This video makes me smile big time every time I watch it. Did you folks notice that squealy bear shut up as soon as Rick placed him inside his warm jacket? He was cooold for a few seconds.
I still can't get over what a sleepy sweet face Mamma Bear has.I hope she and her wee ones will get to live out their lives unharmed and in full. Thank You for all the good that you do Rick Mercer. You Truly DO make our world a better place:)
Rick Mercer is one of the best comedians and he can have fun or make any situation funny. The one with the bears is great and be sure to watch the one with The Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They are all great
Momma Bear and her three very young cubs in the wild of northern Ontario , Canada . Humane wildlife experts taking a winter bear census right in the hibernation dens. Besides the cute 6 week old baby bears (eyes still closed). The guy (Rick Mercer) delivers some funny lines.
Agree. That's why I took photos and videos for animals who live in the wild (deer, chicken, turkey ...) and put them in my children's book to show them what are "real" nature creature. They talk to me too: voice of goats.
@CampCook12345 This is one of my youtube favorites. Every few months I come back to it. Rick is very clever, and it is also obvious that he loves the little bears. I love just about all furry mammals ..... but I also have nothing against hunters. We have an enormous overpopulation of deer in the eastern USA, for example.
this video is adorable. i can't believe the baby bears are so little. i just came back from the state of Virginia and i was hoping to see a black bear but unfortunetly we didn't but it is ironic that i just happen to have this video in my email box. so glad they sent it to me.
Thumbs up number 41, Yoko. Rick was very clever, talking/joking about the shovel, the jab stick, a "double dose," and hitting the ranger over the head and running if the mother bear did try to come out and attack. But I bet she was pretty groggy (though clearly awake), even before the jab stick pinched her. I have heard that their metabolism slows WAY down while they are hibernating. Besides, she was vastly outnumbered, too.
@GungHo1032 "I wonder how many thousands of dollars are spent every year, just so we can know exactly how many bears there are, and how much they weigh?" I'm pretty sure it's just done to give the people who really run the world a good laugh. "Yeah, uh", giggle giggle, cough, "we're going to need you to count and weigh all the wild bears in the hemisphere." "That will be your job....thanks for stopping in..." door closes .... hysterical laughter breaks out .....
I've watched this video before. They cut out the line after 2:46 where Rick says "I think we should have the gun." Can always count on the CBC to rewrite history.
@YokoPolaris Thank you for that. Such a nice counterpoint to those here who assume that trained scientists and specialists in bear behavior know less than they do. It's particularly amusing when a gun-toter insists he never sets food in the woods without a firearm capable of killing a bear. That's someone who either doesn't spend much time in the woods or doesn't spend time there except to kill the wildlife. Go science!
Wait until they are about two or three months old; I've worked a bit with orphaned bear cubs and they are mischievous as hell, LOL. They also smell bad.
I miss seeing these on TV. Rick Mercer was and still is a great Canadian.
"Are Canadian bears the only ones with universal healthcare?"
LOL
They are adorable!
"Can I name them?"
"Do I have to put all three back? Can I keep one?"
Too funny!
This guy is so much fun to listen to.
This video makes me smile big time every time I watch it. Did you folks notice that squealy bear shut up as soon as Rick placed him inside his warm jacket? He was cooold for a few seconds.
I've watched this at least seven times by now, and I am entertained and awed each time. This guy's got a great style.
I still can't get over what a sleepy sweet face Mamma Bear has.I hope she and her wee ones will get to live out their lives unharmed and in full. Thank You for all the good that you do Rick Mercer. You Truly DO make our world a better place:)
I couldn't stop grinning. Wonderful story.
Rick Mercer is a national treasure.
I'm surprised at how big the collar was, you would think in todays technology that they could make it smaller.
Remember Rick, you don't need to outrun the bear, just the scientist.
LOL!! Funny!!! XD
🤣🤣🤣
What an incredible experience that must have been.
Absolutely love this. Rick is a great "host', super sense of humor.
This is one of my favorite videos of all time!
THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST /FUNNIEST YOU TUBES I HAVE EVER ENJOYED.

