.
they made everything right, so you are fool with small f ) she is going very calm! In situation when so many people around - nobody moves, shes a mother, any movement in such situation can trigger her! Especially because they were sitting, standing up in this particular case could be a mistake!
I love the people's reaction, like "All cool! We got to see a massive mama bear with her cubs up close!". In reality, more like Mama bear didn't perceive you as a threat and as such did not destroy your faces and rip you to shreds.
+Dinoxt12 What do you think they should have done? Obviously they didn't expect to run into a bear, and once the bear is around the best thing to do is stay put and not do anything to alarm it.
+Dinoxt12 they acted correctly, kept calm and didnt move.......... please educate yourself, information is as easy to find on the internet as posting crud
+Rabbi Shlomo Shekelberg-Rubingoldstein The lady herself said @ 1:02 it was a "Bear Trip". Of course they expected to see bears...that was their objective! I'm quite sure they saw the bear long before this video began filming it. Yeah, people go out all the time in places like that to experience the bears...but they know to stay a far distance away and not invite an attack. So like Dinoxt12 said, they were rather brainless, and also lucky they didn't get killed. Female bears with cubs are by far the most dangerous and likely to attack, whether you've being still or not! You can lie down and play dead and they'll still attack. They don't have to have cubs either to decide to attack...remember, to a hungry bear YOU are on the menu!
@@austindenotter19 So humans cant go out and explore? The greatest inventions and discoveries were all because people went out and explored. Jesus christ.
This group filming saw the bear coming from far away, so they could have moved away, but instead, they stayed on the bear's path, and you could tell the bear wasn't comfortable. It turned around to make sure that the guignol was not following them.
this is beyond insanity and pure ignorance. Look at the claws on the mother Grizzly. I don't care who the "expert" guide is and I don't care how many years he's been conducting these outings, and I don't care if he's never had an incident. The "guide" has no control over the behavior of a top apex predator and making matters even more dangerous, this idiot is jeopardizing the entire group by having them so close to the cubs. Anyone thinking they know wild animals should research Siegfried and Roy's white tiger cub Montalban they raised from birth. They thought they knew everything too. We just witnessed Death passing by this group
Yeah let's stay in momma bear's path to have a reaction selfie. Nothing bad would ever happen. Now I see why bear attacks are on the rise, people have gotten fucking STUPID. It's almost like they are offering themselves back up to nature on its selection list.
I mean do you think a bear wouldn't change its path if it actually saw the humans as a threat? It probably realistically saw them move out of its path, acknowledged that and continued on straight.
iYeti, Best Support NA I think the point is that they were on both sides of the bear, if i had uncommon animals on both sides of me in my environment, i would be a little more nervous for my kids. People know that bears are crazy, this one is most likely used to tourists and sees them as no threat. however that doesnt make it any less stupid or risky. I speak from experience, I once made the mistake of crossing a path with Volibear IN his jungle. Let me tell you that it did not end well for me :P
Not a bear-human relations expert, but I think the key distinctions between this very close encounter with a mother bear and her cubs and more eventful instances (besides what some others have commented about this particular National Park, Katmai, hosting bears that are used to human presence, which I have no comment on) are that here: (1) it would seem the mother bear was continuously very aware of the humans presence from a long distance/time leading up to this, due to clear line-of-sight environment (2) the mother freely, pretty calmly (some chewing motions but no grunts) walked in the direction of the humans, of all possible directions she could choose to walk in, _with her cubs_ mind you. (3) the humans were relatively numerous and more densely packed into a group (less worth the bears energy and perceived safety to antagonize preemptively), and (4) the humans safely stayed put as and after the bears approached and importantly did not approach the bears at any time (the one lady shouldn't have elevated herself to look into the camera imo tho). Had the humans suddenly moved location/walked in a way that seemed like an advance to the bear, or the cubs by extremely bad luck investigated them, disaster was more likely, but none of that happened. This is all to refute a lot of the simplistic comments that confidently state how 'totally stupid' these people apparently are for 'getting that close to a mother bear and her cubs'. The only stupid things were the people splitting into two opposite groups for the bear to pay attention to, potentially making it feel more cornered, and the light chatter/camera noises. Almost all bear attacks on humans who are not literally hunting/chasing bears (they get what's coming to them as a risk) happen because the human (or humanS; though they're probably usually disparate enough to be seen as smaller single threats) has unknowingly or foolishly advanced on and so threatened the bear, since bears do NOT hunt humans, and then failed to do the proper defensive bear safety protocol. The victims in those scenarios are also likely up and moving around up until they see the bear/her cubs and/or the bear sees them, which comes as a sudden surprise to either party at what is now deemed a threatening distance to the bear, filling the encounter with much additional stress and uncertainty for both parties. None of that happens in this video.
