Since I watched and fell in love with the elephants in a Mexican circus that came through Southeast Texas, I have always been enamored by their care for each other. They are so very emotional. When one is not feeling well the others will show them affection. They are great mothers and aunties who all watch out for and take care of the babies. They are precious giants. Thank you Andrea for all you do for these beautiful creatures.
I was brought up with a wolf in Billings Montana back in the 1950’s.. OH MY GOD!!!! What a gift…She was my reason for a lot of the love I received as a child.. Seriously!!
The first "dog" I had as a young adult turned out to be a wolf cross. And after 60 years of breeding, training and living with a pack of dogs, I still appreciate his unusual nature. He was extremely intelligent with a "wisdom" and reasoning power that most dogs do not show. He also had an uncanny sense of humor. One of the best animals who shared his amazing life with me for nearly 17 years! We did not "own" him; he was simply an important member of our family. He was also a very strong, but benevolent leader of any dog pack we happened to have at the time, giving the "rules" to any new dog in a matter of seconds with silent communication. He taught me a lot!
@@gemstones2216 Did I miss something? Did the OP say she didn't think bears held intelligence? For the record, elephants have been shown to be more intelligent than any species of bears.
@@B_Bodziak Yeah. Never gave bears much credit for brains. I appreciate them, from a distance. Elephants are super cool, though. Hate to see them persecuted. Just isn't right. Granted, some of them can be jerks, and some of them just can't help getting into trouble. They have to be controlled, like any wild animal, so they don't become an intolerable nuisance. But it's nice to see them safe in a habitat that is natural for them.
why? because they disrupt natural wildlife? because they give natural animals drugs they would never encounter in the wild? how about hey just leave them alone, stay away from their territory. If they come into town then they need to be take care of. its pretty simple
Watched these episodes when first aired, you never get tiered of watching all these magnificent animals 💜 What a great episode of 60 min. 60 min covers so much of human condition This episode is no exception. As Scott Pelley puts it " Are we saving Pandas, or are Pandas saving Us"♥
The man that was attacked and is not upset that the grizzly lives, is a very smart man with the response he gave. We are trespassers to the animals. If you move into or play in their territory, you should be aware you could be what's for dinner.
These animals a majestic. Being mammals their behaviors are so close to humans its truly fascinating. We have to protect them at all cost. Great documentary
Behaviors displayed by wild mammals, especially predators, and even herding animals of the fields are definitely NOT like that of human beings. They behave like animals, as they should. People who display behaviors similar to any animal clearly have behavioral health problems due to some kind of mental health issue or a major neurological injury. As humans, we are the natural caretakers of all the creatures and all of creation on the Earth. This is the way God made the world to be. Natural, healthy, non-mutated animals understand that perfectly, as they understand how God made this world. The only mutants that shouldn't have even existed in the first place are diseased, violent for nothing, majorly brain damaged, unnatural, and unessential, and unnecessary vermin mutts.
The people that do these types of jobs are true heroes. Each of us has our own individual responsibilities to the planet. But without people that dedicate their lives to looking out for these animals and protecting them we'd be lost
I really like the attitude of the Montana folks they interviewed. They seem like such calm, happy, reasonable people. Mother Nature no doubt plays a role in this contentment. ❤
Montana is an amazing place, and the people are wonderful! Some of the friendliest and most down to earth folks you will ever neet. Ive got an Aunt & Uncle and several cousin who live there, and so me and my siblings have been going there for visits all our lives. It's one of my most favorite places to visit. Not to mention it's a breathtakingly beautiful state.
There is a chance they only show the interviews like that and cut the opposite voices? There is not a single thing that is agree by everyone. if there is only one side is show, it must be selected.
Brilliant documentary. Thank you. There's nothing greater than learning about new things that increase our knowledge and enrich our lives with goals of better understanding animal behavior.
I went to Adelaide Zoo especially to see the 2 Pandas they have. It was such a beautiful experience. They sat right in front of me and ate their bamboo,,, consequently I didn't see anything else of the zoo.....They are 12 years old. I have loved them my whole life. The symbol of the WWF. I am so glad these programs are happening to save them and care for them for future generations !!!

Europe had to hunt them out as they lost thousands o f kids by wolf attack. They will eventually just come up to your door and grab any smaller person.

Wear boots or leather gaiters up to your knees when hiking and pay attention, you will not have any problems. My own brother stepped on a timber rattlesnake, accidentally while hunting and it didn't strike.

