Grizzly Bears Are Being Reintroduced to California 

For a state that can't handle some Coyotes I would really think this over 😂

Forrest said “half the states already have a grizzly bears and they are doing fine” and then he listed Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho as examples(which for the record are the only states in the lower 48 to have them). Three states with the least amount of people per square foot in the lower 48. To put things in perspective, there is as many people in Orange County California as there is Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, combined 😂 .

I'm waiting for the day they've announced they've successfully brought the mammoth back. 😂

I've been saying they need to release bears into the cities for years.....

yep, they are going to go house by house and re-introduce wharf rats, black widow spiders and western diamondback rattlesnakes too.

They’ll probably let them loose in Oakland as a part of urban renewal.

Have these guys not read the journals of Lewis and Clark? The very, very early fur trappers first recorded sightings of “blonde bears” in like the 1600s. Lewis and Clark were familiar with the accounts of the blonde bear and thought it was a different species from the grizzly bears they encountered, which they initially called red bears. I’m pretty sure it’s been established they’re all the same species. Maybe not. Google blonde grizzly and there’s really cool pictures of them with blood stained fur.

That’s one way of getting rid of the cartel in the mountains

Love That CA Bear Flag ❤️🐻

Are they gonna be around the Sierras? Like around Sequoia, Yosemite, Tahoe, Shasta, National Parks?

Fun fact, the mascot for the University of California is the Golden Bears (Cal Berkeley)

Forest says nobody has a problem with wolves or bears. Lots of people have problems with them and their Canadian wolves and grizzlies. You’ve got a problem with feral pigs and drugs before you should ship bears from god knows where too hot ass California.

There might already be a few.... i have spent a lot of my life enjoying the wilds of California. About 8 years ago a friend and I saw an very large bear(about the size of a Volkswagen!)with blonde coloring . Plumas county, lake Davis area. My buddy who saw it with me, lived in Wyoming, swears it was a Grizzly. Big hump,different snout etc. Possible?

Hey man I've been watching you guys for a while now and I've always loved Forrest's work and dedication towards knowledge and he has inspired me as well towards wildlife and extinct animals but I've just came to know about a thing about Forrest's find of the Fernandina Tortoise. So apparently this other guy on RU-vid named "All About Nature" published a video of 25 extinct or alive animals in which one of them was fern and he took a jab at Forrest saying that he stole the credit of the guy whose help their entire team was taking and who knew the Island the best and claimed that he was the one who first discovered Ferm and now Forrest and when he told everyone about seeing a tortoise a little far away then Forrest rushed there and held fern up saying that he had found it and there were multiple articles published about the same saying how the people of the island and other are angry at Forrest for falsely claiming the find. You guys can see his yt channel 'all about nature 25 extinct animals ' search this up. As a fan of the show and Forrest I demand to hear the other side of the story. Forrest's side. Like this so that they can see this and talk about it on the pod.

Bear bred for yellowish color. Can they breed them to be friendlier?

How long will that last with all those Californians that think bears are all cute and friendly and trying to get selfies with them?

A black bear will sit at your camp and make a meal of you. 😂

One way to get rid of the homeless problem in California

I'm wondering.........where are they going to get "golden bears" to reintroduce? As an Alaskan, I happen to know that Toklat bears might qualify, but if the state of Alaska or feds aren't interested in providing them to California, where are they going to get them?

thats insane no grizzlies

That’s one way to get the Cartels out of the National Forests…😳😂😂😂

Half of the US..?? Grizzlies/Brown Bears are much different than Wolves…

black bears are not all nice and friendly, according to the guy that was eaten by one in Arizona over the summer (June 2023).

theres rumors that in OC theres some type of grizzly population out there ...who knows

Is a Grizzly dangerous 👀🧐 Is a loaded gun with a hair trigger held by a ruthless madman dangerous 🤔....Nahhhhhhh🤷 should be fine dudes👍😎

We had grizzlies all the way down to Mexico when we Louis and Clark and us frontier settlers found out we could not live with them. They eat our pets, livestock and us. But, fafo.

This is not a good idea at all. Good luck going camping, backpacking etc….

The dogs like WHAT?! Grizzlies?! I’m outta here

Holy crap!

Either get the bears back or change the flag. But don't make it one of those boring ones that are all the rage these days.

I’m gonna invest in spiked collars for dogs if wolves take over California

Light cinnamon colour phase grizzlies.

I went to Yosemite one summer and saw a light brown bear didn’t seem that big until it got closer and stretched it head far up into the sky and started smelling us at that moment I knew how dangerous a animal it can be it also ran up a hill full of dead branches and leaf full sprint and disappeared in the tress it was incredible

I live and backpack in far northern cali by the Oregon border, this is a bad idea, the reason they hunted them to extinction is because they were eating people, there is even one instance of a cali grizzly ripping a door of its hinges and killing an entire family

Im waiting for someone...anyone...to say Grizzlies and Brown Bears are NOT same Specie. I hear some say they ARE BROWN BEARS...some say not? Confused

No ones taught retep about black bears vs brown bears 😅

terrible idea.

