  • In Yellowstone, feeding in a meadow with her two cubs, a mother black bear becomes aware of an encroaching male. Male black bears can kill cubs in order to force the mother into estrus (fertility) and then mate with her. How will this mother respond to protect her offspring?

      I know. They constantly face threats and mama bears are always on guard. I get sad when they are separated when mama bears have to fight. This is why I do not like it when people interfere with their space.

    The whole “kill the cubs to mate with their mother” scenario seems ridiculous to me....what does the male do until she comes back into estrus?? Follow her around?? Then when her body has finally switched gears from nursing mother to fertility, she’d be in heat for several weeks and only fertile for 4-5 days (and those few days are the only time she’ll let him actually mate with her) so, even though it obviously happens with bears, as in many mammalian species, I just don’t see a male following a grieving female for that long. Brutal and wasteful, all at once.

      @Mark Reed Yes, something not so INTRUSIVE...that is the word. Research of this kind is good, but they should also have some feeling for the animals. In same context, have to say, I have seen a famous zoo in America. It was great seeing many common and rare animal and bird species. But felt, each one had very limited space to themselves....

    I think one of the bears must be someone pet it has on a collar. I know people find baby bear by themselves and they keep it for a pet. Maybe the bear got out of the owner house is close but I dont know for sure

      @halibut1249 Před 3 lety +2

      It is called a "research collar" in the vid. I'm sure the bears find them uncomfortable. Some people think they're pet collars, the bear is lost in Yellowstone, needs to get back to its human family in Pennsylvania. LOL.. It's prob just a tracking collar, maybe daily mileage, and a compass in case the bear gets lost. So it can get back to Pennsylvania.

      We understand from your comments that you prefer nature sounds to hearing people’s emotions. That makes sense since you’re watching videos for entertainment. If you had said that you prefer hearing nature sounds to family’s reactions, we would have understood. The reference to “always a big mouth woman” is the part that makes us feel sad and a little scared. We are all people with feelings and maybe we can find ways to express ourselves and hear each other without name calling and gender blaming. We hope you feel heard by us.
