Bear Simone - One Hefty Girl

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 พ.ย. 2022
  • Our Girl has bulked up so much that I had a hard time recognizing her! But yes, it's her all right, up two weight categories.
    It took her a few attempts to hoist her ample derrière up on the railing but she's a fighter and eventually succeeded. Only to clumsily knock the tray down almost instantly.
    I felt so bad for her that I just had to give her a little something to reward her for her efforts.
    Just don't tell anyone. Thanks in advance.

I woke up to the noise of the whole raining completely tearing off the porch🤣 was a Win for the bear though because all the feeders were on the ground too lol. Once she finished her snack, me, my gramp & uncle went out & fixed it & reinforced the railings lol

A little surprise once in a while for her is okay, as long as Simone doesn't come to expect it, I think it's all A-okay. Patrick knows a lot more than me, so he knows better. I would love to have a home in that area and witness the beauty and nature that is around there. Compared to the Illinois suburb I live in, this area is paradise.

Ah I can't wait for Simone to bring her little teddies along, we can watch them grow up into strong bears again! She's a good mother. I just hope she doesn't get as exhausted again as last time, it was heartbreaking the state she was in just before she kicked her teenage teddybears out and told them to fend for themselves.
    Her fur has recovered nicely and looks fine now, as far as one can see given it's dark outside. I love the pumpkins on the verandah - and wasn't it cute how she came up to say Hi, sniffed a bit, but when you said "no closer please", she went back. That's our girl! She's such a lovely teddybear!
    So nice of her to pop in to show us all that she's okay. I had worried about her too. I suppose she'll go into hibernation now, the little teddies will be born early next year, and in spring when they are old enough, she'll bring them round.

    How wonderful to see Simone again. She sure is a chonky girl now! I was worried she would somersault over the railing into the bushes! Simone is a very determined bear. I hope we see her again before she hibernates. Looking forward to seeing her with her cubs in Spring. Thanks for the video Patrick. 🐻

    She looks ready for hibernation. You’re such a good host Patrick. I think she really appreciated the seeds. She was one determined bear to get up and get to the seeds. Persistence paid off.

    I'm proud of Simone to see she is ok and she's stored enough food 🥑🥝 for those cold months. Simone sniffs to assure herself this is Pats 🏡 home. So nice to 😍 see she is drinking enough 💦 water . Hope she doesn't stay away too much longer than this last time. I was starting to get concerned about Simone's well being. It's better to see Simone looking like she's 9 months pregnant, as opposed to a return visit ( lost of weight) to see she has not been able to luck up on food. She gave us a reassurance.
    " Hey pop,. here I am if you were worried I've been finding fruits and scraps from time to time,I'm getting ready for the cold weather" Good girl!! 👍I'm impressed that her beautiful fur grew back in and filled in those spots that she was loosing her fur.😍Her chunky body almost didn't make it up the railing For a minute I swore she was going to rolly Polly, all the way down. Now that would of been some sight to see on video 📸 camera. 😲😁😆😂🤣

    I am always impressed with the level of trust Simone has toward Patrick. Here she sat to rest a long while with her back to Patrick. In other videos she brings young cubs to his porch and does not even keep an eye on Patrick when the curious cubs approach him. A rare relationship between human and bear.

    I agree with everyone that she may be pregnant. I love the way she just rests before coming upstairs. I just love her and enjoy the way you talk to them. This was a great video to wake up to. Thank you.

    • @chrisgullett4332
      @chrisgullett4332 ปีที่แล้ว

      No she is just getting ready for hibernation. How do you think bears sleep for 5 to 8 months? They get really fat by eating a bunch of food. If a bear cannot get enough food they cannot hibernate. Bears do not eat or drink or even relieve themselves during hibernation. What they do is purposely get fat, and while they hibernate their bodies live off of the fat. If you see a skinny bear in the fall, it means that bear is very dangerous, because that bear has not gotten enough food to start hibernating, and that bear will try to eat anything. So if you see a skinny bear in the fall, or a bear in the winter, it means they did not get enough food to hibernate, and they are most dangerous at that time. That is when people get attacked.

    I'm so glad to see her (and that's definitely her face), I was so worried, and then I just figured she was gone for the winter. I wound up getting my bear fix from the Katmai bears in Alaska, and their "Fat Bear Week", ironically. But now they're all gone for the winter. This was just the perfect icing on the cake. 😁 She obviously found some amazing source of food, lol. Her coat is just beautiful. She was so cute, shuffling back and forth on the porch, trying to find a spot to climb up. Sweet Simone, I love her so much. She has no clue that half the world is in love with her, and worried sick at her absence. You had me laughing so hard with that awesome, dry sense of humor. "You kind of look like Simone, but, geez Louise!" "Did you rob a food truck or something?" 😂 This was one awesome video. Thank you so much! 😊💜🐻💕

    She’s been eating well getting ready for hibernation! She’s also most likely pregnant! She went through a rough time when Milo an Luca parted with her! A male bear wanting to mate with her may have harmed one of them, that would explain her depression earlier this year! She looks healthy!
