How old do wild grizzly bears get?

- For most that spent their entire careers in her home range, were lucky to catch a glimpse of her unless during a capture. This bear, # 39 was remarkable how she used populated areas, and came roadside only between the hours of 11pm to 6am, and then would spend the rest of her time in cover by rivers and lakes or in the alpine. She was so shy and elusive, and even with a GPS collar on her for two years, finding her was impossible. I studied the data and found routines and patterns that allowed me to see her briefly over the years. Her elusiveness made me come up with her nickname, "THE GHOST". I last saw in her in 2019, she was 29y/o. I didn't return to the area in 2020 and received no report if she was still alive. She was an amazing bear, truly special.

The lady asks "is that bear allowed to be there?" It's a grizzly bear ,she can be where ever the hell she wants 😂😂
Welcome to tourism. LOL
@@TheBearGuyCanada I thought the same thing she kinda sounded like a real jerk. That 🐻 wasn't hurting anyone by being there. Just as the original poster says it's a grizzly bear🐻 Any way what a beautiful old girl she was. She had a very soft face and eyes. She was a smart bear🐻 Thanks for the video
where did she expect the grizzly bear to be? Downtown by the bus station?
But she has the right to be there? Entitlement. She can be there but not the bear!
I would have told the woman to walk up and say hi to the bear.
What a good bear. For 29 yrs she avoided people, stayed off the tracks, and roads. Hopefully she raised a bunch of smart, elusive bears like her.
I really appreciate how the narrator shows a tremendous amount of respect for the bear by not being to pushy as not to stress her out in her old age, kudos to you sir !
Thank you very much!
She's a very smart bear to know to stay away from people
built for survival. I hope she passed her traits to her offspring
I have a feeling she's still out there. You'll probably see her in 2021 rocking a "I survived 2020" hoodie or something.
Optimistic, lol.....think we all need a hoodie like that!
The hoodie will say that " she survived 2020, but the owner of the hoodie did not " lol. It would be nice if she is still out there. Very gorgeous old lady 😍
Good thing to hear how you loved and respected her. She was a smart girl and stayed out of troubles! A wonderful uplifting story!
Awesome animal, I hope she is still out there. IF not she had a great run, and life. God Bless her. Thanks.🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼
@ 4:15 = that is fantastic = I initially thought, "She's not looking to good" then looked at the whole scene and came to the conclusion it was early Spring and she may have just been coming out of hibernation; hence the look = coat and slimness. Then you put up the note about not worrying too much about her appearance. That was excellent. Thank you it was a relief to read.
What a beautiful-ol-bear. You'd love to be able to just go up and give a great big hug. Maybe in Heaven.
I hope she is still out there fighting the good fight. I hope you'll update if she is spotted again.
She’s in bear heaven by now 😇
Amazing seeing a healthy beautiful and smart old bear. Few get to live that long unfortunately. Thank you for this!
Ahhh. Sweet Girl. I pray she is doing OK or else in Bear heaven and her journey there was peaceful.
What a life to live. Can’t even imagine all the crazy stuff she witnessed or encountered in that amount of time
Thank you for sharing! Beautiful girl she was!
Hopefully she passed along the great longevity gene to her offspring and lives on through them.
"Is that Bear allowed to be there?
Bears aren't known to be big rule followers.
😆
Funny, but their behavior is very consistent. It is almost as if they had a sense of ethics.
Thank you for these films…I love bears and seeing this elder is special moment for me.
Glad you enjoyed it
You can sense her grace and composure... We should all be that way with time ♡
Pretty girl!
Amazing to see her and know of your love and respect for these amazing creatures🇨🇦
Wow what a great run for a bear! 🐻 Thanks for the video great job!
thanks!
Lovely footage. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing! What an incredible creature to survive that long! Beautiful.
Thanks for watching!
Great video!! Thanks for sharing! RIP bear
still moving pretty good
Great vid and what a beautiful, smart old lady she has become...
She is so beautiful. What a testament of how intelligent and cautious this bear has been to still be alive at 29 years old, in this video at least. The constant threats and dangers to these bears are real! She is or was a survivor!
You’re like a storyteller and a very good one👏❤️
Gracious gal , good for her to see so many favorable seasons.
" Is that bear allowed to be there?"
"No ma'am, would you volunteer to hand it this citation?"
I can literally just watch bears for hours, I find them so fascinating. They each have their own personality and way of living/surviving... for example one mother bear will protect her cubs to the death whereas I watched a vid of a black bear that deserted her cubs while one was being eaten by a grizzly (Can't blame her she was tiny and someone needed to stick around for the cubs)
Beautiful!!! This may sound goofy but when I looked at the bear’s face I could tell it’s female. She has beautiful female eyes. Thanks for sharing and I hope she is still out there.
What a great life she had...nature at it’s finest 🐻.
Nice to see an old bear. She's beautiful. Hope she's still around, though last video she looked real thin.
That is a very good story thanks
That was very cool to watch such a beautiful bear.
Hey Bear Guy, I love your work. Where you film, and Duc is rugged bueatiful, untouched wilderness. My family visited and drove thru part of it in the late sixties, I'm sure it has changed enormously.
