Brooks Falls Katmai Bears Kung fu fighting. Footage courtesy of Explore.org

No Bears were hurt in any clips shared in this video, just some hierarchy jousting and some fun practicing clips used. I did not use serious fights on purpose as I never want to see any of our Brooks Bears injured, in the rare occassion that happens. Thanks explore.org. Please donate to the Otis fund at Katmaiconservancy.org. Thanks for viewing!

Bucky catching the fish after 856 walked away was epic.

[@lemondropkid6175]

one of my fave clips😄

[@geo_animalvideos]

Couldn't help but use that clip again! Love it!

[@Forest82Gump]

agree 🤣

[@lb1460]

I had totally missed that. Thanks for pointing that out. It was great!!

[@dbsnyder4503]

That Lefty dive was epic! I really hope he comes back to the falls this year!

[@GrazerisMySpiritAnimal]

OMG! 273’s Runt threw me over the edge. Too funny. Excellent video!!!

[@crisam9947]

[@user-xv3ic9ns5d]

[@huckleberry6192]

[@BBQAndButter]

I nominate Geo for funnest Katmai bear videos!

[@geo_animalvideos]

Thanks !!😃❤ Glad they bring you a smile!

[@lauries.2319]

Delightful!! never heard more appropriate music on a video! ty

[@GrazerisMySpiritAnimal]

Geo! This video was a huge hit during Thanksgiving festivities. We had my Katmai playlist running in the background. We are planning to visit in August 2024. The kids asked to play this one again a few times asking questions about the bears. Next generation of Katmai support! 🐻💜

[@geo_animalvideos]

That is awesome! So glad you enjoyed it, Happy Thanksgiving! ❤

[@GT-mn3bx]

2:50. 2 bears I miss dearly are comical adorable bear 812(not at the falls this season) and 775 Lefty.

[@geo_animalvideos]

Yeah definitely a bummer that neither were around! 😏 Hopefully next season!

[@wendyhood1006]

And Peanut I hope she is doing well 😮

[@corenekay5776]

Very fun, Geo! Miss it and you very much. See next spring.

[@juanita5344]

This was AWESOME!!!! great upload. 👍

[@kathynordholm5928]

164 is one of my favorite bears but I see he is going to be aggressive has he gets older he will not back down from even the biggest and catch a fish in the process

[@gatina7713]

Bucky is rough. He rules. Otis still has it. Grazer slap to 856 was worth framing. The runt wins my heart ❤

[@tedfio1tedfio1]

Big old 856 has the footwork of a boxer like younger 68, I hope 68 is well and comes back to falls.

[@ikejennings1154]

Man oh man!!! I started, 👀, katmai ,brooks falls bout a month ago.. 128 was my intro, 747/ 856/ 151/ 164/ 402/ 435 Then I saw the epic battle tween 68 & 747, anda couple other 68 vids.. He was agile/ great demeanor, just was a great bear. THEN I saw he hasn't ,bean sighted since ,fall of 2019.. No one has any clue of what happened to the great 68 I hope he cones back too..

[@tedfio1tedfio1]

@@ikejennings1154 Ya, 68 was one of my favorites :)

[@ikejennings1154]

@tedfio1tedfio1 They said, 68 ,had bean spotted 👀, only coming to the falls, in fall, as healthy as he was, as young as he was, smh, Noone knows what happened to em...kinda weird...maybe one day ,68 will appear...Hopefully he didn't become ,some coward hunter's trophy!! Thanx for ur reply..peace

[@tedfio1tedfio1]

@@ikejennings1154 It is quite possible that 68 found a spot in Katmai where he stays close instead of coming back to Brooks Falls. If you want to see another tough bear, KZbin "24 BB vs Norman Brooks Falls." I was at Brooks Fals in 2006 and BB 24 was dominant for 10 years until Norman got the best of him. It was a lot less crowded then, with no walkways like today. Peace!

