One of the personal highlights of this past year was provided by the nearly daily viewing of the Bear Cams, so many thanks to all the moderators, rangers and remote camera operators!
Holly, Grazer, are very good moms.. There is something so heartwarming about all these bears. They furry head, round ears and behavior. The way females put their large paw on their cubs when nursing.. Let's hope salmon continues to thrive at Brooks River in spite of the climate change.
My favorite moment was watching the foot of the cub while feeding on the island. It brought tears to my eyes it was so beautiful. My second favorite was the guy inventing new ways to fish at the falls.
In 2019 68 nearly killing 747 in the J was voted one of the 'Top 10 Bear Cam Moments ' but 747 displaces 856 as Top Bear after 10 years without violence (At least none seen on Cam) and it doesn't make the cut? - the Big Guy just gets no respect, but I digress - loved all of the Cute Cub moments, there were so many adorable ones this season, every season something occurs that we are unlikely to see happen again and this season I think it was the Bearapaloozas at the Falls - they were spectacular to watch and the conditions that brought them about are unlikely to occur again, and of course Otis' miraculous return was this season's highlight and watching him recover and eat his way to a fourth Fat Bear Crown was a joy - It was another amazing season, can't wait for next year. 🙂❤🐻
Saw everyone of these moments! Best video of all time! I actually teared up again watching Amelia & her cub reunited & dancing in the water. Thank you for all you do Explore!
I am so going to miss these adorable Bears Oh the bear moments on the Cams were so beautiful. SOMETIMES Scary I worried about Otis and all the cubs. I pray they all come back next Spring safe and sound ❤
Sweetest moments ever between mom & her cubs! OTIS returning is my fav clip!! Such amazing footage & specially watching these bears 🐻with a warm, fuzzy feeling… yet they could rip us to shreds with little effort. Respecting & caring for nature♥️
Amelia's reunited and Otis return were the most heartwarming for me. Also, one that did not make the cut was 909's little bean rearranging the rocks 😍 I thought that was adorable.
I miss the bears being on cam. Hope they are all getting snuggled in warm and cozy for a good winter’s nap. Can’t wait for spring! Thanks to all who make the cams and education possible.
I thought that there was so much activity involving Grazer that the highlights would have included her altercation with subadult that was attempting to steal food from her cubs, her exiting the lip to break up a fight, and when she sent a bear backwards into the falls. Grazer had a lot of moments this year.
What are year. So many great moments! I actually missed them as they were happening so I’m so grateful you replayed them here. I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite. Bears.are.awesome 🐻❤️🐻❤️🐻❤️🐻❤️
Absolutely love that little cub, but I gotta agree with the video - Otis making it back to the Falls after what must have been an epic effort and journey has to be number one.
