Cmon, EVERYTHING is friend shape to humans as long as it wont try to kill you right away lol (especially if it show ths slightest sign it can be friendly)
The fact that bears are as adorable as they are and yet fearsome, powerful mammals capable of backhanding your head off is forever a frustrating duality to me.
@@metaLungiez demand, really. realistically there's not much bears can do that already domesticated animals can't (we can ride horses, cows can haul plows, dogs can guard homes, etc.), so why put in the effort to domesticate a new animal when you can just use machines/already domesticated animals
Remember They’re omnivores so if they’re fed we’ll like Joe Rogan says they’re pretty chill and they don’t have the same desire to kill things like a cat
@@3ou1man True shit, crazy Polar bastards are the only bear species, and I mean it when I say the *only* one, who will actively hunt Humans. Other bears won't go out of their way to hunt people unless under extreme circumstances, Polar Bears don't wait to be starving howecer..
I mean...cuz its a bond where they trust each other. Bear's possibly even bred in captivity or has been there since he was a cub. It would be a lot different if he was wild.
@@staceymenheart8353Plus Brown Bears have a bite force that exceeds 1,000 psi so it’d be even worse. I’ve heard of a case in Yellowstone where a particularly large Grizzly Bear and a particularly large Black Bear fought each other, and the Grizzly Bear won the fight, and it was apparent how the Grizzly Bear won because when people found the dead black bear, I heard that it literally had two holes on the top of the skull which fit the exact size of the top two canine teeth of the Grizzly Bear, so the Grizzly actually managed to kill the Black Bear by biting with enough force to puncture into the skull, that should tell you the impressive power of the Grizzlies bite force right there, and it was a particularly large male Black Bear that the Grizzly killed, it wasn’t some young or average sized Black Bear, imagine what they could do to other animals if they really wanted to.
I imagine Tyrannosaurus Rex to be something of a similar case too, with lips and proper flesh covering it would likely look cuter if it weren't for how absolutely massive they are.
@@killerv135 God didn't explain that, it was the men who claimed he did. Its nonsensical, lions used to eat hay?? How in the hell do you know better than the biologists who actually study these animals? Absolutely nothing about lions suggest they used to eat hay, with their stomach structure, teeth, forward facing eyes, their urge to hunt? Clearly if bears were meant to kill you, because two old farts from long ago made a mistake so that means everyone in the future with no involvement has to be punished, why do the bears not kill this man in the video? Or the lions, other big cats who people have formed bonds with? Or are they just anomalies? If I may be so blunt, this world-view of yours is so exceptionally black and white and void of logic, I wonder how you deal with reality.
I think I remember reading somewhere that the first teddy bears looked a lot more like actual bears, and their design slowly morphed into what they are today as they became more popular. They took on more and more 'cute'/resembing human infant traits as the demand for them rose
Many people underestimate just how smart and curious bears are. They are quite capable of solving complex problems without having to resort to using their strength to destroy things.
yellowstone officials have an enormously hard problem creating bear-proof trash cans because "there is a large overlap in intelligence between the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists"
Then again, there's that video of a grizzly playing with a big snowball, and then it breaks, and he roars in rage and proceeds to attack trees, rip sapplings out of the ground, pretty much destroy everything around him. Yeah. So anyway.
During WW2 there was a bear named Wojtek. He was adopted by Polish soldiers. Even though he was strong he would wrestle with the soldiers to help them impress ladies
He helped with the heavy ammo boxes on the battlefield. The germans saw him many times disn't believe their eyes and didn't want to shoot him. (They had the first animal protection law in the world.)
I'd take a black bear over a hippo any day. Brown bear, eh, depends on if it is pissed off or not because at that point it becomes which is the least painful death. Hippos are one of the most aggressive/ will royally mess you up type animals on the planet whereas bears are highly intelligent and curious, if they aren't hungry or have young nearby. So basically, a wild black bear you have a decent chance to not die, brown bear is a small chance to not die, and hippos you may as well just try to get some good footage of your death if they see you and decide to charge. Polar bears are a mix of all three but more towards the mess you up side of the spectrum
No, Hippos are only horrifying, and if you want to prove me wrong, find me a video of a man playing with a hippo the same way this man plays with a bear.
@@petrescue2093 it wasn’t, he died from brain Damage from falling off a ladder he was in the hospital for weeks after the fall, and there were no animals in the enclosure
Lots of people look at bears and go "aww, it's a fuzzball, that's so cute!". Then the bear stands on its hind legs and you realize "oh crap, it's bigger than me and its claws are longer than my fingers". Don't get me wrong, I love bears and when they are calm they are ADORABLE. But they're still wild animals and that means we should treat them with respect.
I was talking to a zoo instructor who said he was comfortable being in the black bear pen but not the brown bear pen. I asked why and he said the black bears tend to know the damage they can do while brown bears tend to play a little more rough. Many zookeepers are accidentally killed all the time because they often forget that bears have enormous strength and to them it's basically nothing.
They are also extremely intelligent too. Almost too comical enough to consider them dangerous until you get too close to them. But from a distance they are just too adorable. Even when they’re cubs. That’s why I enjoy watching them in their mischief when they’re being filmed in complete secrecy.
