we may have to grin and bear it
Stop building on animal habitats! Start implementing climate change policies that are not human centered!
Bear
Lives
Matter
Good the bears are taking the lands back
Not as dangerous as when people have in counters w a certain race
Trumpers?
@@davidcat1455nah basketball people
The bears heard that women on TikTok were less afraid of them than men. Bears are just looking for dates. Grizzle Grizzle!
Exactly
men like you are the reason women pick the bear
@@nekotenko11 Go ahead, pick the bear! See if I care, Boo Boo.
Not the bears fault.
Didn’t women on social media ask for this?
best comment lol!!
read the room
@@nekotenko11 Read it. Privileged humans overreacting as per usual, with no solution based dialogue. Grizzle Grizzle. 🐻🐨🐻❄️
Bearz eat people don mez wif them
Good , who cares about camping it’s stupid and boring
So are you.
you’re doing it wrong then😅

It’s the Fishing Boats Over Fishing the Salmon…Open Your Eyes Humanity…
LOL this is not it at all. I grew up in alaska. The salmon fishing has been in dire straights for over a decade. the returns haver been breaking records, they are so low… the bears act the same. lol silly assumption
Cute❤
You can easily find videos people regularly feeding wild black bears around their home. Those ‘animal lovers’ are actually endangering entire neighborhood, Not only for humans but also for bears. Keep your distance, do not interact, do not welcome them.
I’m from Richmond Virginia and I just saw a snake in our backyard I’ve never seen a snake in my backyard before and it almost hurt our 3 dogs
Encounters with Illegal Invaders on the rise too.
Pretty soon there’ll be intermarriage between humans and bears. Why not? The US is already off the crazy charts. By the way, I don’t live in the US, thank goodness.
Only ONE deadly black bear attack in California history? Hard to believe actually.
Black Bear lives Matter
yup that lady was prop a racist karen who loves polor bears only
The lady was prop a Karen who loved polor bears only
Wild life are getting over run we are the intruders.
Pg&e keeps starting fires where can they go?
Bear population increasing. Habitat and food supply decreasing… Not rocket science…
so the bear population is increasing because of their habitat and food supply decreasing?
The people are increasing in those areas, not the bears.
More bears, less Californians.
AMEN! to that!
More bears, less tourists
Bear population needs to be controlled better. Simple.
No, the people population in those areas need to be controlled. People are encroaching on bear habitats. People are living next to and visiting wilderness areas that are bear habitats without a clue as to how to behave. People leave trash everywhere on the beaches and the trails around the area, idiots blast their stupid music on the trails & beaches around Truckee and Tahoe which disrupts the animal’s ability to function normally. I and others pick up full trash bags of trash that idiots just leave on the ground at trail heads, and all over the beaches at Tahoe. The Truckee & Tahoe areas are way too overdeveloped with people and it is limiting the natural areas we have for bears to roam and it is ruining our beloved wilderness areas.
We are the BEAR we keep moving into their area….
Poor bears. They r just trying to survive. Searching for food
Don’t feel bad for them they wouldn’t for you
Dumfukers
That’s not a Black Bear in the thumbnail, that’s an adolescent brown bear. Probably just left it’s Mother and now it’s on its own
How can I tell? One is brown, the other is black.
Wow, you do not live in black bear country do you? Black bear/Brown bear are named for their color, but are to wildly different breeds. The thumbnail IS A BLACK BEAR. They are called cinnamon. Black bears are small, rarely aggressive. Brown bears are usually brown, they are VERY large, and they have a hump over the shoulder blades, that the thumbnail does not. Anyone living in black bear country should know that.
@@Temporal_Assassin >Black bears are small, rarely aggressive. Brown bears are usually brown, they are VERY large,
If you run from bear, climb on the tree and bear climbing to you – it’s a black bear
If you run from bear, climb on the tree and bear slam the tree to shake you down – it’s a brown bear
If you run from bear, but can’t find a tree – it’s a polar bear
😆
@delta_glider4362 If you run from the bear, climb a tree, and the bear stands up and looks you in the eye, it is a Kodiak bear.
😉
@@Temporal_Assassin yes, and that bear is BROWN not BLACK. Are you color blind? I have BLACK bears in my trash all the time, I have never seen a BROWN BLACK BEAR.
The bears are not getting to close to comfort its the people who live in their homes
Yeah, and they are only black bears. They are not really a big threat, and yes, we have them too, where I live. To be exact we also have grizzle bears. But guess what the freaking polar bears are now doing? They are migrating south and mating with the freaking Grizzle bears.
What makes it their homes we are humans they are bears they are inferior
I lived in bear country for over 40 years. It’s all about food. Need strict garbage laws!!