Amazing 🤩 and beautiful 👏🏽 these 🐘 and the work done by the observers, I was touched by the mourning of the baby by her group, thank you for giving a little peek into these intelligent & loving animals
After the incident that was the Schiaparelli runway this week past, it’s awesome to see these conservation stories and documentaries take centre stage and light up the algorithm. I had my weekend class sit in today (the weather is absolute chaos in NZ at the moment) and I was surprised that one of my students wanted to cast this up on the tv for everybody to watch as we drew big cats. I try to take every opportunity to educate them but not force it, so it’s rewarding that they’ve made these choices on their own and taken an interest in wildlife conservation. It was very encouraging to see all the positive attitudes (for the most part) expressed from the citizens of these places understanding there is a balance sometimes good, sometimes bad but overall how imperative animals are to the ecosystem and even our own survival. Some don’t understand this, and people are afraid of what they don’t understand which in this case and as seen in the documentary results in mass killings of keystone species. This is partly why I’ve made the choice to eventually study lions throughout Tanzania, Zambia and Botswana, there is still so much to learn and people to educate.
@@B_Bodziak Very fortunate indeed, being as it’s wildlife art and all things nature, they enjoy learning anything and everything about the natural world and conservation. But again if they weren’t happy with watching or listening to certain things, they are old enough (Teens and Adults) to vocalise this.
@@randibgood No, not real furs and skins, though Ami Zarug (The designer of the animal pieces) does have real furs and skeletons he’s acquired in order to better replicate true detail. It was more so the image his heads on garments portrayed and perpetuated. On their own his works are stunning but they served no genuine purpose on the runway other than for show. There was no effort or mention toward conservation or the rapid decline that apex predators like lion and snow leopard are facing in the wild.
I swear every time this video pops up on my screen I end up watching the entire thing before I realize that I've already watched it multiple times.... lol I guess that's a good thing.
I saw a grizzly bearing Yellowstone national park and I was emotional and I cried because I felt so B;LESSED to be able to see one of the many God's creations. Nature should be protected forever everywhere!!!!!! God's creations should be protected and loved because they are gift of pour splendid nature!!!!
I am so thankful for your research on Grizzlies. They are fascinating animals! I don't get out to their usual territory and leave them alone on purpose. I have no intention of being bear food.
@@prem_pandya loving animals also means respecting them as equals. Yes grizzly bears are apex predators, everyone knows that, so we should respect their environments & habitats and steer clear of them and use non-lethal defensive methods in emergency situations. The best thing to do is to do everything you can to never find yourself in that situation. Funny thing to mention, grizzly bears are largely vegetarian but of course they will hunt fish & mammals.
Awesome documentary. A lot of great informative info.. I could watch for hours if it lasted that long.. i wish all humans respected wildlife like these people..
I love elephants, absolutely love them. Finally had a dream come to when I visited PAWS Wild Animal Sanctuary in San Andreas CA in 2018. What a magnificent animal. Thank you Mr. Bob Barker who brought those girls there.
Awesome 60mins episodes. The scientist that is living in a remote part of Africa and studying elephant herds language is so extraordinary. The giant panda episode is compelling as well.
@@robinmartz9052 the Chinese use age african elephant tusks to make ornaments and for medicinal purposes they dont care about perticular african animals being killed to extinction but they wouldnt want anyone going to their country and Murdering their pandas but their okay with african animals being slaughtered for their own purposes.wickedness and double standards
@@robinmartz9052 scientific purposes for understanding ,knowledge ,for the same reasons why you as the question to know and understand its not complicated
Such a wonderful combo of videos. Everytime I’ve been in alaska or Colorado I’m always trippin about bears and seeing those bear charges in this doc just freaked me out more 😂
What an amazing and meaningful career. When I was a child I wanted to study elephant or gorillas and live with them. My life took a different route but if I could have a redo to study elephants I would. For now I will continue to support conservation efforts and learn about them through literature and videos.
Gorillas or elephants would love to live with you too Miss Cindy. No Dought about that in my mind & i dont even know You!!! Blessings to you and your family always from puerto rico with lots of love
I have worked in Alaska and was raised in Northern California. I have had many encounters with Bears and Rattle Snakes. They all have left me be. Maybe just luck, or maybe I have been blessed by understanding and respecting nature. I had a bear in Montana escort me down a mountain. I was not sure how that was going to go, but when I got to the river, I looked back, and it was gone. It just escorted me out of its territory. :)
60 Minutes might do a story about beavers. For an animal that was almost extinct, they've made a remarkable comeback, and they are incredibly good for the land and the climate!