Speaking of intelligence Bears are learning at incredible rate how human home appliances work. Saw a bear holding the door from rebounding when he broke it to steal foods from a home. They also have learned how to sit at the table after observing us do it. They also eat almost everything we eat. From meat, candies, tic tac breath mint to beers and cocaine. They are fascinating animals.
This bear has obviously been treated well by people, the way that he’s mouths his hand playing to be so careful not to hurt him means that he loves and respects this person
The thing about predators with any measure of complex thought is that so long as they know you’re the guy who feeds, protects, and treats them well, they’ll do their best to leave you alone simply because it’s easier to get the good treatment than to start a fight
Yes he is use to people but don't be surprised if you hear about this very bear one day feeling some type of way and deciding to brutally maul a man it's a wild animal and really dangerous
typically i believe the animals are friendly to their owner but still weary of strangers. basically he's seen as "papa bear" but any random stranger is just scary and possibly a threat. they likely aren't domesticated, they just know that this guy is nice and so they won't attack
If so i would definitely recommend him being there and close the whole time and only one of them at a time. Because in any case he would be their comfort like when you introduce your dog to people you’re their comfort and letting them know all is good
This is why the bear is the most fascinating of animals to me. Their cute looks truly are a disguise. We must respect these apex predators. Thank you for this educational video!😊❤🐻
Vikings actually did it for a time but it did not have a significant genetic impact on bear population. Reason: they are very big which means you need to feed them more. Which means no domestication. Not to mention they usually eat meat. Biggest domesticated animals such as elephants and cows are herbivores. Now imagine having 4 black bears, they'll eat a sheep every day or something. You need a very big livestock wealth to just feed them every day. Not to mention their other needs...
@@lukamijic4335 No? The domestication of dogs happened when we tamed some wolves and through multiple generations they eventually became domesticated. Yet wolves are still around, all around the world
I have been less than 2 feet away from a Grizzly they look very cute and friendly. Just one swipe of their paw can break your back, just shows how dangerous they can be. They are truly an amazing predator with multiple athletic capabilities.
@@bola5671 But yet the Polish Army had an Artillery Bear in WWII. his name was Wojtek, he was an official member of the Army that climbed to the rank of Corporal through his service carrying Artillery ammo crates to the Artillerymen of the Polish II Corps 22nd Artillery Supply Company at the Battle of Monte Cassino. There are statues in his honor in multiple countries. 🐻
Browns and grizzlies have a cross cross muscle fiber layer under most of their bodies. This muscle layer isn't used for movement, all it does is flex tight. It's literally armor, it prevents massive bleeding and dangerous injuries amongst themselves. It's kinda like how human males grow beards still because we fight other human males. A beard will help defect upto 30% of the friction from a strike. Bears have this muscle suit for fighting each other. You litteraly can't kill a bear without vital damage. They won't go down until you stop something from working.
Knowing how much we miss Tyler...I can't even imagine the grief his fur babies are going through, they have no idea how to process seeing and playing with him one day to wondering where he is and when he's coming back the next...My heart breaks for his family and loved ones and that includes his fur family....Such a sad and tragic ending to such a beautiful life of a man who gave so much love to all these beautiful majestic creatures...Thank you Tyler...RIP Dear Friend 🥰🙏🙏🙏❤️
Man. People who get to pal around with large predators like this are so lucky. They get to be close with creatures that could and would eat them without a second thought if a chance arose, but are also gentle and friendly enough when they wanna be. What a great experience.
Black bears can be incredibly social and friendly animals because of how intelligent they are. Had one pull up on me camping once, I tossed it some fish and we just kinda sat there looking at each other for ~40min, my 45-70 at the ready just in case. But he just sat there, looking grateful for the food and moment of peace before sauntering off. Grizzlies are just walking death, if you see a grizzly and it sees you it's already too late.
@@chrisroper2731 The hump on their back and flatter face. They're also fucking huge. American black bears are 5 feet long and weigh 600 pounds on average Grizzly bears average 8 feet long and 900 pounds.
On the rare instance you happen to own a domesticated bear (typically only possible if you raise/train it since birth), they're a lot like big dogs, just 4 times bigger and just as cuddly.
Definitely friend shaped 🤗 I love the fact that we humans are capable to make friends with all kind of animals. It is so unbelievably beautiful. A shame what we are doing instead of befriending the world.
The last is totally me with my mighty dog . He bit people since he got his teeth. Even his baby teeth were deadly. He his strong and even adult men have to yse a lot of and time and effort to stop him once he is in his wolf mode. After we adopted him we corrected him to get a safe future cause a lot of people were trying to k*ll him. We didn't hit or abus* him. But now he is gentel around people like kids, girls and pregnant women, disabled people or old people. Only play hard with adult strong people like my dad and brothers but will never try to bite them. Funny thing is he can't change his instint and will always open his mouth exactly like this bear when we give him scratches but never bite😂❤ .
Black Bears sometimes forget they are bears and think they are oversized raccoons. It gets more dangerous with brown bears or god help you a white bear .