They are starving🥀 what would you do 😢
Encounters due to feeding them or climate change.
We had a bear who visited everyday in my backyard. My old cat would wait for him! The bear would climb up the apple tree and shake them down! Then he would roll around and eat them all next to my cat!
A public safety? You guys are invading the few lands that they have left. A Pachama safety it’s actuality the pandemic that it’s killing the planet with a 99 % of probability of total planetary extinction. Who its the pandemic? The humands.
Black bears arent crazy…brown bears are the crazies
STATE ANIMAL OF CALIFORNIA ITS NATURAL
Just hungry
#everyone
Stop making bears the wrong way! You built too many house in the forest
😮😮😮😮😬😬😬😲😲😲
UPDATE: the woman that was killed IN her house by the black bear had been feeding cats on the front porch of her home for some time, which attracted the bears, she had to hit a bear to drive it away from her house before, and had several incidents of bears trying to break into her home. so she shd NOT have been feeding cats on her porch, and as that whole area had constant bear trouble, she shd have moved into an apartment or AWAY from that area at the first sign of trouble, not ignored it!! she ignored the obvious!!
Exactly, that woman should have called animal control to remove the bears and have them relocated to the woods. Seriously, we can do that, and the bears can either take a trip inside a life bear cage wake or take a short nap and car ride. The utilisation of bears should not be allowed unless there is something wrong with the thing, like an illness or medical reason. People being stupid should not be one of them
leave the bears alone
People are encroaching on bear habitats. People are living next to and visiting wilderness areas that are bear habitats without a clue as to how to behave. People leave trash everywhere on the beaches and the trails around the area, idiots blast their stupid music on the trails & beaches around Truckee and Tahoe which disrupts the animal’s ability to function normally. I and others pick up full trash bags of trash that idiots just leave on the ground at trail heads, and all over the beaches at Tahoe. It is unbelievable how stupid and thoughtless people are. The Truckee & Tahoe areas are way too overdeveloped with people and it is limiting the natural areas we have for bears to roam and it is ruining our beloved wilderness areas.
Nah the world is our habitat God gave us superiority over them
Sad settlers killed most of the Bear in Cali.
California doesn’t have a bear problem….they have a PEOPLE POPULATION problem. STOP BUILDING MCMANSIONS FOR 2 PEOPLE TO LIVE IN. There’s 50 states, go live somewhere else
Don’t move into their territory
The 🐻 were there first
The main problem is their numbers are growing rapidly. It’s all because of access to food from humans. We have to do better about keeping bears away from human food. There are more bears per square mile around these hot spots than anywhere else in the wild. If the food is there, they will grow in population. Also encouraging and giving out more bear tags would help as well, they have no predators at this point.
GOD is a miracle worker Amen 😅
Maybe they’re evolving into submissive animals like dogs. Let’s be friends. I’ll tell you how it goes.
The bear is literally on our flag in Cali. We have to co exist
Must be summer time…
Stop building homes in their area..we don’t own the planet we share it with them!
leave those bears alone, human are over populating bear territories
It’s their state period!
Over-pumping from the aquifers has lowered the water table to the point that springs, ponds and small streams have disappeared. The hill creatures are seeking water, and the predators are also seeking water and following their food supplies. Further, without available drinking water, grazers and browsers leave in search of water, and do not munch back the wildfire fuel.
We need to establish small year-round ponds up in the hills and back country; NOT for human recreation, but to encourage a return to abundant grazers and browsers. When deer, wild goats and sheep wander in herds again, and all the other plant eaters rebound, wildfires will decrease. A coordinated approach is necessary to counteract the thoughtless damages we’ve done. Merely restating the old status quo and letting “nature take it’s course” cannot work in the new paradigm.

Tiktok: “If your going to be stranded with a bear or a man who would you choose?”
Women: “We don’t need men, so we will choose bear!”
Stupid humans: “Bears in California are getting too close for comfort.”
Bears: “Humans are taking away our habitat.”
Way too many Californians now.
They are hungry and need to find food. The easiest way is to go to houses.
more bears, less men, isn’t that what women wanted?
Chris Berman from ESPN: look at that rumblin bumblin stumblin the big fella is at the 40 the 50 40 30 20 he could go all the way touchdown Bears
Yeah dawg bears exist, they go places. Wow.
Black Bears didn’t come into your area. YOU moved into THEIR AREA. Think about that before you bulldoze another forest to build another sub-division.
BTW – Some of those bears were Brown Bears !
No buddy I don’t know if you realized but the earth is OUR AREA BUDDY WE ARE NOT BOUND TO CERTAIN PIECES OF LAND
It’s. Shoe polish ,
