👑🧸👑 🕯️ Otis Come Home!!! ❤

[@lynedwards8705]

Feels like the end of a magnificent era. Still a part of me hoping to see him again next season. Run free Otis. A legend. ❤🐻

[@debjohnson6332]

Sweet, old Otis. In my heart forever. 💔 Thank you for this!

[@jmcnature8114]

My pleasure!

[@shannonconnolly563]

i love the last image of him running into the distance. in my mind, he is still running, and holly and now 402 are running beside him. thank you for making this.

[@jmcnature8114]

You are so welcome.

[@srvntlilly]

Awwe, I was doing so good and then I see your comment and now you've got me bawling my eyes out. I miss them all so much. 😭❤️

[@ykmaggie]

Holly is gone too?

[@srvntlilly]

@@ykmaggie She didn't return this year, and she was in her late twenties. We don't know for sure. If she doesn't return next year, we can pretty much assume. 🥺

Ciao Otis!

89 backpack 🎒 reminds me of 480 Otis sometimes.

Otis was larger than life: Otis created community ❤

[@nunyabiz-]

Well said ! One might say Otis created this community. Coalesced all the elements. Gave us a more unified cause, with a unified voice.🌞

[@gatina7713]

Thank you so much for this tribute to the most beloved bear in the world, dear Sir Otis!!!!! It was love at first sight back in 2016 when I fell in love with Otis. He was the very first bear I saw in the cams. Hypnotizing the salmon. I miss you so much buddy!!! Thank you for always being there for us. To calm us with your grace, class, calmness and great patience. You teached me so much about patience, tolerance and humbleness. You were loved more than you'll ever know. Thank you for sharing Otis with us.

[@jmcnature8114]

You're very welcome 😊

[@geo_animalvideos]

Love this!!!! Thanks for putting together! Loved his spunky side at the end of 2023, was a lot of fun! 28 "Mini Otis" is awesome and did real well the beginning of this season learning from the King! 👑❤

[@GT-mn3bx]

Otis chasing those youngsters off his lawn many times last fall. .I never seen him run that fast!

[@gatina7713]

That was so funny 😂❤❤❤

[@theck672]

I loved Otis and 128 Grazer night fishing during 2023 season. Which was my first season with these incredible bears.

[@jmcnature8114]

Same here!

[@s.b.francis905]

Beautiful. Thank you for this. ✨🥰💗🐻

[@Cissy99835]

I don’t know if I want to live in a world that doesn’t have Otis. He brought this old lady so many smiles. The Office will never be the same.

[@gatina7713]

The Office will never be the same.

[@katanderson8594]

Otis will always be in my heart he is such a special awesome bear, I pray you are happy and healthy🐻🐻🐻🐻💓💓💓💓

[@srvntlilly]

This was so sweet. I want to believe Otis is his daddy. Then we'd have a piece of Otis to hang onto, just like 503 and 402 and Holly altogether. Thanks for this. 🥰🐻🧸🥰

[@lindasturm699]

After watching the tribute to precious momma bear 402 today on the Otis Fund raiser and now seeing this it is almost too much.😢This season was not the same without my favorite bear dear sweet King Of Katmai... Otis. Oh how I miss him.🐻👑❤️

[@jmcnature8114]

Me too 🥲🐻❤️

[@nunyabiz-]

I figure we see beloved Otis all the time - in his offspring young. And we must care for them as if they were Otis himself ! 🌞

[@gardel2526]

Started watching because of Otis just last year. Miss him❤

0:31 Who is Mini me now? He looks just like Otis. And Otis being so tolerant is amazing. It was awesome to see little guy snag a fish live. Learning from the King.

[@jmcnature8114]

Mini me is 28E he was first identified by McKate as "E", so the number and letter have stuck. That was one of my favest memories!

[@GT-mn3bx]

@jmcnature8114 I just watched some vids of 28E. Looks just like Otis still.

[@GT-mn3bx]