Love it how people and nature can just co-exist sometimes. Like here, where the bears just mind their own business and the people keep to themselves, keeping peace between groups and allowing 'deadly closeups' like this, to be possible with no real fear for safety. Now had the cubs wandered to the humans, there might've been a different story. But you never know.
It is a wonderful video with the exception of the woman who felt she was more important than those bears. If you have the need to stick your face in the photos when something this magical is taking place, then just stay home and take pictures of yourself.
Those are coastal brown bears. They are pretty docile. There is plenty of fish. So the adults don't get to snacking on the kiddos. Trying doing that to inland grizzly mamas. Unfortunately someone is going to that and dye after watching this. They should take this video down. Not a good idea to get close to grizzly mamas.
One FART, one tiny thing to cause that mama-bear to think there is a threat to her cubs, and that bear would have attacked violently and killed at least one of them, if not more. Provided they'd be foolish enough to be in BIG bear country without a BIG-bore rifle! They all looked death right in the face (never look a bear in the eyes!) that day.
Their back up plan was Betty.
Suzzanne Stofko I’ve never laughed at a comment harder lmao

That was a very gentle Mamma bear to let you on her beach and that close to her cubs. That surely is a once in a lifetime event. very cool

Not really. Bears in that area know humans are not a threat. The ONLY people in that park that are armed are the Rangers, the rest of pepper spray. Bears are not hunted there, and the bears know this. As long as you don't make yourself a threat, the bear will leave you alone. They remained calm, didn't act stupid or tried to threaten the bear. You will notice that the bear didn't act threatening towards the humans, made sure that her cubs were on the other side of her. Most bears wont care if there is a human around. It's when someone makes a move towards her that things go bad. Bears don't go around attacking humans for no good reason. They don't want to spend the energy doing that. The park has about 80,000 people every year and there has only been one minor incident. Timothy Treadwell ignored the Ranger and wasn't even where this bear was.
Understanding bear language is one of the best ways to avoid conflict. A bear rearing up on its hind legs is not preparing to devour hikers, it is simply getting a better perspective on what kind of bi-pedal, lime-green-polar fleece-wearing creature is approaching. Avoid eye contact and back away slowly while speaking loudly, but calmly. Do not run, bears like many animals, will instinctively chase fleeing creatures, including humans. If you back away calmly and give the bear its space, more than likely it will make a hasty retreat. Almost every single Ranger in Denali, Katmai, and Glacier say the same thing.

that's not a family. that's some low intelligence food, designed to be eaten by bears. Hope it happens someday
In a situation like that, one should always run up to one of the cubs and start petting it - to show momma that you are friendly.
Give it a bear hug!
Yes and pick it up when ur petting it
Lots of sudden movements.
Cubs enjoy a little roughhousing
Sorry Grandma, you're gonna have to take one for the team while we RUNNNNN!
MsThylacine lmao
@@jonathandiaz5922 ; I dont have to out run the bear, I just gotta out run grandma!
Now I can collect on that life insurance.
If you run, you're screwed. Mama bear will slice granny then come after you
They weren't worried of the bear as they knew they had the old lady to act as bait if the bear was to attack
yes but would the old lady make an effective shield?