You always make me laugh Rick❤️
I swear, the things rick has done in his career. Ranging from tagging black bear babies to flying in fighter jets!
I'm glad I was informed of the huge amount of vicious animals AFTER I went for a dogsledding expedition and slept in that park for days.
I miss this show.
"we came we saw we protected a speces", well at least untill the Queens guards get them for hats!
Awesome and he was hilarious
One of my fav videos! Rick, you are amazing!
Thank you for the education. Glad to see a positive outcome for the bears and cubs instead reading they are being killed in their dens.
♡♡♡♡
OMG....The baby bears are amazing....so beautiful to see Momma & Babies in their home....ahhhhhhh.
The little bear cubs are very cute!
I wish he was still on. He's spontaneously funny
How wonderful ! Thank you!
This was a great video! Very educational but delightfully funny!! Loved it and will watch again!
Can you imagine Rick Mercer as a kid?? Must have been an amusing handful !!!
Not only funny as heck but really quite interesting.
This is great.
I give it 10 thumbs up.
Coolest animal video I've watched in a while.
“Pull on its ear” Is that like “Don’t poke the bear”. What wonderful work!
Very technical experience, you have the jab stick and I have the shovel.
This video is much more popular than the Cockroach Tagging one.

Cute. Cute❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The cubs are so cute.
What a great educational video
Love it!
this is hysterical and wonderful and funnier than all get out.....
Americans must be apoplectic when they hear “we don’t carry fire arms, we have a shovel”
Really enjoyed seeing the hibernating bears!
How sweet are the little cubs. I'm a teddy bear lover.
HAHAHAHA "The creaming one is Danny Williams." brilliant
Nature is wonderful!
*GOOD ONE. Awesomness level 100 reached.*
this MIGHT be the cutest thing I've ever seen!!!! :)
Agree. That's why I took photos and videos for animals who live in the wild (deer, chicken, turkey ...) and put them in my children's book to show them what are "real" nature creature.
They talk to me too: voice of goats.
Loved this episode!
+Terri Rankin Me too Terri :) Rick restores my Hope for the rest of our species.
Wow those cubs are so cute!
I like the way Dr Rogers collars the bears better, with trust and food rewards.
That’s beautiful! Amazing life experience. 😊

Rick Mercer is very funny but an amazing video of how they tag bears & their cubs.
omg those sweet babies! precious!
Adorable cubs!
They poked the Bear to many times. Awake. 🐻. Yes.
Rick, is fantastic! I really enjoyed his commentary. Thanks, for posting this.
most amazing clip
My best friend used to live in Algonquin IL. 40 yrs ago. We went snow mobiling, it tipped over on me, I was pinned underneath
Funny guy gets & puts baby bears.... nice.
My friend Roxanne shared this video with me! It is cute...Canada's finest!
this video is adorable. i can't believe the baby bears are so little. i just came back from the state of Virginia and i was hoping to see a black bear but unfortunetly we didn't but it is ironic that i just happen to have this video in my email box. so glad they sent it to me.
Well Rick that is the best report I have ever seen you do...
Well done...
:)
baby bears are sooooo adorable
Animal form of alien abduction.
Give them spaces and leave them alone! We try 🤔
Ever so cute bears. Very funny man that.
Great video.
Yeah, I'm a little late, but such an awesome video, love this guy!
I could watch this video 24/7 !!!!
So cute and a bit funny!
There was recently a tv show on BBC about bears with a similar perspective, The bear family and me.
it is truly amazing what becomes available to the world to view. Thanks
Interesting and fun video, the cubs are so cute.
On RMR the vids are broadcast in a studio...in front of an audience..hence the laughter
Great stuff! Rick mercer for PM!
He is Hilarious !! Great video TY
05:39 looks like they used a vice to crush the baby bears head :(
Guess this is what they mean by "Shovel ready" projects. Rick finally found one!
Canada and its inhabitants are earthly treasures! Truly North America's finest.

You are a national treasure.
I'm American and I heart Canada!
Who's here for Fat Bear Week 2022? Me I guess. 😜
I love Rick Mercer - from Halifax, NS
Haha, that was one of his best! very good.
Nice story. Good one!
I am ridiculously jealous of Rick right now. Most biologists would kill for this opportunity!

A shovel, to shovel all the shit I've been dealt.
@YokoPolaris
Thank you for that. Such a nice counterpoint to those here who assume that trained scientists and specialists in bear behavior know less than they do.

Trolls are so cuddly...
Wait until they are about two or three months old; I've worked a bit with orphaned bear cubs and they are mischievous as hell, LOL.
They also smell bad.
Bears: fking UWI ( unidentified walking idiots) 🛸
Remember, I don't need to outrun the bear. I only need to outrun you.
So damn cute. Like cats.
Rick Mercer just gets cooler and cooler!
