Dude, check your facts. Black Bears are not rare in the states. Their conservation status is "Of Least Concern". It's not unusual to see them in the Northeast.
@@MikeBMW We've always had bow hunting for black bears here (upstate NY). I had friends in HS that did it. It takes a lot of skill and courage. Now there's a regular bear hunting season as well to manage the population. They encroach on towns when the population gets out of control and it's dangerous for both bears and humans.
@@authenticpoppy Who encroached on who's areas? In Florida, there are strong measures to keep trash cans secured and reduce bear encroachment (they go to where food is available easily). It's kinda sad we care for our own needs and don't responsibly secure trash and other attractants that, otherwise, cause the bear population to wander into the areas they used to inhabit.
@@MikeBMW Read up on conservation efforts with regard to black bears. It might be different than you think. The idea is to keep *both* bear and human populations safe. I love bears and I adore seeing them in the wild. (When there is an overpopulation, it's not just about trash.) If you want to learn more about it, go to the NY Department of Environmental Conservation. They have tons of great information. Bears aren't defenseless. Hunting with a bow and arrow takes tracking skills, strength, aim, timing and a knowledge of the environment in which you are hunting. If you make a mistake, all you are going to do is piss off an animal that will rip you a new one.
American black bears aren’t extinct in most states. They are abundant. I’ve lived in 7 states and I’ve seen them in every one. Currently in downstate NY and just seen my 1st one.
Yep. I've seen them in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado, Arizona, California, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Missouri, New Hampshire, and Maine
What about the Growler/Pizzly - Polar bears are crossing with grizzly bears (a subspecies of brown bear) due to merging habitats and the offspring are fertile
True. But unless humans start to learn coexisting with other animals beyond pets and livestock, that is going to be difficult. I mean, we are seeing the "problems" already with wolves here in Europe. it is nice that they are slowly returning here, but farmers keep complaining about losing livestock and wanting the wolves dead - wasting huge sums of money on hunting parties instead of investing said money into reinfiorced fences to keep their livestock in and the wolves out...
My favorite will forever be the Sun Bear because no matter what they do, they always look like a human in a bear suit trying REALLY HARD to fit in, but failing at every turn.
You said that the Asian black bear lives in the western half of Asia, that's false. They live exclusively in east Asia, like China, Japan Korea, and Vietnam. Not Afghanistan, Pakistan, or Iran
I for one very much like brown bears - which is in part due to a rather personal connection with one of them. Edit: Also, I like it that this channel expands beyond just cats and dogs - and I hope to see more of this in the future.
I don't think the good people of New Jersey where they have been seen in every county as well as more appropriate bear habitat will agree with the extinct status of the American black bear

SharkFan1789. Polar bears are the largest of the bears. Some can grow up to twenty feet, standing on hind legs!!! They are also the most dangerous of the bears!!! People who live in Churchill Manitoba, Canada never lock their house doors or car doors. The bears will often pass through the town and if a person sees a bear, they head for the closest house or car. They are not cute. They could take your head off with one swipe.
Dear Jesus, American Black Bear Extinct??!! 😂 I'm a Science and Outdoor writer + a fish Pathologist. In much of Pacific Northwest, we have extremely healthy populations, in some States, one can purchase 2 to 3 black bear Tags.
"The American Black Bear has become extinct in most parts of the Unites States........." You have no clue. Be careful where you get your information unless you intend to mislead. And look up the word extinct. It's in the dictionary. I won't bother watching the rest.
The american black bear is not almost extinct in the united states! Possibly in some areas but overall I know on the east coast and in the north they are bopping about. They just avoid people but they are sighted all the time.
Flawed info throughout, but I'll mention just this; - no, polar bears were not the first to appear, the fact they evolved from brown bears settles that
whats this person talking about? he said black bears all but extinct in the usa theres an an estimated 300,000 black bears in the USA all over the place. This whole thing about bears may be BS Check your facts.
I forgot to put this in my original posting: I love bears! I think they're beautiful, mystical creatures! I went on a guided small-group nature tour some years ago and got to see some -- at a distance, of course -- in their natural habitat. That same situation occurred a long time ago when I was in Boy Scouts; I think that's I became enamoured of bears. Fantastic!
Hi, this is a common misconception, but koalas are not actually bears, despite often being referred to as the 'koala bear'. In actuality, they are a marsupial, a class of animals which also includes kangaroos, opossums and bandicoots.