[@ikejennings1154]

@tedfio1tedfio1 Yes!! I saw that bear, 24 , it's not about 68 or any bear being the toughest. We saw how 68 & 503 hadda great bearship, and others...From the vids ,I've seen of any of katmais bears...68 just had that it factor, & not just because of the 747 brew haha....He seemed very , tolerate of other bears, and he seemed imo, that he really thought things out, for whatever he was gonna do that day!! Like you text, 68 ,might be hanging round, just being 68.. Thank you again for your very helpful replys.!!

[@lb1460]

Has to be one of my fave recent vids...especially the little baby cubs "kung fu fighting." Too adorable. Very clever vid, well done. Thank you😊❤🐻

[@geo_animalvideos]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 🙂❤

[@lemondropkid6175]

clips that show 151 Walker enjoys the shuffle, they are such big guys they could do some damage if they wanted to, playing is a sign of intelligence.

[@geo_animalvideos]

For sure, they're very tactical, rarely would it come to that!

[@taramcbrearty2918]

Love this so entertaining great song our bears rock❤

[@europaeuropa3673]

856 uses his monstrous stature to push everyone else around.

[@vixengypsy]

Still wafting 2 years later! Can't wait to talk to my Bear Fam, 5 days left!

Walker’s booty at 0:24 😮

[@Summit1962]

Great Video❤😊

[@violetg7315]

164 is under every big boar’s radar.He has all these fighting practices to become a dominant boar after he matures into his second decade!

[@geo_animalvideos]

I think he will definitely move up the hierarchy ladder, not to top but he'll be in top 5 imo. Love him either way!❤

[@JH-ox9pf]

This is fantastic! Thank you!

856 a bully😜

[@deew7014]

He’s not a bully he’s the most dominant bear , it’s normal and natural in the bear world . Survival . Seems only humans bully .

[@nadiarepich5199]

No one really gets hurt

[@geo_animalvideos]

There are no injuries in clips of this video and very rarely are. Hierarchy jousting usually 🙂

[@nadiarepich5199]

@@geo_animalvideos Yes, only hierarchy jousting indeed. Any video taping of real fights where someone gets hurt is only human expressions of our own violence. So these videos are only jousting & OK to tape. "When we are surrounded by, & wallow in, a culture of violence, we similarly become numb to violence. To deny that is absurd. And that is why we stand around & record a violent episode on the street on our smartphones rather than intervene to help." Gary Francione There are people who tape real stray cat fights or raccoons vs cat & they could have stopped the attacks easily by throwing a stone or stick at someone's face rather than getting a kick out of a tragedy. Someone filmed a cat fight between two lynx. You cannot stop that fight, but put down the camera & don't film. Someone got really hurt in that fight. Cats are domesticated animals & do not deserve to be abandoned strays & do not deserve to be put in the position to defend their lives against wild animals or other strays. In any case, I do hope dear sweet Gentleman Otis makes it to 2024. If people will stop eating the salmon & fish that belong to them--not us. 😼

[@trailrunner925]

that background music way too annoying and distracting.

[@geo_animalvideos]

Then turn down the volume 😉

[@trailrunner925]

@@geo_animalvideos turned it off. Was hoping more to hear the water rushing and the bears huffing.

@@Divinedarling10 Music is much like humor; what appeals to one doesn't appeal to everyone. My son loves death metal music; I hate it. Some people think ridicule of another is humorous, others find it repugnant. I'm sure there are people that like that style of music, but it limits your future audience to those that share that taste. It's something to keep in mind if the goal is to increase subscribers, which means appealing to a broader audience with very diverse tastes.

[@trailrunner925]

@@Divinedarling10 non sequitur, nor do I think manners are "subjective"; there are cultural standards, some of which are universal.

[@Perpetually_Inquisitive]

The clip with 747 and Bucky was hilarious. Bucky deserves Mr. Congeniality he doesnt back down but you see 747 not teally trying either and they just stop and sit 😂😂. Bucky is just that guy in everyone's space but also charning as hell that he seems to get away with way more then the rest.

[@geo_animalvideos]

A unique Bear no doubt! Very loveable!🙂
