Bears Simone, Milo & Luca - Season 2 Episode 1

The Bears are back in town!
A quick recap: Bear Simone, whom I've known since she was a cub, started bringing her first ever cubs Milo and Luca for short visits to my porch last year, mostly in the hope of scoring some birdseed.
Here they are again, after their long winter nap has finally ended. Everyone looks healthy, playful, and curious as ever. I'm pretty sure this won't be the last we see of them. Stay tuned!
Maybe it's just me but they seemed genuinely happy to be back and just hang out for a while.

[@ChiliSSP]

It’s amazing that she trusts you so much! How she actually walks off and let’s her babies walk up to visit you unattended is such a gift!!!

[@MatthewGeier]

We had an experience like that with wild possums when I was a kid. Our balcony was a dominant female's territory. She got fruit snacks from us. It was HER spot and she defended it. When she had babies, as soon as they were large enough, she would leave the babies with us and go off and fight off the other possums trying to encroach on her territory unencumbered with little ones. At one point she got a serious injury (probably a dog bite) and she let my mother treat the wound. They are not dumb most of these animals, they learn who their friends are. Just have to remember that they are wild animals and have powerful ways of defending themselves. Always treat with calm respect.

I was worried when only one of the “cubs” was following Simone at first. What a great success, Patrick! The family visited you! I would swear that the cub on the porch knew that you were scolding him, not threatening him. I think the cubs remember you - especially after getting your scent up close.

Simone, Goddess of the Rotund 🙂 She and the cubs look great. She didn't bat and eye when you scolded the cubs, pretty amazing especially considering she hasn't seen you all winter. I'm glad to see that everyone made it through the winter and look forward to more summer vacation home movies!

[@TheRivrPrncess]

Is the first cub to come close to you Milo? Sure was "talking" to you today. Loved the sound. I think the cubs were checking to see if you were as firm with limits and boundaries after hibernation as before it. And they got their answer. Yes, Uncle Patrick is still loving, but firm with the same limits and boundaries. So heartwarming that they still feel comfortable and safe getting close to you, but still are cautious as they should be. And amazing to see that your vocal discipline of the cubs did not make Simone think of you as a threat. Shows she trusts you a lot and respects you. She looks so healthy and beautiful.

OMg, Milo and Luca have gotten SO big over their long winter's nap! It's so precious how the one cub is still so shy, and Simone is just happy as a lark grazing in the yard and dreaming of fresh berries and veggies. I can't get enough of these videos, and I'm literally just on the other side of the mountain here in Tennessee, but I haven't seen a single bear this year as of yet.

11 months ago it was "omg Simone bought the cubs!' and today, yet again. I feel stupid for saying "What a change" but they are enormous compared to last year. I love that you let them be curious, because that nose to camera action is such a joy. That they are still wary of your touch is excellent. I love their furry faces and that by having them on the porch you have given Simone some well deserved down time. It must be hard with two rambunctious chillun, eternaly hungry, roistering after semi hibernation. Thanks for the uploade Patrick, hope your and your family are doing well, and looking forward to spring and summer.