We are living in all of these animals habitat/homes. We need to learn to live with them. It's not their fault we have taken over their territory. I loved all of these episodes, thank you for sharing!
They are living in our habitat exactly as much as we are living in theirs, and human lives are 1000 times more important. It’s time people with simply damaging ideas be called out for them.
@@Smallgot83 Human lives are not any better. God created animals before humans. The arrogance to think you are better than God's creature's is a disgrace. I wonder what God will say when he comes across all that killed his creation that implied they were more important.
Watching this again was a real treat. I've seen all of these pieces but separately mixed with other content on Sunday nights but seeing them together was amazing.
This is the best show I have ever seen made by you. This gives me hope that we can set aside our bad human actions and help other animals we have put in danger of extinction Thank you for this coverage.
Elephants are ruthless just like all animals, birds, insects. Some are "compassionate" to their own; some are not. Just stop. Elephants are a good example, though.
@@mariharrik5987 Everything an elephant, or for that matter any other animal besides humans, does that you deem "ruthless" or "cruel" is all instinctual. All protecting or feeding their own or pack/herd members. Exactly opposite from the very conscious cruelty, well thought out torture, intentional genocide, learned hatred, vicious attacks, declared wars, that humans inflict on one another. Theirs is subconscious survival instincts. Ours is not and comes from our frontal cortex, very conscious complicated thought processes of how to inflict harm, cruelty, and damage our same kind, as well as animals and our environment. It's not nature that is ruthless and cruel. Those only come from human minds.
For one's own safety in the woods of Montana, it is very important to never surprise bears and to carry some form of defense in case of an attack. For instance, wearing bells (to avoid surprising a bear) and carrying bear-strength pepper spray are both suggested. Also, knowing the differences between the Grizzly and the more common Black Bear is important. Analyzing bear scat can help distinguish between these two species. The Black Bear's scat is usually smaller and contains the remnants of fur (squirrel, etc.) and berries. However, Grizzly Bear scat is much larger, clumpier, and often contains bells and smells like pepper.
So to recap: We need to wear bells and pepper spray and we identify the Grizzly bear by its scat which contains bells and smells like pepper...I mean, it seems that bear poo is comprised of hikers who acted based on this advice. My take on how to hike montana is to do it New Jersey or Nevada...
5:11 yeah the bears need water - good job neighborhood plannings and developers. Put families next to the bear water fountain! Let’s put a school between the liquor store and the strip club 😂
To the first segment - bears gonna bear. They are what they are and they can't change that, so we have to change our behavior around them. It's on humans not to be stupid, and not to do things that will actively attract bears. Might take a lesson or two from the Indigenous peoples who've lived in bear country from time immemorial and find out how they managed to co-exist: in fact, 60 Minutes, interviews with Indigenous people and getting their perspective on co-existing with bears as much as possible without inviting danger would be a useful and worthwhile extension of the topic. It might even lead to some new conversations on how to balance ranching and farming needs with the basic ecology that the bears are an integral part of, and which the ranchers and farmers themselves depend on in that part of the country..
Just started reading Rick McIntyre’s series on Yellowstone wolves and it’s an excellent read. Glad to see him pop up here and still doing what he loves.
Very good story and very educational for all of us out here in TH-cam land!!!! My sister lives in Montana in that kind of northwest section in Plains area… and I live down in Utah, just north of Salt Lake City…I used to live in Alaska, outside of Anchorage a ways… so this kind of thing really interests me!!! Thank you very much to any and all who were involved with this!! ❤
Where I live in western NC, we have a large number of black bears. They are generally not aggressive toward humans. I live in a very long-developed community in a house that’s at least 103 years old. But the influx of new people who want to live in the mountains has been very disruptive to their habitat; I no longer walk early in the morning or in the evening due to multiple encounters.
My buddy was in Ashville for his son's wedding. He is a Vietnam Vet. He walks with a cane. He looked out at the dumpster one morning, and there was a Black Bear. He goes out, and chases it with his cane. Better man than I am...
