They haven't won a Super Bowl since January 26, 1986.

When I lived at Tahoe years ago a friend I worked with had a black bear break into his house. It was going to be a hot summer day, so he opened the windows before he took off for work. The bear came in through the screen on the open window by the dining table. First thing he did was polish off the bowl of fruit sitting on the table. Next he devoured a new 10 lb bag of dry cat food. Then he went into the living room, pushed the rug up into a bunch and took a giant dump on the floor. Finally he fell asleep next the fireplace, which is how my friend found him when he got home. He made the TV news. In his interview he said "Well at least he pushed my rug out of the way before he took a dump on my floor." lol

I love bears. They’re just so cool looking and pretty.

Animals have the right to live out their lives and enjoy to walk the earth just as much as anyone else.

You didn't emphasize how really smart they are. Couple of examples: there are "bear-proof" steel canisters for people who camp in bear country. People have a tough time opening them. But, a few years ago, in the Adirondaks, a sow not only taught herself how to open them, but taught her cubs! Another. My car was parked next to my house deep in the woods of northern NH. A bear actually figured out how to open the door via the recessed handle and stole some nuts I had on the seat (stupid me!). It came back the next night for another try and opened it again (but there was nothing there). He finally stopped when I started pouring ammonia near the car.

An interesting fact about bear "scat". Black bears will have nuts, berries, and other forage. Grizzly bear scat will have little bells and empty cans of bear spray.

Had two sows that had Cubs two years in a row. It happened in 2019 and 2020. Have known the sows for years and have hundreds of photos of them. I’ve been watching bears around my property for 20 years and all other years the mother gave Cubs the boot after 18 months. I was very suprised to have witnessed 2 different sows having twins two years in a row.

We did some off grid camping in Colorado for the first time and I was so worried we would have a run in with a black bear. So after doing some research people online had recommended wetting a rag with Pinsol and hanging up at camp since bears apparently don't like the smell of pine oil. Well at about 2AM I was awakened to a black bear going through the bed of our truck and was trying to open a bottle of Screwball whiskey. ..turns out they don't give an eff about Pinsol and enjoy peanut butter whiskey.

Here in the Northeast, in areas with black bears are not hunted, they have lost their fear of humans. This is a bad situation, as an example I had one in the bird feeder, couple years back I went out to scare it away, had my shotgun loaded with buckshot only problem was it wasn't afraid of me. I had my shotgun shouldered, and was yelling aggressively at it. I closed the distance to about 20 yards, which resulted in it poppin its jaws at me. It wasn't scared of me one bit, about this time my little 20 pound beagle, who was inside the house let out one of his extremely loud bawls, the damn bear nearly turned inside out and took off like a bat out of hell. And never returned. Go figure got to be something about the hound bawl, it scares the crap out of them. I was happy cuz I didn't want to kill it. I just didn't want to hang around my yard. And attack my wife or kid

I watch bear videos all the time I have always loved them they are beautiful

Where I live in Northern British Columbia bears are more common than people. One put me in a tree and what saved me was a cigarette believe it or not. I flicked it from the tree and when it smelled the cigarette it immediately ran.

I live outside Asheville, NC. We have abundant black bears. Last I heard there were an estimated 200 black bears living inside the city limits. I've seen them numerous times in my yard and on occasion in my garage when I left it open--he was after my garbage can and nearly made off with it. Because of their black coats you tend not to see them. If I do see them moving I've noticed that they will step behind a bush. If I hadn't seen him do that I'd've never noticed him because they blend in with the shadows. I've also walked right past them, within ten yards. Had my dog not told me that he was there I'd never have seen him. Good thing that they are, generally, skittish.

I live with black bears in NW Washington. Usually see cubs in pairs this year there were 5 cubs in their pack. Until one was taken last near season! Now there are 4 together! They destroyed neighbors standup BBQ by game of pitch around in circle! One morning I couldn't get my front door opened, looked out window at black bear fast asleep against my door on my rug! I let him sleep an when out the back! He use to climb just like you showed up tree to watch me in my driveway!

When they click there teeth. Back up. It's a warning that you are too close.

Thank you for taking your time to make this ❤️

Great facts!these helped me a lot 🤩👍🏼

Yup, the one in the beginning of the video looks like the one in my back yard occasionally. What a beast it is

Unlike Grizzly's playing dead with a black bear will certainly get you dead. Fight like hell and maybe you'll survive.

In our area a person riding his mountain bike fast down a mountain trail slammed into a grizzly bear. The bear thought that he was attacking her, and killed the biker.