Keep up the excellent work and Best of Luck in Your Endeavors. Wyo, Robert, 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🌈🌈👍👍😎😎🙏🙏
Thanks!
Amazingly Pretty lady 🐻
Btw Karen *YES* that bear is allowed to be wherever she wants to be.
Very cool, nothing but respect for these amazing critters. And the people who work with them.
Thanks.....it's a mixed bag on here with who loves and hates what we do, lol. Lots of negative comments.
@@TheBearGuyCanada : Im a hunter from WI, VERY happy I dont live in Grizzly country. Our Blacks get enormous, state record is just over 800lbs, but for the most part they are shy and dont care for human contact.
Thats not to say I havent had my share of too-close-for-comfort moments, but they are not near the threat a Griz can be.
Seems odd to me people would dislike what your crowd does, all the animals are here for a reason and all deserve to be studied. Im glad we have you guys around. Subscribed, keep up the great work!
@@repetemyname842 , thank you very much.
thanks for this great pics and info.. 👍
5x⭐️
Thanks for sharing💕
Bear beauty. 💓🐻😊
Thanks for the information, enjoyable. As a hunter it's nice to think not everything ends up shot,personally I would never bear hunt after having a cabin in Northern Wisconsin and seeing the lack of challenge it would be. No sport, sorry but the truth .anything you need to bait or have dogs run up a tree is not hunting 😒
Finally someone said it. Most hunting doesn't seem tough. Just hide out and shoot something just looking for food
There are exceptions but it’s illegal to dog bears in most US states. Also baiting of any game animal is prohibited on US federal land and most state and/or public land.
Just saying that so people don’t think bears are baited and dogged all over the US.
In Canada baiting of bears is routinely the way bears are hunted. I’m a hunter as well and I couldn’t be proud of killing a beast that had its head stuck in a bait barrel. However, there are some good arguments for baiting bear like it allows the hunter to judge the bear’s size, sex, and if a sow has cubs. It also probably facilitates a hunter getting a cleaner shot on a bear.
Whoa! Now that's a full grown 🐻 & and not a teddy bear. lol.. Looks like a 1000 lb bear. Magnificent! only not to close 😁
In Banff, they don’t get to 1,000 lbs. some Coastal grizzlies may, not likely for a coastal female. The biggest brown bears are further North, like Kodak Alaska where they are called brown bears. They are still actually blonde to black. That area has the genes and food stocks to allow them to grow that large. Northern Russia and some of Northern Europe is similar.
This bear might be 450 lbs (ish?) and he grand daughter/daughter was a very fat female in the video!!! She is doing well. She may be 500 lbs, but usually only a boar gets that big here. There was a 10 year old garbage bear from decades ago that had mauled a few people and subsequently hunted and killed (sometimes this is really justifiable). He was exceptionally huge for the region at 761 lbs. He was a nuisance bear in the days when garbage was not kept so secure as it is today and had become human habituated , generally a death sentence for a grizzly bear. Black bears are somewhat different in the same conditions. I read about him in a book called Bear Attacks, by Stephen Herrero. An exceptional read. You are entertained in a way that also teaches you sooo much about Grizzly and Black bears. This bear that grew so large so fast attacked an escaped convict even. Random coincidental karma there!!! Haha.
Here in 2022 and wondering what became of this lovely bear? Doubtful she's still out there, but one can hope...
What a fine old bear!🐻 She had a long "career"!😂 Funny, never thought of being a bear as an occupation.😁
It must be interesting and difficult to track bears. Lots of passion and science....thank you for the special upload, it was first-rate. I enjoyed the head-on shots of the 28 year old matriarch @ 3:54 to 4:05. Remarkable to be able to track her for so many years. Also, it seems tracking collars on many animals across many continents, even as late as 2020, are large and cumbersome. Why are collars and tracking devices today so oversized and unwieldy?
To do this work you really have to be invested and passionate about bears. Understanding how they use the land, the generational trails they use, goes a long way to anticipating where they are heading. I really enjoy it.
That Gramma Bear is beautiful! How long was her collar on? Do you know how many Cubs she had? You were blessed to be able to have her in your life🥰
She only had a collar on for a short period before she got it off. Because she was so elusive and stayed remote during the daylight, her cub history is vague. Her last cub was when she was around twenty or so, but it didn't survive. She may be the mother to some of the prominant females in the area though.
Wow that tears at my heart AMAZING
This “old girl” will tear your face off. I like her she has spunk.
Truly amazing,,, the ghost , what a story she could tell... 💚💙
She was a remarkable bear. Was around people as much as the other bears but only from 11pm to 5:30am, than she'd sneak off, always there but never seen. Staff would work years, some their whole careers without seeing her unless during a capture. I studied her GPS to establish routines and that's how I got to see her the first few times. During my time, I saw her around 15 times, each time was special.
Looking pretty spindly in the end. Almost 30 for a Bear is a good long run. I had a molly mule get that old.