Ann Heron--- Right! They don't have to outrun the bear, they just have to outrun grandma.
LOL.. at least the old lady would have slowed the bear down for the few seconds it took to tear her to shreds.
357lockdown And are you assuming the elderly lady is saved and knows the Lord? What if she wasn't, was shredded up only to awaken in hell? You need to repent and call upon Jesus Christ for salvation yourself!
Are you serious? I was joking about the old lady. I don't know if she believes in the same superstitious bullshit that you do. I "need to repent"? You need to step into the real world and forget that man made crap that you believe in. I was once like you, living in a fairytale world...worshipping some big guy in the sky. Then I woke up.
Was I the only one annoyed by the lady popping up in front of the camera making weird faces ?
Alejandra Tejeda white people lol what do you expect
No you are not the only one who noticed it, it bothered me slightly. However, it seemed to me to be a normal emotional reaction to what was essentially a deadly encounter for many people. They were too uninformed to realize the danger they were in until it passed. That is how I view it.
@@Juan_deep more like rich trash, paying that dumb tourist-guide alot of money to get that close.
Almost as annoying as some moron(@Juan Z) making it a race thing. Bet you have a shit ton of other brilliant comments out there in the ether. Dirty Sanchez nailed it.
Stupidity knows no bounds.
Cub: “Who are those strange creatures staring at us, Mommy?”
Momma Bear: “Tourists, son. Keep it moving.”
"Smile and wave boys smile and wave"
Momma Bear: Don't worry kids, they're more afraid of us than we are of them.
It’s just not funny
She`s like: "ok, kids. These creatures cant do shit to us. Just relax"
what exactly was the exit strategy there?
Hamish Sutherland exit strategy? you think you can outrun the bear :P. They carry bear spray but didn't seem in any immediate danger. If a bear is threatened it will give off warnings first by by barking are growling or showing some kind of aggressive behaviour.
what if it's not threatened but just impulsively feels like a snack?
Nome Sobrenome yes by the looks of it , Betty about ten years ago😂
just get slowly deep in the water. The bear would know that you were not a threat.
Simple answer to this one: wait for the bear to have a bowel movement.
As long as I can run faster than Betty I'm good.
Lmaooooooo
Had one of those cubs strayed over to check them out, it would have been game over.
I was secretly wishing that. Oops not a secret anymore.
Game over for the bear. I’m sure these guides are armed
@@kylebradley7751 exactly. so why put both the bear and humans in harms way. it's just really dumb to do this
Kevin Schart Yea we should all just stay in our homes and not go out and enjoy what Mother Nature has to offer. Stupid snowflake
One swipe would have taken out the mom leaving two more swipes for the other two. Then the state would come in and shoot the sow and we would have cute videos on how the cubs are being hand fed. Reminds me of when the kayakers get right on top of the whales all the time. Aren't there Federal laws to maintain a certain distance? How clueless was the women looking into the camera. That's not Winnie the phooh.
I couldn’t tell but it looks like at 0:50 or so it started smacking its jaw, which is a sign of agitation. I don’t think these people know how lucky they were. I am assuming the sheer number of people is what prevented an attack, and no one moved suddenly but even still lucky.
I noticed the same thing
No, you’re exactly right. That wasn’t cool that was stupid. A lot of shots. Betty, how was that? Fuck atta here.
Not really. Bears in that area know humans are not a threat. The ONLY people in that park that are armed are the Rangers, the rest of pepper spray. Bears are not hunted there, and the bears know this. As long as you don't make yourself a threat, the bear will leave you alone. They remained calm, didn't act stupid or tried to threaten the bear. You will notice that the bear didn't act threatening towards the humans, made sure that her cubs were on the other side of her. Most bears wont care if there is a human around. It's when someone makes a move towards her that things go bad. Bears don't go around attacking humans for no good reason. They don't want to spend the energy doing that. The park has about 80,000 people every year and there has only been one minor incident. Timothy Treadwell ignored the Ranger and wasn't even where this bear was.
