So I was searching documentaries about the great bear rainforest and I discovered your channel. I can tell you it's the best thing I've ever done. I'm a spanish girl studying biology and I'm obsessed with the Pacific North West because I love nature and I want to move there. I want to specialize in mammals and, to be honest, you are now my role model. My dream is to have a job like yours and to photograph amazing animals, and to make people aware about wildlife conservation. I hope one day I'll be living my dream! Thank you for creating this channel and for all the work you do John!

I love the ideas behind this video... but personally I feel the human exposure to these bears (even though it is for the RIGHT reasons) is still excessive and could be dangerous for the bears. I personally say "observe from a distance and leave them be." Being accustomed to the presence of people while living in BC could actually make them more prone to being hunted and killed. Just my opinion :) Keep up the good work!

You're absolutely right, they are a mutation, but of the American Black Bear. There has been some research suggesting their light coloration could help with catching salmon, as they can be harder to see.

Spirit Bear, protect them, for they are Sacred to our INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND ANCESTORS...and thus other cultures Need to do the same, Great Spirit gave all of us Mother Earth, our Native Brother's and Sister's were given the task to protect. They are trying hard.....we need a healthy balance of using our natural resources, and all humans in our country use them, but, converting over will take time.....Native Elderly keep working for your youth; its a hard battle but in the end you will stand tall and you will not fall!

How are they unprotected if there are hunting regulations? Every species needs to be managed for the benefit of the species itself. Too many bears hurts the bears first and foremost. There is a Goldilocks level (no pun intended) where they can have prosperous lives without experiencing the huge fluctuations between food decimation, starvation, and mass die offs.

I was out looking for Moose to take pics of one morning in NW Wyoming. I was sitting in one of my favorite spots for viewing them, hoping one would walk into the open from the treeline or the Willows. I have been to that spot enough to know that there was something along the treeline that didn't belong there. I couldn't figure out what it was; I started my PU, and it was in that second that I realized that it was a Grizzly bear. It looked up, saw me and ran parallel to the treeline before I could get a shot with my camera. It was a white Grizz. I thought I was seeing things. Does this happen?
@john6607 жыл бұрын
For sure, Catherine, there is actually an area is BC that is known for it's white/white-ish grizzlies.