I wonder if they can do the same for the Mexican grizzly?

If they released them down on Skidrow they would have plenty of food to eat.

oh hell no

They as well introduce bears most of the people are leaving

As someone who lives in Yosemite, I’m cool off grizzly bears ,

The Biggest Land Animals in California Are Cougars, Elk, The American 🇺🇸 Black Bear🐻, Coyote

There are just too many people in California now...this is not 1920. It's a bad idea. These people are like house cats that move into the foothills with coyotes...then take a walk outside and become dinner. My neighbors already have trouble understanding how not to put garbage outside in their trash cans until the morning of pickup. Also, my daughter lives in Olympic Valley / North Tahoe and even the small black bears will rip into a car if food is left inside...a grizzly? I guess I'll have to get a bigger dog and a gun.

2:27 Are we hearing this right? “For when we’re not here anymore, which will be soon.” Hopefully that’s a joke. Seems to be a lot of extinctionists cropping up

I cant see this ending well for the bears. Its California, the epitome of filth, homelessness and waste.

Come on,guys,with how bad California has been,can reintroduction of Grizzlies really make it any worse?

People need to think this through. The grizzlies were not just shot for fun. Grizzlies can and do eat people. No, it was not right to eradicate the subspecies, but reintroducing an apex preditor might not be the best idea.

Don’t be mad at pete for not knowing

Delusion at its best

No, they are not reintroducing grizzly bears into California. Per Fish & Game.

As an Alaskan, I find your discussion and the very concept of reintroducing brown bears into California outright comical. It's a great idea, from my political and ideological perspective. Maybe it will keep you silly folks busy enough so that you leave the rest of us alone for a while.

I don't think this is a good idea. They are unpredictable. Should have been voted on.

Why the actual fuck do you guys release clips in 3-5 min increments? There's a length cutoft for advertising and monetization. You mind as well just only make shorts in this case if you want short form content.

This needs to be viewed with a long perspective taking all of the possible repercussions into account, because this will most likely end with the Citizens of California having even less outdoors available to them. Eventually the Media will convince the Wokesters that nature in California is no longer a place for the people to hike and camp.

If you think this is a good idea you’re completely ignorant.

The flag had a grizzly becouse of a war when Mexico controlled California.

This may end up being an extremely good idea. Let's sit back and see how it unfolds.

Diabolical way to end the woke movement, unleash the wolves and bears!

As a California resident of 50 years…SWEET! Let’s get the California Golden Eagle back too!!!

Grizzly is the north American subspecies of brown bear, they both are the same species.

bad idea... not in cali, shout out from south africa.

Seeing California republic plastered on everyone's Crew neck late middled school early high-school days its impossible not to know thats the flag😅

But all the states you named, have open carry. California does not. You can't have Grizzlies if you don't have self defence "items".

A Rutgers student who was killed by a bear while hiking in New Jersey snapped photos of the 300-pound beast before it chased him, mauled him - and even gouged the phone the victim used to take his last pics. Darsh Patel was walking with four friends through the Apshawa Preserve in West Milford in September when the black bear attacked. The 22-year-old student became the first person to be killed by a bear in New Jersey. West Milford police Tuesday released six photos taken before the attack, five of them snapped by Patel himself before the bear attacked, according to The Record of Hackensack. That’s a smaller bear and I guess it likes Indian food! Good luck leftist. Conservatives leave!

I live with the grizzly outside Glacier National Park 50 miles from a town in a national forest . It has the largest concentration of grizz in the lower 48.Last year in a 6 week period in spring I had 9 different grizzly outside my home eating the sweet grass the year before 8 etc etc. Some were very blonde ,mixture of blonde and dark and dark with the silver hair on the back witch is where the word grizzly came from. I have had grizz within 30 feet from me on my property and it walked away. They are not as violent as people think and actually dont want to be near humans .They are constantly looking for food , mate in june and sleep in winter so it is imperative you dont leave anything outside that would attract them dog or horse food bird seed barbecue grill etc. They do need a lot of land to survive.

Im shocked how many people dont know about the grizzly on the state flag. Whenever I’ve mentioned it they had no clue why it was on there. They should be back there. They can be ferocious predators but it was their land first. There’s plenty of prey for them to eat in the wild.

there are still golden bears in calif. i have seen them! there are a number of calif. black bears that have genes for a very blonde/honey color around the lake tahoe basin at the higher altitudes. also, there are a number of reputable sources who report seeing real grizzly bears in modoc county so...................