Understanding bear language is one of the best ways to avoid conflict. A bear rearing up on its hind legs is not preparing to devour hikers, it is simply getting a better perspective on what kind of bi-pedal, lime-green-polar fleece-wearing creature is approaching. Avoid eye contact and back away slowly while speaking loudly, but calmly. Do not run, bears like many animals, will instinctively chase fleeing creatures, including humans. If you back away calmly and give the bear its space, more than likely it will make a hasty retreat. Almost every single Ranger in Denali, Katmai, and Glacier say the same thing.
Notice the first phrase Understanding bear language...that's how you can tell this bear wasn't worried about the humans. It appears to me that you might be someone who just automatically jumps to conclusions without actually knowing anything.
"Bears in that area know humans are not a threat."
Wow, how do you know, do you send bears in the area a shot survey every month or something?
This is just stupid, these are wild animals, they don't "know", they use their instinct and react to the environment.
What if one of the humans can not keep their cool and starts running, or one of the bear cubs runs towards the humans?
You have a powerful and not fully predictable wild animal, that can kill all of these idiots in seconds, especially with the bears cubs around as well.
@@JC-XL Try reading up on Katmai and the salmon season before making smart ass comments. Maybe you'll learn something.
Bears usually avoid large groups of people, but it seems that mother bear had no natural fear for humans. Otherwise it wouldn't have gotten so close with her cubs. Dangerous situation nevertheless.
Normally people don’t get that close to grizzly bears would u say all those people have no natural sense of fear of the bear. They just knew not to fuck with her, Maybe the bear was intelligent to know not to fuck with them
@@pastorhaze9509 I don’t think that’s a grizzly, but I may be corrected
If you ever do visit Alaska, don't be like these people. Bears are much faster than they look, and if they do decide to go after you it's not going to be pretty.
Bears are extremely fast, much faster than humans. Actually, short of turtles and sloth, not too many animals are slower than humans!
they run faster, swim faster and climb faster than human.
That's right. Also, National Park rules say bears have the right-of-way, and humans are expected to stay at least 50 yards from a bear.
Humans are not as slow as you think. Humans evolved to be endurance hunters and successful ones at that. Marathons where people, even those who are considered geriatric, run twenty miles or more by training to do so. Basically practice. No other animal is capable or physiologically built to do this. Almost any human can take advantage of this evolutionary adaptation if they choose to.
Yeah a human could have a good shot in a marathon against a bear. But if you're on a beach next to a mother and her cubs, you're going to lose if she charges, regardless of your amazing endurance.
Never underestimate the poor judgement of stupid people in groups.🤪
Na that bear probally walks past people everyday. They knew it wasnt going to attack
Timothy Treadwells groupies
@@greer8288 until it does lol
Everyone in this video should be thankful they're still alive. That was an unbelievably amazing and just as dangerous of a bear encounter a human can have. Thank you for sharing!
Being that close to a bear and her cubs is like playing with fire! They were very lucky she didn't attack them.
+SamScareCrow well the bear did choose to walk close by.
That's why I said they were lucky!! Bears are normally very protective of their cubs.
+SamScareCrow bears a known to attack if you spook them ahah once I was walking in the forest I saw some blueberry patches.... never again
+SamScareCrow They acted correctly according to the situation they found themselves in. Animals, just like dogs often pick up your intentions. If they would have started to run away in panic, the bear would probably be unsettled and put her guard up. As the guy mentioned in the beginning, just relax and leave her room to pass by. The bear didn't identify the tourist as threats to begin with, that's why she walked towards them, she would never bring her cubs towards them otherwise. But as you say though, you don't want to startle a bear with cubs. But I don't think they were lucky, that's a word I wouldn't use.
+eightypuff01 Not really - taking pictures (the noise), laughing (the noise and expressions - if the visible ton the bear) is foolish

Although mama Bear looked relaxed, she could’ve in a split second switched to attack mode, Bears are unpredictable to say the least
You can see her at 0:50 doing that move with her jaws, Bears do that chomping move when they get nervous, that’s an aggressive move and shows that she was actually thinking about it.
