This video makes me smile big time every time I watch it. Did you folks notice that squealy bear shut up as soon as Rick placed him inside his warm jacket? He was cooold for a few seconds.
I still can't get over what a sleepy sweet face Mamma Bear has.I hope she and her wee ones will get to live out their lives unharmed and in full. Thank You for all the good that you do Rick Mercer. You Truly DO make our world a better place:)
Rick Mercer is one of the best comedians and he can have fun or make any situation funny. The one with the bears is great and be sure to watch the one with The Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They are all great
Momma Bear and her three very young cubs in the wild of northern Ontario , Canada . Humane wildlife experts taking a winter bear census right in the hibernation dens. Besides the cute 6 week old baby bears (eyes still closed). The guy (Rick Mercer) delivers some funny lines.
Agree. That's why I took photos and videos for animals who live in the wild (deer, chicken, turkey ...) and put them in my children's book to show them what are "real" nature creature. They talk to me too: voice of goats.
@CampCook12345 This is one of my youtube favorites. Every few months I come back to it. Rick is very clever, and it is also obvious that he loves the little bears. I love just about all furry mammals ..... but I also have nothing against hunters. We have an enormous overpopulation of deer in the eastern USA, for example.
this video is adorable. i can't believe the baby bears are so little. i just came back from the state of Virginia and i was hoping to see a black bear but unfortunetly we didn't but it is ironic that i just happen to have this video in my email box. so glad they sent it to me.
I've watched this video before. They cut out the line after 2:46 where Rick says "I think we should have the gun." Can always count on the CBC to rewrite history.
@YokoPolaris Thank you for that. Such a nice counterpoint to those here who assume that trained scientists and specialists in bear behavior know less than they do. It's particularly amusing when a gun-toter insists he never sets food in the woods without a firearm capable of killing a bear. That's someone who either doesn't spend much time in the woods or doesn't spend time there except to kill the wildlife. Go science!
@GungHo1032 "I wonder how many thousands of dollars are spent every year, just so we can know exactly how many bears there are, and how much they weigh?" I'm pretty sure it's just done to give the people who really run the world a good laugh. "Yeah, uh", giggle giggle, cough, "we're going to need you to count and weigh all the wild bears in the hemisphere." "That will be your job....thanks for stopping in..." door closes .... hysterical laughter breaks out .....
Thumbs up number 41, Yoko. Rick was very clever, talking/joking about the shovel, the jab stick, a "double dose," and hitting the ranger over the head and running if the mother bear did try to come out and attack. But I bet she was pretty groggy (though clearly awake), even before the jab stick pinched her. I have heard that their metabolism slows WAY down while they are hibernating. Besides, she was vastly outnumbered, too.
@LivesForJihad You got a thumbs up from me. Yes, when bears grow up they become very powerful, dangerous creatures. But about only times they attack a human is when someone makes horrible mistake of surprising a female with cubs, especially if the human is closer to the youngsters than ma. And the other small percentage (15%?) of attacks come when someone has left food out, especially while camping. I have seen a lot of documentaries about bears, and what makes them scatter often is LOUD NOISE
nature is so beautiful (those fuckin bears), and rick mercer is hilarious. the canadian constants. did you hear how he pronounced his sentence at 1:17 ? no wonder we have a distinctive accent. "the hahrt of Algonquin Pahrk and look who it is, Dr. Mahrtin Olbahrt. Hello Mahrtin how are you" lmfao
@Yakaduce BTW, we do this same thing - it's called inoculation shots. The human cubs get shots and medical records. No body whines about that ... not even the bears
Wait until they are about two or three months old; I've worked a bit with orphaned bear cubs and they are mischievous as hell, LOL. They also smell bad.