@@TheJackBaker lol...I can actually see that HAPPENING....reminds me of my 4 ft 3" step mum chasing a mother bear & her two cubs with a broomstick, because they tore down her birdfeeder..yelling & screaming at them...they all jumped out of their skins..but all of a sudden the mother turned around & GROWLED AT HER..I INSTINCTIVELY i FLEW OUT THE DOOR BEtwEEN BEAR & MUM & ROARED BACK...SHE DECIDED THAT WAS TOO MUCH & SLOWLY AMBLED OFF AFTER HER CUBS...I NEAR FAINTED...AFTER THE FACT...SORRY FoR THE CAPS, KEYBOARD IS DYING
How do radio collars expand as the grizzly grows bigger without choking it do death? And how are collars prevented from snagging on trees or underwater trees and drowning a bear?
These, and all of the world's creatures, deserve our love and respect. We must learn to protect habitats as much as we need to protect their lives. So much is dependent on education, and acceptance of their inherent worth, each and every creature. Then, we need to develop, engineer our existence around what is best for ALL of us, human and animal alike.
I totally agree! What so many humans will not accept is that they cannot own land. They can only exist on it, use it. They insist and they clear it of all living things to exploit it. Then leave it for another patch of Mother Earth to exploit and for the indigenous people to try to survive on this baron land other humans left behind. Those same exploiters blame the indigenous for all the struggles they face which were caused by exploitation. 60mins episode was good, but this was just a feel good story. Look what these great humans are doing to save the animals....When if we humans had just taken what we needed and not taken all and then poison, pollute, and stripe away at Mother Earth, these little patches of sanctuaries around the world, whom always need money to keep them alive and able to protect, wouldn't be necessary. Scientists could do what they did before. Just go out in mother nature to view and study Mother Earth and those who live on her!
Absolutely loved this! I am a bear person, really enjoyed the Grizzly story, the wolf story was fascinating as well, i remember when the wolves were reintroduced in to Yellowstone, i live in Ohio, and i knew, that was gonna cause some serious issues and problems, but seems, that since the reintroduction, it has benefited alot, made the ecosystem in balance again
I find it funny when like the guy who got attacked by the bear say things like being intrusive or there in their house. No they're hungry or see you as a threat to their cubs.
What an amazing adventure this lady researcher has been living, I'm so jealous!!! And it's something that's so needed, she's doing very important work. Now we need a trained army of mercenaries to hunt and take out the poachers, they're monsters! Idk how she copes with a dead elephant, it must be heart wrenching. I certainly can't bear to see dead elephants, it's like seeing a massacre of humans, maybe worse! The pandas are adorable and important too! 😍 Thankful for all of these researchers and everything they're doing to study, help and hopefully save them.
There something about these beautiful, intelligent, emotional, elephants that makes me feel so sad for them. I don't want nobody to hurt them nor hunt them. I wish I had powers to send a spirit to protect them always and forever.
RE: Grizzlies, I’ve seen the most odious of people hunting GIANTS, here on TH-cam. It’s not mentioned here, but I DO NOT buy the ‘balance’ argument. They were fine until we came along. We HAVE to co exist. Love & Light from Miami Shores🦚 Stay safe mates🌎✌🏼 Peace & Prayers for the people of Ukraine🇺🇦✨

I had my weekend class sit in today (the weather is absolute chaos in NZ at the moment) and I was surprised that one of my students wanted to cast this up on the tv for everybody to watch as we drew big cats. I try to take every opportunity to educate them but not force it, so it’s rewarding that they’ve made these choices on their own and taken an interest in wildlife conservation.
It was very encouraging to see all the positive attitudes (for the most part) expressed from the citizens of these places understanding there is a balance sometimes good, sometimes bad but overall how imperative animals are to the ecosystem and even our own survival. Some don’t understand this, and people are afraid of what they don’t understand which in this case and as seen in the documentary results in mass killings of keystone species. This is partly why I’ve made the choice to eventually study lions throughout Tanzania, Zambia and Botswana, there is still so much to learn and people to educate.
Were those real hides/skins they were wearing?
How fortunate for your students that you allowed one student to bring this hour of video into discussion!
@@B_Bodziak Very fortunate indeed, being as it’s wildlife art and all things nature, they enjoy learning anything and everything about the natural world and conservation. But again if they weren’t happy with watching or listening to certain things, they are old enough (Teens and Adults) to vocalise this.
