12 Jul 2024: Disabled bear returns to Brooks (explore.org) 

Poor guy... He's a survivor.

He is resilient! I hope they finally give him a number this year!❤

Hope he heals.

Bless his courage.

I saw this live … I feel for this bear 🐻 and hope he/she can make it… 🙏🐻❤️

It must be hard on this Bear to survive in the Wild. 💕🐻

😢😢😢 breaks my heart. 🙏🏽❤️

Bless his heart 😢

He should fish in the river. Abit easier to get around. Bless him 🙏

That’s so sad 😢

Broke a hip at some time? Or a knee joint ? Hope he heals enough to survive. Keep going stay strong !!

The survival skills and resilience of these animals are truly inspiring...

He looks remarkable healthy. Nice coat, good layer of fat. I wouldn't say he is thriving, but he is living a decent if limited life.

Slow and steady mate.....

Poor darling, it’s a shame s/he can’t get some help from some of the wildlife services about. I guess as long as food finding isn’t too much of an issue, survival is possible.💜🐻💜

Animals don't feel sorry for themselves. Ever seen a three leg dog get around, same as a four leg dog.

I wonder what happened, looks like maybe hip injury

As if life isn’t hard enough 😢

This one looks skinny for his age. He was barely able to make it across the river.. exhausted when he was finished crossing.. this bear will not be able to acquire the needed fat to survive winter..

It does not appear he is building a fat reserve, only surviving. Very sad to see.

Oh wow, what is wrong? I never heard of this bear. Sad!

He cant talk to ask for help but so many see who could possibly do something.

The most bad ass bear in the woods goes to---

not whether you win or lose but how you play the game

Animals know nothing but to accept cruel fate. They don’t question reality like we do. It’s living in the here and now quite literally for them. He may be slow but all his limbs seem to be moving. 🤷🏼‍♀️

А что с ним было

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I wonder what human is responsible for this sweet bear disability ..probably still bragging about the one they hit but got away.Now the bear has had to live with the human touch for the rest of its life 😢

Oh, his hips don't work. 😢

Its a skeletory issue. He could have a genetic defect that causes his spine to curve like that. An old injury that fused discs even. I see it in other animals at the wild life center and in domestic animals at the vet office. Because you feel your human need to assume things doesnt make them accurate. If this bear was near death the LAST THING he would do is walk into a highly populated area like the falls. He would stick to the calm beach and river to fish or eait for the scraps to float down stream on busy days. If he was as sick and weak as some are assuming like other loner animals he would take himself somewhere secluded to die .... And yes i know what i am talking about i lived in bc and volunteered at a orphaned black bear sanctuary. Ive done field work monitoring and tracking. Ive studied for years to increase my vet tech certification to be able to help wildlife. They don't need human pitty if you care then donate to katamai or your local wild life rehabber.

What happened to him???

Why does knowone help the bear that could? There must be away they do everything else collars and tag ears.

❤🎉😊

And we complain about stubbing a toe !

So sad cant watch.

On the bright side, he gets to use handicapped parking now.

I think I can outrun him
