Explanation Of Mother Bear Protecting Video.

[@AdAstra321]

Thank you for the follow up, Brad. Your wise, matter-of-fact explanation was comforting. Paws crossed that the mom reunites with the 2nd cub.

Mother bears are truly amazing. Taking care of the babies searching for food and constantly watching out for the boars

[@gregsutton2400]

I like how as you talk your head is on a swivel keeping your situational awareness.

[@wellthisisintringing9910]

Brad. You were there and have been there for many years I have seen.. I would trust your knowledge over any. Geographic differences in habitats and bear families/communities I would think affect different groups of bears ie: Yellowstone, Katmai, Canada etc. In my opinion you know these bears the best after being with them, studying and observing. Thank you for the update! them

Grazer 128 in brooks falls is the ultimate example of the ferocious mother bear

[@JUNEYMOON9881]

❤ Thank you that was a incredible video. This turned out okay.

[@jerrygrappi4676]

I was under the assumptions that the males killed the cubs for food but also to get the mothers would go into heat for mating propose.

[@bradjosephs]

Yup, many people believe it, but all bear experts agree it is just predation

[@nojorooney]

A lot of other animals such as big cats and horses mostly do this only for breeding purposes and eliminating the competition while they are young, but with bears it is mostly only for food if I remember correctly.

[@chaddobson7056]

I was just sitting here thinking about how much I would love to make a trip to Alaska just to see all of mother nature’s beautiful animals. But, I’m definitely packing!😂

[@bradjosephs]

Not on my trip you won’t. None of the guides carry firearms, and for ffs the clients aren’t allowed.

[@GT47179]

Lions and hyena planet 😮

[@WooRidersDg]

Hello

[@keystring]

I follow you on instagram and thoroughly enjoy your insight but sometimes guides are too confident and think they know better.

[@Sage2lo]

Sore face for sure😂😂

[@lemondropkid6175]

it's hard to watch but bears are apex predators, they got there by being good at hunting. I love the bears, respect the interactions in their environment and how they manage to carry on so successfully. We humans think too much sometimes!

[@TR0UBLE-SH00TER]

Your explanation. There is no consensus, even among biologists and nothing has been debunked as you claim. Truthfully no one can say exactly why that boar was attacking those cubs. Experienced opinions are fine, but that's all this is. Fantastic footage.

[@lilyd1010]

That is absolutely true.

[@lilyd1010]

Absolutely correct. There are 2 major "theories" n that debate will go on forever. Or...we could just agree that we imagine they kill for repopulation and/or hunger. Point is really, Mama bears are incredible n we admire their skill set n devotion. (IMO)

[@snappingbear]

How do you know if there is a consensus or not?

[@snappingbear]

​@@lilyd1010"kill for repopulation?", um, no one believes that and I'm not sure at all what you mean by two major theories? What are they and what scientific journals or proceedings are they published in?

[@lilyd1010]

@@snappingbear So u speak for everyone? I didn't think I had to clarify - kill for repopulation of their own gene pool. As for the rest of ur questions, I said "(IMO)" in my opinion. Not a debate. I haven't claimed to be an expert

[@sonyagorniowsky8317]

Eventually they find each other with in 20 minutes or less sometimes the cubs will baaa like sheep 🐑 or something in that nature and let the mother know I over here

[@snappingbear]

Not always, I've seen it take MONTHS. We also have evidence that females will abandon cubs as has been seen at Katmai and other locations. For example, after bear 856 attacked 39 and her coys she didn't reunite with them as a cub was seen in a tree long after the incident. We don't know if she ever reunited with them. A dead cub was found but no one knows if it was hers. She disappeared and didn't return to the area. She was seen the following Spring with no cubs.

[@betsyduncan5606]

The bore kills the cubs so that the sow will go back into heat so he can breed her to produce HIS cubs, You are wrong it is not just for food. Food is a perk.

[@bradjosephs]

No it is just for food. And it’s spelled boar. 🤣🤣🤣