@@randibgood No, not real furs and skins, though Ami Zarug (The designer of the animal pieces) does have real furs and skeletons he’s acquired in order to better replicate true detail. It was more so the image his heads on garments portrayed and perpetuated. On their own his works are stunning but they served no genuine purpose on the runway other than for show. There was no effort or mention toward conservation or the rapid decline that apex predators like lion and snow leopard are facing in the wild.
@@theartsyzoologist I thought those outfits looked ridiculous and perpetuated the wrong message. Good to know they aren't real!
8:07 that's terrifying... Bears run so fast. So much faster than a lot of people would think.
I swear every time this video pops up on my screen I end up watching the entire thing before I realize that I've already watched it multiple times.... lol I guess that's a good thing.
I saw a grizzly bearing Yellowstone national park and I was emotional and I cried because I felt so B;LESSED to be able to see one of the many God's creations. Nature should be protected forever everywhere!!!!!! God's creations should be protected and loved because they are gift of pour splendid nature!!!!
I am so thankful for your research on Grizzlies. They are fascinating animals! I don't get out to their usual territory and leave them alone on purpose. I have no intention of being bear food.
Fantastic work. My son and I could watch something informative and wonderful together. Congratulations
The man that was attacked showed a lot of grace and proves he is a true sportsman. Much respect!
Just a wonderful film!!!!!@
I wish that thing would try that on me! I'd shoot a double leg and own it! No I've never wrestled but still.

Agreed completely he gets it, that he was the one out of his realm. I have a lot of respect for him.
" I was intruding" salute to you guy,
Wouldnt offer my arm for blood draw!!!!
Panda: hold my bamboo and apple slices!!!!
The best gift on the planet are animals 💗🙏
Nope thats me👌🙈
Step near a Grizzly bear and see who is the gift 😅
@@prem_pandya loving animals also means respecting them as equals. Yes grizzly bears are apex predators, everyone knows that, so we should respect their environments & habitats and steer clear of them and use non-lethal defensive methods in emergency situations. The best thing to do is to do everything you can to never find yourself in that situation. Funny thing to mention, grizzly bears are largely vegetarian but of course they will hunt fish & mammals.
@@learnhowto_click1334 Animals are not mans equal. Man has dominion over all animals, foul, and sea creatures. The bible tells us so.
@@gigiis526 God created animals before humans. You're right, they're not equal, they're better. God created animals before humans.
That lady with the elephants is one of the luckiest people on earth.
Awesome documentary. A lot of great informative info.. I could watch for hours if it lasted that long.. i wish all humans respected wildlife like these people..
People like you believe everything they on a screen
Me too.. absolutely loved it n could watch for hours.. God bless these amazing ppl saving the Earths so beautiful yet endangered animals.. ❤🙏🥰
I love elephants, absolutely love them. Finally had a dream come to when I visited PAWS Wild Animal Sanctuary in San Andreas CA in 2018. What a magnificent animal. Thank you Mr. Bob Barker who brought those girls there.
Awesome 60mins episodes. The scientist that is living in a remote part of Africa and studying elephant herds language is so extraordinary. The giant panda episode is compelling as well.
the Chinese medicine in elephant tusks are putting the elephants at risk
But WHY?
@@robinmartz9052 the Chinese use age african elephant tusks to make ornaments and for medicinal purposes
they dont care about perticular african animals being killed to extinction
but they wouldnt want anyone going to their country and Murdering their pandas but their okay with african animals being slaughtered for their own purposes.wickedness and double standards
@@robinmartz9052 scientific purposes for understanding ,knowledge ,for the same reasons why you as the question to know and understand its not complicated
Agreed.. amazing ❤
Such a wonderful combo of videos. Everytime I’ve been in alaska or Colorado I’m always trippin about bears and seeing those bear charges in this doc just freaked me out more 😂
God bless the elephant lady, so passionate about such an interesting species.
The humans moving into the bears' territory are the danger and the problem, not the other way around.
Agreed.
Agreed
@b52gf16c understood.
Humans have proven over and over they are the most dangerous species to the health of the planet!
Ya! We should reintroduce them to all there natural habitats, like LA and SanFrancisco
PANDAS ARE VERY INTELLIGENT AND BEAUTIFUL
One of the best episodes! Made me laugh AND cry. I love animals.
I do, too. We just have to respect the animals that have no interest in loving us back -- that goes for many human mammals, as well!
