MANY parents struggle to maintain discipline in their home. But spare a thought for Jim and Susan Kowalczik whose main charge is a huge 1400lb Kodiak brown bear. The couple look after the 9ft giant at their orphanage where they have dedicated their lives to rescuing and releasing injured animals. They now care for 11 bears, including Kodiak brown bears, Syrian bears and black bears on their 100 acre estate in Otisville, New York. Most were rescued as cubs from breeding programs or nature reserves that closed down.

I’m originally from Middletown NY, close to Otisville. My Dad is a mason that had to do a job for Jim and Susan around 2018. As a single father, he took me and my brother to their plot of land and I was lucky enough to get to hand feed these bears and see how gentle they really are. I was about 10 at the time and now as a 15 year old I can only remember how great of an experience this was.
Do you know if they still do this?
@@-Angi3_Panda- Jimbo dead 😿😼😢😩
Your lucky to be alive, kid!
May God protect these two noble human beings for taking care of the bears and may they never harm them. Just seeing its size is scary but incredible at the same time.
hope they're still alive
Yes,they are both amazing.
Are they still alive?
Some other commenter said Jim is dead, I'm not sure

That's a bold move, sir

"The bears enjoy a daily diet of meat..." says the narrator as the man puts his arm inside the bear's mouth.

It made me cry when they got emotional about the bears they have lost, you can see the pain their faces and hear it in their voices. Those bears are their children, so it’s no different from the pain of talking about lost children. 😢
This is THE MOST impressive human\animal connection I have ever seen! Bravo!! What an AWESOME family you have!

Jim's reaction to talking about their losses... God dammit that crushed my heart. It's OK, Jim. I wish more humans were like you, sir.

What a lovely couple. The trust the humans and bears have of each other is amazing. Nothing tops kindness 😍
He is such a fearless guy (and she is a fearless woman) but he starts crying when talking about the dead bears. Thats ture love and dedication. Awesome.
I agree
Don't let him watch the Revenant
That was moving. shows how much love these guys have for their fellow creatures.
It got me very emotional when he had to walk off while talking about some of his bears passing away 😭
I think that they don't attack them because like they have been with them since they were babys so like they was always taught to be kind

How flipping cute is this family!??
Well, it's been over 20 years and they haven't been killed by the bears.
They won't be bumped off by the bears.
Those bears are diplomats.

I don't believe that the bears would harm the owners on purpose, but in 20 years I'm a little surprised there hasn't been an accident.
i cant bear to watch some of this

Sadly Jimmy, the 1400 lb bear, passed away in 2018. RIP Jimmy. They must have been so heartbroken.
💔🐻🌈
rest in peace jimmy the humble bear. May you have a good time above there!!!
:( that's so Sad.
I like to think bears is your Cuddly toys you Cherish.
Or your Homie that wants a Big Hug.
Rip Jimmy.
RIP 🙏❤️ in bear heaven
Dave Beale u can’t say that, they must think The same about us when humans go hunting them how do u think they feel ?
This one almost made me tear up. Such a cool story. It warms my heart to know there is still some true kindness and love in this f*cked up world. I just about lost it when they introduced Jenny. Living embodiment of a real-life teddy bear! So sweet. Respect, love, compassion, and loyalty. So many people have become addicted to looking for (or perpetuating) the negative parts of life. The rest of the world could learn a thing or two from this family. ❤
Nothing beats a big bear hug….literally.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

The key part of this video is that they are passionate but also have a place dedicated to the bears. They aren't taking a bear out of the wild and putting it in their living room, they made this sanctuary where the bears can exist and thrive just in a different way. I really admire these people.
You tell em wirt
Yeah I'm digging for a reason someone could thumb this down . the main bear was born in captivity by a mother who lived in captivity which means in the wild , jimbo would have died long ago since not even his parent was equipped with the skills to survive in the wild

