- OTIS Returns! (Shows up on Camera, I mean)...November 2, 2023
Otis is seen on the Brooks Falls bank, with his normal, slow walk speed. Then, he disappears from the camera's view.
A few minutes later..., 811s are startled and run up the cut-bank. Soon after, "Somebear" runs up the hill too. Surprisingly, they are being chased, by none other-- than our Oldie Goldie, King of Katmai, The One. The Only. The OTIS!
He looks so great! I wish he didn't waste kcals running, but possibly he was eating a treasure and saw them as competition?
Just elated to see OTIS so late in season...because the cameras are still on...YAY!
Brooks Falls in Alaska's Katmai National Park is the best place in the world to watch brown bears feasting on salmon as they swim upstream to spawn. Find out the best time to watch live and learn more about Katmai and its brown bears on Explore.org @ goo.gl/fhMmQy

King Otis making sure his kingdom is in order before he goes in to hibernate
I gotta say, in all the years I've been watchin-this DID make me laugh a lot! He did a lil trot downriver, but I had no idea he had the gumption to go as quickly, and as far. He really looks good too. YAY for cams still bein on!!
How wonderful it is to see 👑 Otis again and gosh he can run!! My sweet 👑 has still got it.Thank you for this.❤
GO, OTIS!!! I love that guy!!!
Academy Award for best picture and best actor, Otis
Just when they said he hadn’t been seen for 2 weeks … he shows them he is STILL THE KING 🤗🤗 and STILL VERY MUCH HERE… That’s why he is loved so much by so many. Hail King Otis 🥰🥰🥰. Thank you JMcNature for this wonderful video. 🙌♥️🙌
You are welcome! 😊
Wow! He can really move! The king of Katmai looking good before his long nap.
Hail @King Otis!
Loved this thank you.. King Otis looked great galloping away.
Otis not just a fat bear...but also a fast bear😊❤
He has everything !
Go for it, Otie!
So happy to see such a spry Otis. He is the KING!!
Otis my sweet boy! Slumber well this winter! Hope to see you next summer!
Who knew he could move so fast??? All hail the king 🤴 😊❤
He jus keeps on surprising us!
King Otis is our "Lone Ranger"...who knew? Way to go Otis!!! Thank you for sharing this amazing video with us! Your music selection is always spot on! ❤
So glad you enjoyed!
Omg! What!?! My boy is still around?? That tells me he’s been munching on fish this whole time down river and just decided to pop in at BF. I’m so so happy to see him! What a gallop!!!
😊
He's still got it! What a nice surprise! Eagles, Polar Bears and Auroras to look forward to, too.
@jmcnature8114 - Long live The King! ❤ Yep, so much to see on Explore!
Oh Otis. Best of luck pal with hibernating. See ya next year okay?
Good to see that the Katmai king is still munching on fish and fattening up for the long winter ahead.
OMGOODNESS!!!! OMGOODNESS!!!! It's the KING!!!!!! YAY OTIS!!!! Not only are you a champion salmon fisherbear...but as FAST as the WIND!!!! I LOVE YOU OTIS!!!! OTIS...OTIS....OTIS!!!!!
The music with Otis running made my day.
My hero!!❤❤
Thank you for these fantastic videos for King Otis Fans! Soo glad to see Otis kicking it up!!!!❤️❤️❤️
You are welcome!
Awww the old man still has it🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤. Please just make sure you come back next year Otis🙏🙏🙏
Out of my way there's dead ones down river to snack on while I float! Thank you JMcNature great share '
YES. King 480 Otis sure has had a big pep in his step lately. This makes me so happy to see as I thought he went off to go build his den. The King kicking up dust.😂 What a treat!❤❤🐻🐻👑👑
❤🔥THANK YOU for this❤🔥OTIS👑4EVA
THAT’S why Otis is the 🐻King👑. I adore this old bear, and am beyond thrilled to see him not just surviving, but THRIVING! In the 10 years or so of watching the bear cams, I’ve NEVER seen him gallop like that, and at speed!🐎
Me neither! My sis watched at normal speed and didn't believe it was him. I had to stop and show her his #7. So, I added another video of same event in slow motion for those who maybe couldn't believe their eyes! His "jingle bells" are another way of recognizing him too 🤣no doubt it's him!
Never underestimate King Otis he never stops surprising us with his ability to own his place in Katmai!