So sad
ABSOLUTELY LOVE EACH AND EVERY STORY!!!! Thanks! 😍😁😎🤗 Miss Bob Simon very much...😢😭😇
What an amazing and meaningful career. When I was a child I wanted to study elephant or gorillas and live with them. My life took a different route but if I could have a redo to study elephants I would. For now I will continue to support conservation efforts and learn about them through literature and videos.
Yeah you realized how little money those occupations make lol
Gorillas or elephants would love to live with you too Miss Cindy.
No Dought about that in my mind & i dont even know You!!!
Blessings to you and your family always from puerto rico with lots of love
How's Only Fans been?
@@ishowspppd7494 right
@@mariatorres5563 I'm pretty sure they wouldn't. They dont like hoes in their midst
I have worked in Alaska and was raised in Northern California. I have had many encounters with Bears and Rattle Snakes. They all have left me be. Maybe just luck, or maybe I have been blessed by understanding and respecting nature. I had a bear in Montana escort me down a mountain. I was not sure how that was going to go, but when I got to the river, I looked back, and it was gone. It just escorted me out of its territory. :)
Watched these episodes when first aired, you never get tiered of watching all these magnificent animals 💜
That tranquilizer guy had a voice like butter.
One of the best pieces of documentary I have seen by 60 mins yet great job guys LOVE IT!!!!!!
For this type of documentary, yes!
60 Minutes might do a story about beavers. For an animal that was almost extinct, they've made a remarkable comeback, and they are incredibly good for the land and the climate!
We are living in all of these animals habitat/homes. We need to learn to live with them. It's not their fault we have taken over their territory.
I loved all of these episodes, thank you for sharing!
They are living in our habitat exactly as much as we are living in theirs, and human lives are 1000 times more important. It’s time people with simply damaging ideas be called out for them.
@@Smallgot83 Human lives are not any better. God created animals before humans. The arrogance to think you are better than God's creature's is a disgrace. I wonder what God will say when he comes across all that killed his creation that implied they were more important.
@@LuvDogs65 wow. People like you exist.
@@Smallgot83 And sadly you as well. I'll take an animal's company over a human any day.
Exactly right!!
Watching this again was a real treat. I've seen all of these pieces but separately mixed with other content on Sunday nights but seeing them together was amazing.
Killing Grizzly’s for existing??? We are infringing on them. This is so sad.
That grizzly bear was absolutely terrifying! I've always considered the grizzly pretty much a death sentence if you were confronted by one.
This is the best show I have ever seen made by you. This gives me hope that we can set aside our bad human actions and help other animals we have put in danger of extinction Thank you for this coverage.
Elephants are beautiful souls who have more empathy for their own kind than humans. That is fact.
Elephants are ruthless just like all animals, birds, insects. Some are "compassionate" to their own; some are not. Just stop. Elephants are a good example, though.
Michael Adams animals are no different from humans they can be as ruthless as humans
Michael Adams no its not fact nature is cruel live with that
@@mariharrik5987 of course sherlock but many peaceful animals live on earth as well.
@@mariharrik5987 Everything an elephant, or for that matter any other animal besides humans, does that you deem "ruthless" or "cruel" is all instinctual. All protecting or feeding their own or pack/herd members. Exactly opposite from the very conscious cruelty, well thought out torture, intentional genocide, learned hatred, vicious attacks, declared wars, that humans inflict on one another. Theirs is subconscious survival instincts. Ours is not and comes from our frontal cortex, very conscious complicated thought processes of how to inflict harm, cruelty, and damage our same kind, as well as animals and our environment.
It's not nature that is ruthless and cruel. Those only come from human minds.
60yrs old and bears still haunt my nightmares. I cannot imagine for good and ill the extent of what we have lost as humans pampered by modern civ.
So enjoyed this entire show … thank you 😊
Humans: moves to the wilderness
Also humans: complains about wilderness
We are so dumb
Yup.
An excellent composition of fascinating stories. And worth every one of the almost 60 Minutes it took to watch them!
For one's own safety in the woods of Montana, it is very important to never surprise bears and to carry some form of defense in case of an attack. For instance, wearing bells (to avoid surprising a bear) and carrying bear-strength pepper spray are both suggested. Also, knowing the differences between the Grizzly and the more common Black Bear is important.
Analyzing bear scat can help distinguish between these two species. The Black Bear's scat is usually smaller and contains the remnants of fur (squirrel, etc.) and berries. However, Grizzly Bear scat is much larger, clumpier, and often contains bells and smells like pepper.