I also noticed that myself great point crazy folks there

If it's brown, get down.
If it's white, Goodnight

can't cure stupid. especially when they kept clicking that camera, thankfully the clicking didn't scare the cubs or it would have been a whole different ending to this video
linda boyce yea it wouldn't be on youtube either, it would be on bestgore.
Don't try to explain complex or complicated to a liberal. In her own little world she believes those people were in great danger because bears don't like white people.
Yeah they're majestic and amazing animals but I would not stand that close. Lives were hanging by a thread there.
As a bear, I have to say that we are familiar with cameras
In the end it would have been the bear doing the filming: talking about how the situation was so crazy and how she and her Cubs ended up with the camera.
Why didn't you try and pet them?
Would have instantly deepened the gene pool!
Because then the ones who pet them end up dead. Get too close to a bear, it will attack.
This video should be titled "lucky people who cheated death"
This is a brown bear for god's sake. It's not a panda.
Shit, even pandas will shred you if you piss them off or threaten the cubs.
Pandas aren’t even real bears.
Dr Boom Preach on, brotha! Absolutely correct!!
Not just a brown bear, but a brown bear with fucking cubs. They are insane.
Telling people that a wild animal like a bear is less dangerous than a DOMESTIC dog is wildly irresponsible. Every animal has the potential to snap, and just because you follow the proper procedure does not make you completely safe. This is especially true when offspring are involved
shit.. momma with cubs. fuck that. i live in alaska and i dont go into bear country with less than a 45-70.
have you had any encounters?
funny enough only 2. both were here in town.
The claws on that thing
Possibly not intelligent to keep clicking the camera! Oh! Let’s p**s off the huge Momma Grizzly even more by taking pictures of her babies and making strange noises!!
Facts!!😉
Clicking is nothing, the bear might think, those are the sounds humans are making, BUT if they accidentally turn flash on, bear and her cubs could be startled, leading them to even higher percentage of becoming a pretty finger-lickin' good meatloaf for the whole family!
The bears probably think they're at a human zoo.
Bear: "Aw shit. Not this place again. I'll just casually walk by, maybe they ignore me"
I am speechless. Most reckless thing I have ever seen. Grizzly bear mothers, with cubs are about the most dangerous thing walking around. That could have gone very bad, very fast.
Thats a brown bear, the coastal river version of the grizzly. They are very chill because they don't compete for food like the skinner inland grizzlies do. Let alone the fact that this is a tourist location so these bears are very used to people.
But this is also a fact about all bears. They will not charge into a group of people, it's not like in movies where they're just mindless raging machines that don't care how much they get hurt. They'll only take fights they can reasonably win with little to no injuries. It's not going to charge into a group of humans or a couple moose or a herd of caribou, they just won't.
So what would you have done differently? Run and scream? You cannot outrun a bear.
wow! That was stupid to 1) get that close to a grizzly 2) get that close to a mama grizzly wirh cubs. That situation could have been very ugly.
@@vergil8833 STILL a grizzly.

7 people vs 1 brown bear.
tbh i highly doubt ...just cause all we heard was the sound of a camera doesn't mean thats all they were packing...anyone who ventures where they know there is bears will have bear spray and guns....and if you think these people going "awesome" wouldn't immediately shoot that mother in the face if she acts out...you're mistaken
Sprint Rollingon ARE GUYS STUPID THESE comments omfg. FIRST THE BEAR DECIDED TO GET CLOSE . She felt no threat because she came close. THE PEOPLE DIDNT GET CLOSE TO THE BEAR.

@@willnot3297 I mean these people didn’t do anything wrong. They just remained calm and the bears knew they weren’t a threat.

@clysses S I think the concern is, nobody looked armed. They should have had an armed bear guard. A last resort measure to prevent or stop an attack.
@clysses S lol that's Alaska, people most definitely carry out there (unlike whatever neutered place you come from).
@Jay Ceebut it rips humans around apart to protect cubs.