Thank you
Hello from SanDiego
That was awesome I really enjoyed that😉
Glad you enjoyed it
Is she still alive? Congratulations for your beautiful work!
I would highly doubt. 25 is a good life for a wild bear, she pushed well beyond that.
This is an awesome tribute to a fabulous lady. If she has not badly damaged most of her teeth, or have serious arthritis, she might have made it into her thirties.
That is amazing. She had a good long life 😌
Bless her, awesome creatures
Seeing a grizzly in the wild is incredible majestic. Seeing a radio collar ALMOST ruins it
Bless up bear momma!
She is remarkable
Awesome! 👍🇨🇦🐻💜
That’s amazing I hope she still alive
I think an old bear means a smart bear.
To the Bear Guy,. She was Truly a Monarch of Her Spieces. She lived a Fruitful, very Prosperous, and full Life in the Wild. Mostly Free, to do as She pleased. May She Rest Peace fully.
Beautiful girl.
Love to hear stories like this whish more steps would be taken so more could live a longer life like this amazing creature.
Great video. She looked a tad under weight in 19. Hopefully you will see her again soon.
Incredible female...
What an amazing bear…I think she’s my age in bear years…we are certainly, white and grey, lol. Go granny bear!
Hi, how long does a grizzly live in the wild in Canada? Is there a difference between the various states? Thank you
This video is from Canada. A grizzly here has the same lifespan as down in the States. 25 years
@@TheBearGuyCanada Ok I understand, thanks so much for the reply!
The last picture you showed it look like she lost a little weight in her face neck area she's strong she's probably still out there I hope she's not suffering in any way her last years. Like arthritis things like that 💞💞💞
I am curious. Why do people say "hay bear"? Is that a true safety thing, does it work?
Seeing that number tag 🏷 on her ear was heartbreaking just because it’s not natural in a fight it can be torn
They are essential to track and monitor the bears.
@@movingup2118 is it essential to track and monitor bears?
@@zakattack467 Yes 🤣🤣. How else do you think science progressing with animals like this. The need to monitor roaming, longevity, fishing routes, pouching ect. Only the tip of the ice berg
bear...."I was there the night that loon Timmy and his, ahem, girlfriend?......went down.."...."it wasn't pretty.."
Thanks
thats awesome.i wish to be so lucky.
So pretty.
what kind of monster would go into the far woods wanting to harm an animal like this?
The worst kind; the sanguinary, sadistic serial killer euphemistically referred to as a "hunter." They often claim to be helping preserve a species by killing individuals. May they attain great longevity by being shot themselves.
THIS IS NOT THE BEAR WHISPERER IN CALIFORNIA, USA.
You have no bear whisperers for grizzlies in California, the only one that remains is on the flag. But I believe you are talking about Steve at Mammoth Lakes?
Glad to see a bear survive that long specially in todays over populated wilderness areas with so much human encroachment and habitat destruction
Just after the 4 minute mark I heard a Sasquatch. She heard it too and looked over where the sound came from
lol, coyotes were howling and cackling cause they wanted the deer.
She did look a lot thinner in 2019 .
I hope shes doing well. How long do they usually live?
25 is the normal age for a wild grizzly, she exceeded that.
By the time they get in their 20’s their teeth are shot, I’ve seen a few hunting videos and the grizzlies teeth are warn down.
They never get a break from humans
Have you seen her in 2021? Thxs
I reached out to colleagues prior to the start of this season, as I am not there anymore, and she was not see on the wildlife cams in 2020.
4:09 - last seen at age 29.
It is my understanding brown bears r one of the few animals that never stop growing size mostly depends on genetics n food source n type age. At her peak what was her est. size n height n weight?
It takes them usually to 7-10 years old to fully fill out and be at their healthiest, this is when they start having cubs. At this stage they would range between 350-425 pounds prior to den and to do so in good to great condition for having cubs. She was structurally a big female, and she was in a location she was able to access several roadkill carcasses a season, she would push 400 pounds at den. Once they get into their twenties they struggle to hit that optimum weight, sometimes due to competition, tooth wear and decay, and overall health. Her location, and ability to share with another female on the carcasses, (possible daughter of grand daughter), kept her on the landscape to almost thirty. She had an amazing life for a bear.
life takes it's phases all part of life nice
"then" should be spelt "than". Good report.
Is that in Yellowstone?
Canada
Well she has gained all these knowledge of the land and the wisdom to stay away from humans and dominant male bears, as long as she can secure her food source, she can keep chug along!
She looked a lil slim at 29
She never met Timothy Treadwell so she had that going for her.
2023 updates?? Seen her?
None that I have heard. My guess she went into den at 29 years old, was sleeping over her 30th birthday and remained in the den, but that's just speculation.
"Is that bear allowed to be there?" Lmfaoooo
No she's not " go tell her to move , lady " hahahaha
Stupidity. Let it shine genius.
🥰🥰🥰
Wow she's my age! A 90's bear 😆 she remembers pay phones..... Just kidding
ol girl earned her spot as matriarch ❤️
wow what a great bear and video thanks
thanks
Thats as close to heaven we humans get....
Dang grand kids
