That's why the females are smart enough to use their braìns and move higher, and the makes are dùmb enough to follow. Moms use these cliffs to knock them back and occasionally off the cliff.

      Sounds like you might be getting your male chauvinist in you in a tizzy. If the male bear was that hungry, and seems not to be, then momma would be dead too. And male bear didn't quit lookin. He just quit fighting because it wasn't worth getting hurt fighting with momma. So yea the momma gave him a run for his money and he backed off. Didn't quit but backed off. I'm sure he heard cub still squalling that's why he went to back side .

      Like men were chasing children to eat them, and activate the processus of oestrus in females, to mate and assure its genetic hegemony?
      We, primates are very different. In our species, infanticides are more often committed by females/women.
      The comparaison with a female urside is irrelevant in terms of behavior, but flattering and empowering for sure.
      Not saying that there are no great human mothers, there are plenty, Just that the fathers are generally not cannibals( unlike bears.)

And no you simply dont know the behavior of male Bears, she didnt fairly “fight him off” she just got blessed with a male who never tried to fight her… he wasnt trying to bulldoze her, he just wants the cubs. He could care less about the females strength, he kept her alive because he wants to mate with her. Dont get a false narrative that she could actually fight him off, if he tried then she would be bleeding out or simply dead

      Yes.
      It’s nice that the mother bear protects her children.
      Very nice.
      But let’s not be too forgetful of everything in ascertaining such a statement.
      What am I talking about?
      Simply this.
      I recently watched a video on TH-cam which show cased a lady hiking with her daughter in Alberta.
      Unfortunately the two ran into a mother grizzly with two cubs.
      The human mother and daughter wasn’t hurting the grizzly or cubs.
      But the mother grizzly tore the human mother and her 11 year old daughter to pieces simply because they were in her vicinity in the wilderness.
      So?
      Is the mother bear the epitome of mother hood there too?
      And often times a mother bear will kill another mother of another terrestrial species and that molecular species babies too in order to feed the bears young.
      So?
      Is that too the epitome of mother hood?
      Or or
      Is Mother Nature possibly just simply crazy?
      At times?
      In this existence?
      In setting up such a scenario?
      That way.
      In this life.

      Nope. They eat them. And this behavior has been viewed many times in September and October, and we have also seen females do it. It takes 2 weeks for the female to come back into estrus, and there is no way he will be the only male to benefit, plus being mid July, it’s too late for her to come into estrus.

      You are correct. Even in Katmai the boars that have killed cubs don't always eat them when there's salmon around. If this was September or October they would probably eat them but the instinct to kill them still may not be for the sole intent of getting a meal. Anyone who tells you why they do what they do without question is just up in their own ego because even the behavioral scientists will tell you that there could be many reasons and they don't know for sure. (If the boars ALWAYS ate the cubs then there would be no question but they don't.) Some of them suggest that it may be a way to keep the competition down before it ever gets up, like natural population control. We just don't know because bears can't talk. lol

When Mamas return w/o their cubs the following year, it's really upsetting because then we just don't know anything n everyone is hungry.

  • @bradjosephs
    @bradjosephs  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +35

    Here is a quote from my friend and bear expert Drew Hanilton.
    “ There are lots of reasons infanticide happens in bear populations but sexual selection is the least likely reason. There are many reasons it doesn’t make sense: seasonal hormone patterns/limited breeding seasons: with essentially a month to mate does it make sense spending 10-14 days waiting for a female to come back estrous? Geographic distribution: bears can be far ranging creatures, if infanticide occurs outside mating season what are the odds those two bears will be in the same place for mating season?
    Why would a female commit infanticide? That happens more than people thibnk.
    I could go on and on.
    It is like it was written up in a paper in 1975 and perpetuated through grad student lit reviews for 50 years.
    People need to put some weird perverted twist on it and ignore the most obvious reasons: predation, rank and hierarchy dynamics, and the fact that family groups frequently run from other bears.
    Bears are hard on other bears, that is a fact, and if you are the smallest, weakest, bear you won’t survive some of the situations larger bears would.”

    This is quite an awesome video. Many people are complaining that you ended the video early - they don’t know how it works in real life! Sometimes the cub could be lost for hours or 1-2 days even, before reuniting with mom, and surviving by climbing up a tree and staying there. Sometimes, the cub falls victim to the bear further away. Shows how incredibly shallow people are nowadays, expecting all videos to be like the movies or something.

    Sadly it appears that he spotted the cub that had run up the hill at around the 2:28 mark. But it doesn't look like he ate it or carried it off anywhere. Would he have killed it just to kill it? Or maybe we just didn't see the male take the cub away.

    I think evolution screwed mama bear over, when it comes to size disparities. I definitely think she would’ve benefited from being larger in size compared to the males. One example I can think of, where this is true: birds of prey 🦅
    Tenacity and fearlessness goes a long way to keep those cubs alive, but muscle mass helps out too.