Jay Cee Doesn’t eat but it will protect its cubs and any sign of danger
These people really don't understand what their dealing with, especially considering the cubs. The smallest gesture or sound can cause a mother to attack while guarding its young. Videos like this give the wrong impression to people on the correct attitude toward wild Grizzly/Brown bears. Should NEVER allow yourself to get this close by choice.
Yes, all it can take is a video to make them look approachable (like this clip). Next time you never know, someone may even attempt to pat one on the head, without being fully aware of what a bear is capable of doing.
That bear can out run, out swim and out climb the fitest humans on this planet. When you see a bear approaching on the horizon you should get very much out of the way. Fools with a capital F
Are you sure brown bears can climb at all? I know black bears are excellent climbers, but she looks way to heavy for climbing. On the other hand, climbing wouldnt be an option in this case^^
ok bud, go watch some bears attacking human videos and you'll see how violently unpredictable and spontaneous a bear can be,. especially if they get startled
Evo Dallas polar bears are massive and can swim 200 miles out to see non stop ..
Actually Bears don't give a crap who you are. These people did the right thing. They didn't bother her, didn't cause her to think they were a threat to her or her cubs. Goes to show how little you know of bears. I have been fishing with bears, and I would say 99% of the time, if you don't bother them, they wont bother you.
they made everything right, so you are fool with small f ) she is going very calm! In situation when so many people around - nobody moves, shes a mother, any movement in such situation can trigger her! Especially because they were sitting, standing up in this particular case could be a mistake!
Mama Bear: "Those are humans. They occasionally will want to feed you and talk to you and take photos. Just smile and walk on."
And they are laughing.
They don't have a clue how extremely fortunate they are to be able to share this clip.
I love the people's reaction, like "All cool! We got to see a massive mama bear with her cubs up close!". In reality, more like Mama bear didn't perceive you as a threat and as such did not destroy your faces and rip you to shreds.
Real Brainless...lucky momma bear didn't attack.
+Dinoxt12 and if she had attacked she would have been put down as a danger to humans
+Dinoxt12 What do you think they should have done? Obviously they didn't expect to run into a bear, and once the bear is around the best thing to do is stay put and not do anything to alarm it.
+Dinoxt12 they acted correctly, kept calm and didnt move.......... please educate yourself, information is as easy to find on the internet as posting crud
+Rabbi Shlomo Shekelberg-Rubingoldstein The lady herself said @ 1:02 it was a "Bear Trip". Of course they expected to see bears...that was their objective! I'm quite sure they saw the bear long before this video began filming it. Yeah, people go out all the time in places like that to experience the bears...but they know to stay a far distance away and not invite an attack. So like Dinoxt12 said, they were rather brainless, and also lucky they didn't get killed. Female bears with cubs are by far the most dangerous and likely to attack, whether you've being still or not! You can lie down and play dead and they'll still attack. They don't have to have cubs either to decide to attack...remember, to a hungry bear YOU are on the menu!

This group filming saw the bear coming from far away, so they could have moved away, but instead, they stayed on the bear's path, and you could tell the bear wasn't comfortable. It turned around to make sure that the guignol was not following them.
this is beyond insanity and pure ignorance. Look at the claws on the mother Grizzly. I don't care who the "expert" guide is and I don't care how many years he's been conducting these outings, and I don't care if he's never had an incident. The "guide" has no control over the behavior of a top apex predator and making matters even more dangerous, this idiot is jeopardizing the entire group by having them so close to the cubs. Anyone thinking they know wild animals should research Siegfried and Roy's white tiger cub Montalban they raised from birth. They thought they knew everything too. We just witnessed Death passing by this group
catchmeifyucan1 It is a brown bear, not a Grizzly bear. Brown bears are different bears.
sorry, but you are wrong. THAT is a grizzly bear. You can tell by the hump on their shoulders and huge size
This is way too close! Amazing nothing happened!