Also, don`t wear a cowbell. 😄
@@IndigenousUndergroundPrimate And never go walking in the woods dressed as a salmon..
Thank you . Very informative
@@IndigenousUndergroundPrimate oh boy could you imagine the sound when that thing finds ts way out!?
So to recap: We need to wear bells and pepper spray and we identify the Grizzly bear by its scat which contains bells and smells like pepper...I mean, it seems that bear poo is comprised of hikers who acted based on this advice. My take on how to hike montana is to do it New Jersey or Nevada...
People just can't leave animals alone
Especially in New Jersey :(
we're to many people but dont worry... not for long human population is in a devastating decline so you should be happy now 🤣🤣🤣
It's our planet.
You dont know what your talking about. These bears are in National Parks. Parks that were created to protect animals from humans.
These animals were almost extinct. What they’re doing is bringing them back. We need to know what we have because we almost ruined it.
You live where bears and other predators are prevalent, and then complain. People are the intruders, not nature
Thank you 60 Minutes. I truly enjoyed this piece
✨️Thank you this is awesome 🖤💛✨️💙❤️
5:11 yeah the bears need water - good job neighborhood plannings and developers. Put families next to the bear water fountain! Let’s put a school between the liquor store and the strip club 😂
The man that was attacked by a bear has a beautiful attitude towards animals & nature
If you farm that close to bears then you get what you get.
To the first segment - bears gonna bear. They are what they are and they can't change that, so we have to change our behavior around them. It's on humans not to be stupid, and not to do things that will actively attract bears. Might take a lesson or two from the Indigenous peoples who've lived in bear country from time immemorial and find out how they managed to co-exist: in fact, 60 Minutes, interviews with Indigenous people and getting their perspective on co-existing with bears as much as possible without inviting danger would be a useful and worthwhile extension of the topic. It might even lead to some new conversations on how to balance ranching and farming needs with the basic ecology that the bears are an integral part of, and which the ranchers and farmers themselves depend on in that part of the country..
Just started reading Rick McIntyre’s series on Yellowstone wolves and it’s an excellent read. Glad to see him pop up here and still doing what he loves.
I love learning about our wildlife and the work to save them
Very good story and very educational for all of us out here in TH-cam land!!!! My sister lives in Montana in that kind of northwest section in Plains area… and I live down in Utah, just north of Salt Lake City…I used to live in Alaska, outside of Anchorage a ways… so this kind of thing really interests me!!! Thank you very much to any and all who were involved with this!! ❤
Dr. How-Wrong 😂😂
Where I live in western NC, we have a large number of black bears. They are generally not aggressive toward humans. I live in a very long-developed community in a house that’s at least 103 years old. But the influx of new people who want to live in the mountains has been very disruptive to their habitat; I no longer walk early in the morning or in the evening due to multiple encounters.
Exactly same here..i live in the mountains of NEPA...too many 'refugees' from the cities has endangered us all.
My buddy was in Ashville for his son's wedding. He is a Vietnam Vet. He walks with a cane. He looked out at the dumpster one morning, and there was a Black Bear. He goes out, and chases it with his cane. Better man than I am...
@@TheJackBaker lol...I can actually see that HAPPENING....reminds me of my 4 ft 3" step mum chasing a mother bear & her two cubs with a broomstick, because they tore down her birdfeeder..yelling & screaming at them...they all jumped out of their skins..but all of a sudden the mother turned around & GROWLED AT HER..I INSTINCTIVELY i FLEW OUT THE DOOR BEtwEEN BEAR & MUM & ROARED BACK...SHE DECIDED THAT WAS TOO MUCH & SLOWLY AMBLED OFF AFTER HER CUBS...I NEAR FAINTED...AFTER THE FACT...SORRY FoR THE CAPS, KEYBOARD IS DYING
there are more bears now than ever since about 1800 there. and since about 1900 in the western us.
What a great bunch of shows! Animal lovers delight! Thank you!
Not when you see an innocent cow fighting for his life
60 minutes what a cool interview thanks so much for this valuable information on the grizzly bear😊
How do radio collars expand as the grizzly grows bigger without choking it do death? And how are collars prevented from snagging on trees or underwater trees and drowning a bear?
