Hopefully they were taught the basics on how to find food in the wild, especially since it appeared to be winter time when they were released.

[@taylorm771]

Black bears have a kinder demeanor than most bears! Grew up around them. They're like the dogs of the bear world. Pit bulls, but dogs nonetheless. Rarely do black bears attack humans not as defensive action. If you get too close to their cubs or corner them, they'll act accordingly. But give them space, they'll just curiously sniff around and go about their business. Sometimes they'll waddle up to your campsite, seeing if you have food, but they don't see you as food (unless you are a salmon (are you a salmon? (how did you learn to use a computer???))) If one approaches you in the wild - e.g. hiking - stand up tall, arms up, make loud noises and leave the area in a calm but expeditious manner. DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT. This is a sign of aggression across all species, but especially bears. Especially grizzlies. Grizzlies are godless, marauding killing machines. Do not trust grizzlies. Do not let them borrow money. They will not pay you back.

This was such a special treat to see the development of these 2 bear cubs at such an early age and how they eventually became BFFs. My heart soared at each milestone reached and especially when they were released out into the wild to go be their best bear-selves. Thank you for all you did for them to let them attain this goal of freedom. Bless you and all those who give of themselves so that these animals get their best shot at being what they are created to be - expressions of their Creator.

[@marley7659]

Well its not true because the U.S also has black bear populations. Also some fairly large size communities have black bears consistently wandering through the city. They have become domesticated in a sense. Eating garbage and being naughty. Still dangerous creatures tho.

Cute video! Just imagining the faces of Dudley and Casper after the get exhausted from playing in the forest, realize they’re hungry, then come back to where their humans left them.

[@EdsterIII]

For everyone who thinks animals don't feel, or have emotional bonds, they DO! Granted once they reach the "BIG" STAGE when they can eat you, things change. Same with all wild animals. As babies they are adorable and "NEED" us to survive. Once they become adults, instincts can kick in and then ?? Your love for these babies is so awesome! I'd do the same exact thing if I was in the same position. I tried to save a baby bird as a child, but it died, and the "guilt" I felt as a little kid was tough. But seeing these Dodo videos, seeing how we can and do make a difference! Shows me there are decent people who still care for and love animals, ALL ANIMALS!

[@Todestuete]

There are plenty of adult animals like bears and lions that still like the humans that raised them. Obviously still danger involved but that bond does persist.

[@corbeau-_-]

the people who don't think about animal emotion are very unlikely to read your bit and if they do they will be in denial ;) Preach to the choir!

[@maryg.3957]

What kicks in is hunger, mostly, to cause and then teach that aggression. and of course adult instincts like you noted too.

Love this story. The way Casper was rescued then he made friends with Dudley and they had so much fun together. Then they took off into the wild together. I wish them both well and hope they stay close. These rescuers are the best. I would miss them, but it would comfort me to know that they were out there happy and free.🐻🐻

Yes, and that is what matters. Who knows, the Mama may have been like Jochbed in the Bible and even though the Pharoah's daughter took her son Moses from the river, Moses' own Mother, Jochbed was paid to raise her own son by the Egyptians. Maybe Casper & Dudley ran into their own Mama's in the wild. That's my prayer 🙏🙏🙏