Yeah let's stay in momma bear's path to have a reaction selfie. Nothing bad would ever happen. Now I see why bear attacks are on the rise, people have gotten fucking STUPID. It's almost like they are offering themselves back up to nature on its selection list.
holy sweet jesus... why didn't you "get out of the way" on the OTHER side?
I mean do you think a bear wouldn't change its path if it actually saw the humans as a threat? It probably realistically saw them move out of its path, acknowledged that and continued on straight.
iYeti, Best Support NA I think the point is that they were on both sides of the bear, if i had uncommon animals on both sides of me in my environment, i would be a little more nervous for my kids. People know that bears are crazy, this one is most likely used to tourists and sees them as no threat. however that doesnt make it any less stupid or risky. I speak from experience, I once made the mistake of crossing a path with Volibear IN his jungle. Let me tell you that it did not end well for me :P
Nope. No fucking thank you. Couldn't pay me to go on one of these "bear trails."
Not a bear-human relations expert, but I think the key distinctions between this very close encounter with a mother bear and her cubs and more eventful instances (besides what some others have commented about this particular National Park, Katmai, hosting bears that are used to human presence, which I have no comment on) are that here:
(1) it would seem the mother bear was continuously very aware of the humans presence from a long distance/time leading up to this, due to clear line-of-sight environment
(2) the mother freely, pretty calmly (some chewing motions but no grunts) walked in the direction of the humans, of all possible directions she could choose to walk in, _with her cubs_ mind you.
(3) the humans were relatively numerous and more densely packed into a group (less worth the bears energy and perceived safety to antagonize preemptively), and
(4) the humans safely stayed put as and after the bears approached and importantly did not approach the bears at any time (the one lady shouldn't have elevated herself to look into the camera imo tho).
Had the humans suddenly moved location/walked in a way that seemed like an advance to the bear, or the cubs by extremely bad luck investigated them, disaster was more likely, but none of that happened. This is all to refute a lot of the simplistic comments that confidently state how 'totally stupid' these people apparently are for 'getting that close to a mother bear and her cubs'. The only stupid things were the people splitting into two opposite groups for the bear to pay attention to, potentially making it feel more cornered, and the light chatter/camera noises.
Almost all bear attacks on humans who are not literally hunting/chasing bears (they get what's coming to them as a risk) happen because the human (or humanS; though they're probably usually disparate enough to be seen as smaller single threats) has unknowingly or foolishly advanced on and so threatened the bear, since bears do NOT hunt humans, and then failed to do the proper defensive bear safety protocol. The victims in those scenarios are also likely up and moving around up until they see the bear/her cubs and/or the bear sees them, which comes as a sudden surprise to either party at what is now deemed a threatening distance to the bear, filling the encounter with much additional stress and uncertainty for both parties. None of that happens in this video.
You're trying to attribute deterministic behavior to bears too much. They're just unpredictable creatures, sometimes savage even, period.
You should have pet the little ones
Dude...they must have their personal space also. And have you ever seen what a month we bear can do if you try to do something to he cubs?

0:57 Stare into the eyes of death
Love it how people and nature can just co-exist sometimes. Like here, where the bears just mind their own business and the people keep to themselves, keeping peace between groups and allowing 'deadly closeups' like this, to be possible with no real fear for safety.
Now had the cubs wandered to the humans, there might've been a different story. But you never know.
Not very smart though the bear did the mouth that meant she was agitated but very beautiful
"Don't bother kids. They are tasteless."

Those are coastal brown bears. They are pretty docile. There is plenty of fish. So the adults don't get to snacking on the kiddos. Trying doing that to inland grizzly mamas. Unfortunately someone is going to that and dye after watching this. They should take this video down. Not a good idea to get close to grizzly mamas.
From the size of the cubs, they look like in june-july when they just out from hibernation
One FART, one tiny thing to cause that mama-bear to think there is a threat to her cubs, and that bear would have attacked violently and killed at least one of them, if not more. Provided they'd be foolish enough to be in BIG bear country without a BIG-bore rifle! They all looked death right in the face (never look a bear in the eyes!) that day.