Люблю всю вашу семью: Джима, Анни и медведей. Когда умер Джамбо очень долго плакала, он родной душе был, и даже сейчас ,как вспоминаю, не успокоится. Пусть бежит по радуге, и легких любимому мишке облачков. Здоровья вам и вашим мишенькам.
Are you russian? As an American we love your brother bear interactions too!
Да, я русская. Люблю Джима и его медведей Джамбо, Лео, Дженни, также, как и нашего русского медведя Монсура, которого вырастил с 1 месячного медвежонка Андрей.
Сейчас уже 2023г. И до сих пор я тоскую по Джимбо, когда вспоминаю его, слезы наворачиваются на глаза. Где ты сейчас, наш Джимбо?
"We've had Jimmy (a Kodiak bear) for 21 years now." That is incredible. That's such a close relationship. I almost feel like, after that much time, they could run off into the wild and survive as a great team. 😍

watching him cry over his dead bears is so sad

The bond between people and Animals can be exactly the same as real family. Its hard saying goodbye to family or friends.
I still cry over the animals I've lost and it's been years. I couldn't imagine having something in my life for 20-30 years just for them to pass away.
He is like a big bear too.
heartmelting to see this big guy cry.
@@metroplier2670 Its worst actually, when you realize that animals are so much more vulnerable than other humans, the precious life of an animal become more important. And the sentient aspect of animals with their loves, hates, fear and etc., makes you more responsible towards theses guys. A domestic cat/dog/rabbit... dying, ill or suffering, I think its more terrible than a baby human, because the world is adapted to us, its usually no big deal, and they will grow, but animals stay vulnerable from day 1 to the last days.
Это невероятно. Восхитительно. Мы утратили связь с миром природы, а ведь мы все едины.. так было задумано .. и такие люди, как вы дают нам понять это. Огромная вам благодарность..
You can see how much care for there bears by the tears that are showing for love they have Givin them over the years

@@greenvillegreer247 HA, the biggest dog ever!
same here - if you do not cry it means that you never loved that animal
I pray for this couple. I pray the bears never turn on them, you can tell they truly love their bears
Bears are pretty intelligent creatures so they can sense and appreciate the deep connection that this couple has. Sure, that danger is always there but it's all about how long you train, how they have been raised, and understanding how the relationship with the animal works. The more dangerous the animal is, the harder you need to work to achieve the relationship and do you're research.
@@evanurena8868 how bout reptiles since they dont have the same brain functions that other animals do, like feelings towards there owners, just look at Mark Zuckerberg as an example of an emotionless reptilian.
As long as they feed them plenty and bear never gets hungry, they'll be fine.
Bears are primarily brawlers, not ambush predators like tigers so they don't get the pounce instinct that big cats do when they see a person's back so bears are much less dangerous overall. The bears would probably only hurt him if they go too far with playing since they may not know their own strength.
Don't worry one the bears already died I guess ...rip .
God bless these people. They help all these animals. Congrats guys you both are awesome like your bears 💪 🐻
How wonderful you have both dedicated your lives to the bears. I wish you both the very best 😊

I commend the great work both of you and the bears are doing. So often we misunderstand beasts, very much including bears, who have such a gentle, human-like side to them. Thank you for sharing!
I hope they have really good and strong fencing
I can't believe something can be so terrifying and cute at the same time.
Yes.
Exactly
@Kristen Lopez it can be done, but in comparison taming a deer, fox, bobcat and a whole host of other animals we normally would not keep at home seems easy. Here it’s not just the level of inadaptability to normal environs that makes it difficult, but the level of danger.
Dogs have been conditioned for living with humans through thousands of years of selective breeding. Comparing dogs to bears is ridiculous.
I could say the same thing about dogs. They’re always so cute, and yet so fierce. Don’t even get me started on the tiny dogs. They’re so clingy to the point where it feels like it’s gonna bite my nose and/or nuts off! I don’t like to think that a random tiny dog is gonna run towards me, pounce right on my face, and tear my nose right off!
