Yellowstone National Park has become just as famous, if not more famous, for its resplendent wildlife as it is its thermal features and grizzly bears are among the parks most popular animal residents. As powerful and beautiful as grizzlies are, the truth is they are still vulnerable.
I've seen more grizzly bears in Yellowstone than I can count, but the fall of 2020 may be my most impactful month for grizzly encounters I've had in all my years of visiting and documenting Yellowstone National Park's wildlife.
This video focuses primarily on a sow grizzly who was hit and injured by a truck, laying motionless for some time on the side of the road before hobbling off into the woods. This is the story of her injury and a reminder to stay attentive when visiting Yellowstone National Park.

I think the wild life was happier during COVID when everything was closed. They had free roam EVERYWHERE and didnt have to worry about people.

I lived in Wyoming for several years, Cody to be exact . I would take several trips a year up the mountain to drive and observe the beautiful wildlife. Sadly there was always someone who just couldn’t obey the rules. Your video was not only informative but a well done explanation on how to act while in Yellowstone. It was well thought out, beautiful, and somewhat sad. I look forward to your next video, can’t wait. We plan to go back to Yellowstone in a year or so and take our time observing and taking pics and videos of it glorious beauty. Keep up the good work and hope to see more

Thank you for this very informative video. My first visit to Yellowstone was this year and I was pretty taken back by the visitors racing through the park. Some of them passed us as we were going the speed limit. I realize the size of the park and visitors wanting to get to different sections of the park in their short time they are visiting, but it really is putting the animals at risk and making it very unpleasant for visitors minding the speed limit and enjoying the park. My opinion that the speed limit should be slower in highly populated animal areas.

I’ve been to Yellowstone one time and did not enjoy the being around people who would lose their minds every time they saw a critter. A big part of my trip was spent on horseback in the back country and, not to be rude, but I won’t go back unless I do the same thing.

Absolutely awe-some video. Great narration and documentation of what park visitors should know. This video should be shown at all visitor centers! I first visited Yellowstone over 70 years ago, and now that we're retired, we try to visit every fall.The last bear I saw was when I was 3 or 4 years old, and bears were commonly interacting with visitors. As to whether the sow survived, hard to say. I am hoping she did, but if not, it's the Circle of Life.

Thank You for your expertise. I don't have to take a trip to Yellowstone, because your footage along with my daydreaming abilities is a good enough trip for this city girl.

I'm a human nurse and in no way do I know anything about bears or wildlife. That said, symptoms in humans and animals can and do present the same. The unsteadiness of the bear trying to get up but stumbling appeared to me to be a neurological injury to her/his brain or spine. My thought is either she was startled from the recent injury but was able to heal and recover on her own. If in fact she did sustain a brain injury I doubt she would not live for long. She needed to hunt on her own, fend off predators that prey on the weak. If this happened I doubt the Rangers would find nothing more than bones. If they found anything at all. One very small comfort in that is she was food for other living animals. then the circle of life continues. With all unknowns, we wish for the best and are left hanging with an unknown. Thank you for getting the message out about slowing down when driving. I will add, not just in the parks but everywhere. I live in Minnesota and work in both MN, and WI. I am on the road a lot with traveling country back roads. The number of deer kills and other wildlife I see blows my mind. What I see I know is just a small portion of the numbers I don't see. I am a retired ER nurse so I have seen the devastation hitting animals can do to humans as well. Sorry I went off on that tangent but like you, I feel this message has got to start sinking in or soon our world will be a lot different when all these animals are lost forever. Again Thank You!

I am so blessed to live in the beautiful state of Wyoming. As a resident I beg people who want to visit our beautiful state, please respect our wildlife.

@dianas514 Год назад

Great video! Truly hope the grizzly survived!

@cameronmccreary4758 Год назад

I was hit by an SUV in a crosswalk and I still suffer pain today. Left tibia plateau ruined, two heart valve surgeries and two ruptured discs in my back and neck. Maybe the bear can take the abuse; I can't.

@whollymary7406 Год назад

I appreciate your care and concern for these animals I just think the rangers need to start issuing tickets to people who speed or place speed bumps cause people are crazy and undereducated

@LadyYoop Год назад

This is beyond cool...thank you so much for this share~ AND...I'm gonna take a chance and say this girl is a SURVIVOR! You rock..thank you again!

@maskandrose Год назад

Thank you for showcasing ethics referenced to these apex predators . How I wish all had the good sense and ethics that your family showed . They are wild and should be treated as such with large levels of awe and respect.

I finally found a channel that not only gives facts but provides spectacular scenery as well. New subscriber, thanks for sharing Tennessee USA 💕

This past June we saw a bison in distress on the side of the road in Yellowstone's Lamar Valley. It was limping badly and looked like it had a broken leg. We spoke to a nearby ranger about it, and she said that the Park's policy is to let nature take its course: they do not interfere with the life or death of an animal in the park.

Great narration. Just discovered your channel. Love YNP. 13 times and counting…

Sad people drive to fast .

@davidfaria6194 Год назад

I think she survived it look like she was walking better as time went on 🙏, People need to slow down and become more aware

I had the fortune to encounter a roadside bear on the road to Sylvan pass. I was the first car there and kept my distance, parked on the shoulder on the other side of the road from where the bear was located. It did not take long for others to arrive and what I witnessed was pretty mind-boggling. People stopped just 20 feet from where the bear was digging, people getting out of their cars to get a closer look, absolutely no caution and no respect for the animal. The bear was on the small side and did not seem to mind the people at all, eventually sauntering off across the road and down the hill, but we know the strength they have and more importantly, we want to keep them wild, not habituated to people like that. That's what keeps them safe. That was several years ago, but I still think about that experience.

If more people respected the wildlife we have pushed into a smaller and smaller place, like you do, this beautiful Bear wouldnt have been hit by a car! Its hard to tell about whether the Bear survived without more info on how fast, and big the car was as well as where on the Bears body absorbed most of the impact! At least if She died she wouldve fed other animal life in the forest, but I would much rather hear a story of her challenging another Bear for an Elk, which btw was what I thought you were going to say about those two Bears! Thank you for the video and excellent tips!