These, and all of the world's creatures, deserve our love and respect. We must learn to protect habitats as much as we need to protect their lives. So much is dependent on education, and acceptance of their inherent worth, each and every creature. Then, we need to develop, engineer our existence around what is best for ALL of us, human and animal alike.
I AGREE FOR SURE.
Exactly.
I totally agree!
What so many humans will not accept is that they cannot own land. They can only exist on it, use it. They insist and they clear it of all living things to exploit it. Then leave it for another patch of Mother Earth to exploit and for the indigenous people to try to survive on this baron land other humans left behind. Those same exploiters blame the indigenous for all the struggles they face which were caused by exploitation. 60mins episode was good, but this was just a feel good story. Look what these great humans are doing to save the animals....When if we humans had just taken what we needed and not taken all and then poison, pollute, and stripe away at Mother Earth, these little patches of sanctuaries around the world, whom always need money to keep them alive and able to protect, wouldn't be necessary. Scientists could do what they did before. Just go out in mother nature to view and study Mother Earth and those who live on her!
Until your skull is hanging out of a Grizzly's mouth.
If we can figure out away to keep them from attacking humans then I agree until then they dead if one run up on me
Absolutely loved this! I am a bear person, really enjoyed the Grizzly story, the wolf story was fascinating as well, i remember when the wolves were reintroduced in to Yellowstone, i live in Ohio, and i knew, that was gonna cause some serious issues and problems, but seems, that since the reintroduction, it has benefited alot, made the ecosystem in balance again
I find it funny when like the guy who got attacked by the bear say things like being intrusive or there in their house. No they're hungry or see you as a threat to their cubs.
I admire and respect the dude who was attacked, his attitude and clarity about the whole event, is remarkable to me, it truly is. True that brah
Thank you for the fantastic view of the Wolves!
Wolves are gorgeous animals and native to this land. The fact that people almost hunted them to extinction is horrific!
What an amazing adventure this lady researcher has been living, I'm so jealous!!! And it's something that's so needed, she's doing very important work. Now we need a trained army of mercenaries to hunt and take out the poachers, they're monsters! Idk how she copes with a dead elephant, it must be heart wrenching. I certainly can't bear to see dead elephants, it's like seeing a massacre of humans, maybe worse! The pandas are adorable and important too! 😍 Thankful for all of these researchers and everything they're doing to study, help and hopefully save them.
The Wolves part was great! Rancher said, "There's something romantic about a wolf, right? Unless you've seen it chewing on a live cow." 😀
There something about these beautiful, intelligent, emotional, elephants that makes me feel so sad for them. I don't want nobody to hurt them nor hunt them. I wish I had powers to send a spirit to protect them always and forever.
You do have the power. Think it, say it, write it down. Often, sincerely, & with passion. It will have impact.
If I ever die from choking on gummy bears my wife was told to tell people I died in a bear attack and leave it at that.
OMG The Panda offering it's paw for a blood test❤ I can't think of anything cuter😅
That little silver baby panda is so adorable.. I want one 🌹❤️
RE: Grizzlies, I’ve seen the most odious of people hunting GIANTS, here on TH-cam.
It’s not mentioned here, but I DO NOT buy the ‘balance’ argument.
They were fine until we came along.
We HAVE to co exist.
Love & Light from Miami Shores🦚
Stay safe mates🌎✌🏼
Peace & Prayers for the people of Ukraine🇺🇦✨
I always known that animals are smarter and kinder than people.
Elephants, are marvelous creatures !!!
Thanks for sharing ❤😊
The snare is in humane. I HATE people that make life and death decisions over magnificent animals . WE encroached on them.
If it's to do harm, yes. However, this particular snare, while I'm sure it was terrifying the bear, is to help SAVE them.
Man's inhumanity to animals is deplorable!
Jeez a pandas face is just so freakin precious lol I love them ❤💜🙏🥰
Excellent pieces. Thank you.
Elephant’s are such a loving species to me!! Just love them..
I always wonder if these people with these awesome jobs ever sit on TH-cam for two straight hours😂
I love animals … so I love when videos of them are posted. Especially wolves! They have a special place in my heart ❤ 🐺
Wonderful episode
The way we test grizzlies for their health is funny. We are the aliens bro
The 🐻 Bears of all kind are so cute !
Until it tears your face apart.
YES THEY ARE DARLING, ESPECIALLY THE CUBS LOL
And "cuteness" is one of their most important characteristics!
They'll turn anything including you into calories to survive.