💛💚☺🐻
The good cardio, Otis and the fish egg geritol,..should be a spokesbear and pitch the sale. Love this guy🪶🪶🪶
I am 71 and in the hospital from Covid and here is otis the King running up a hill at 90yo
I'm sure sorry to hear you're in the hospital. I hope you heal quickly! Oh he's had many moments when he's walked very slowly...so, you take good care!
Thanks for this video!
Wowwwwwww. This made me so happy to see. Thanks for posting❤❤❤
I love seeing this behavior from Otis. He's obviously a spry old man. I've said it before... I believe he chases the younger bears to amuse himself. Kind of like grandpa chasing the grandchildren around the backyard. To be honest, he was probably just getting in some cardio and the other bears were in the way! 🤣
Oh how I wish we could read their minds. But, it's fun to make our own theories too!
Thank you for the video!! Otis just makes you smile❤
Thank you so much for posting this and to music, no less! It is great to see Otis can still hoof it when needed… he’s probably run more in this segment than during the entire summer 2023 season at BF! 😂
Best video on youtube!! Look at the old boy go. Looking awesome, King. Love you forever.
Well I thank you for the compliment. You must be a TRUE Otis fan🥰 if you think its the best! So glad you liked seeing the King of Katmai-(equivalent to 90 human years old) runnin up a hill and more!☺
He startled a Magpie too 😂 I love Otis!
Love this and him!!
Love this sweet bear. 🥰
I've been getting most of my Otis news lately by seeing your videos. Thanks for keeping me in the loop!
Slow down Otis. You need your calories ❤
Oh JM I came home and saw this thanks so much man I love Otis and at a gallop! As always your music is spot on. (Still carpenters ear worm from last time… I’ll forgive one day). 😂 Thanks again saving this one.
You are SO welcome for the Carpenters... "on the day that you were born, the angels got together..."😂😉
@@jmcnature8114 paybacks are coming. 😁😂 I’ll be up in the middle of the night again … singing your TOO much. 💜🤣
🎶 ...and they Sprinkled Star Dust in Your Hair....✨
@@girlboss7807 I can’t stop laughing to reply! 🎤🎤🎤
Saw this live. Didn’t realize then that would be the last time Otis would appear on a BF camera. Sure miss you big fella.
OTIS!!!! This is awesome. He looks soooo good! Glad this was put up. Is he chasing a ladywho? Go Otus.
First, the 811s take off and then, the next bear, is possibly 708? Her cubs maybe stayed put on the bank while she left. He yielded for them another time, so I just wasn't sure who second bear was. We will never know, the reason(s) for the chase. We are privy to so much on the cams, but this will stay a secret. :)
❤
Heart warming!
This may, in retrospect, have given the King a heart infarction.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for showing us Otis , he is the King. Take care Otis 🌟 ♥️♥️
They still fear the king! 😅
I think Somebear must have broken the #1 rule:
Don’t splash Otis! 🤣🤣🤣
Omg, I love this bear so much… I miss him every. single. day.
Otis says: age is an excuse, not a reason.
dont hurt yerself old guy
The original king of Katmai, along with her queen Holly
Thank you for such another great video! Otis is such an amazing bear. 😊 Maybe he chooses to stay away from the falls knowing he's older now & just can't waste time with the agression of the younger dominant bears so he fishes down stream. I saw what 32 did to 801? (I think that's who 32 got right out from the office) yesterday. I was thinking Otis probably would not had been able to handle that as well as much younger 801. Otis really did look good so I think he came out of hibernation just fine this year just chose to fish somewhere much more relaxed😃Yhanks again for great video...hey did they ever figure out why Otis & those other bears were running?
Does anyone know how old Otis is???
I figured he was already denned up...still time for some enterprising CZcamsr to set up a DenCam......:D
I thought he was on his way to den too. Usually cams are down at this point-so maybe they all stay a bit longer than we think? If they used the same areas for dens, am sure explore.org would love to set up cam. How interesting it would be. Just so happy we see them for so many months!
Aww, looking for a bedtime snack. Anybody up there ready to 'misplace' a jar of honey?
I watched this video several times. Was he trying to date that gal, who was running up ahead, LOL? Great guy indeed.
No, mating season is Spring/Early Summer. We all wondered about his uncharacteristic run. 😁
What has happened to Otis? Anyone know?
He is too skinny.
Mike Fitz, Resident Naturalist for Explore.org, said he looks nice and healthy. Hopes for Springtime and a healthy trek to the Falls. He needs the fat of Salmon for sure. Am staying super hopeful for him!
Hi Ho Otis and away
😊
