I am sure, the researchers trust both, the fence AND a good gun/rifle. The important point is, that the fence saves the bear's life though and makes them learn to keep their distance from human smelling things.
A gun alone doesn't give you very good protection though, because it would require a person standing guard at all times. If you're in a tent wrapped up in your sleeping bag when a bear attacks, good luck getting the gun out fast enough. A fence and some kind of an alarm gives you more time to react and in most cases it will solve the problem perfectly without killing the bear and decimating an already endangered species even further.
Rifle n very powerful shot gun as back up, shot gun power should be formulated as very powerul with smoke to confuse bears who will eat U out Ur bone n nothing will be left! NOT cute about that!
The battery is an AGM battery (48Ah) charged by a solar panel. The energiser generates a current of approximately 100 mA at a voltage of 7500V. Touching the wires gives an unpleasant but otherwise harmless experience.
What if the bear came charging in really fast and busting through really quick if there was a person inside the fence? Could the fence prevent that type of attack?
No, it would not. Our system is semi-portable. A next step in safety is using permanent, sturdy poles. In our experience, a polar bear dashing in would be exceptional though. In the 14 summers that we use electric fences we had dozens of polar bear approaches and, if not scared by us, bears were cautious and touched the fence by nose first.
@@joukeprop I see, so their cautiousness and curiosity won't allow them to just bust through the fence like that. They have to check it out first to see if it's dangerous. Thanks for the response....and 14 summers? I'm jealous.
Mom was concerned when baby gets shocked. Poor fella but he's OK and they know it's not worth a shock. love polar 🐻
Those cubs have learned a valuable lesson.
A lesson that might save their lives one day. Stay away from humans
1:28 look how she came back to protect her cub.
Mama bear said, I told U do not touch the thing, I got shock! Let get the hel out of here!
These bears must be so confused.
Love the announcer voice
They're pretty smart
Funny how one quick zap to the snout can make a polar bear never touch a fence again!
CZcams: Wanna see bear pay respect to fence?
Me: Yezz
Electrity works always from garden to house and also in the North Pole. 😳😀
Bears thought it was some alien sorcery. It’s unreal how superior humans turned out compared to other animals
Ehm Superior? We have been destroying the planet for the last 100 years.
RUN! IT'S CHASING US!
I love your videos, ma’am .
I would like to pet one... if they would not rip me to pieces and eat me.
Reign of fire .polar bear .
I hope you get paid well to not have to do this long-term, something always go wrong if you repeat frequently enough
I wouldn`t trust my life to electricity. I would trust my life to Mr. Smith & Mr. Wesson.

@@isaT Amen! Well said
I'd be curious to know what kind of voltage/current you're using on those wires? That looks like a fairly large battery hooked up.

Is er wel eens een beer doorheen gebroken?
Wow Scary
