That makes me wonder under what circumstances would grizzlies come together with either black or polar bears to form hybrid offspring: Jhbinz said in 2012 that s/he "made this encounter this past summer in Yukon Territory while driving between Teslin Lake and Rest Area on Liard River" in Yukon, northwest Canada, and it looks like a grizzly–black bear hybrid to me:
This looks like a bear cub got a good meal, it would be interesting if more information. So small bear and seems to be in a hurry :)

Looks like a standard black bear, they come in lighter colors from time to time.

Yeah, I was thinking when I shared it, that could that be a black bear and are there even grizzlies in Colorado. It was just looking so small :) I´ve seen some other videos with black bears and deers and usually deer looks clearly smaller, but true, some black bears are quite small. I think, that youngish bear, something in it, how it ran and overall presence. This is what comes in my mind, when talking about black bear and deer. But I think, that you are right, black bear in that posting of mine, not brown bear.
Another whale carcass and very nice footage. I wonder why there are no wolves hanging around
 I can´t blame them if some were nearby, these bears didn´t look like juveniles. In places like this there is no room for other beasts.
Not enough for two...
 Maybe newcomer just had to wait for a moment though.
@Shadow :
Really fascinating your three last video you posted ! Some of these bears were loosing their hairs, because they got over their hibernation period ? There is a french affirmation "The best friends of the world are two loners together", with the grizzly bears it doesn't work ! The corpses of the whales could weigh several decades of tons, the bears are able to fight each other. (11-24-2019, 02:37 PM)Shadow Wrote: Another whale carcass and very nice footage.

Little update what comes to Kodiak brown bear Taquka and Eurasian brown bear Felix, living in Swedish zoo Orsa Rovdjurspark. Taquka is now 9 years old and Felix is 6.
They weighed these bears October 24th. With Taquka it went ok and he was 533 kg, Felix didn´t want to go in the cage with scale and they got his weight when only half of him was inside, result was 150 kg. He was before 250 kg, so 300 kg estimation might be ok. Quote: "In october 24 this year Taquka weighed 533kg before hibernation. Felix didn't want to come inside the cage so we only got 150kg on him and then he was inside the cage with half of his body. It's hard for us to know the length on them on their hind legs but I have seen Taquka on his hind legs in the enclosure and he is most likely over 3m then."  *This image is copyright of its original author I asked also about Peter the Great (Kamchatka brown bear) and he was 570 kg when he arrived to Orsa zoo, so newspaper articles about 1000 kg bear have been exaggerations.

Eurasian brown bear, named Korvapuoli (translates approximately Half ear) July 2018, place is Suomussalmi in Finland. Korvapuoli is approximately 20 years old and estimated to be around 300 kg, old confident "gentleman", used to be a dominant male bear and at the time when these photos were taken still acted like one while eating. It took his time and moved calmly, while other bears seen at same place were clearly more cautious and nervous. Photos from here: http://hatkassa.blogspot.com/2018/07/karhuseikkailu-2018.html
 *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author I hope, that Korvapuoli has still many good years ahead as a senior bear. I put here also this video, which I have shared before because Korvapuoli can be seen from 5:36 forward and from 6:05 forward it can be seen how "King of the Forest" relaxes. This is one of my favourite bears to see. Video is from July 2015. (11-25-2019, 09:40 AM)BorneanTiger Wrote:(11-24-2019, 02:37 PM)Shadow Wrote: Another whale carcass and very nice footage. I wonder why there are no wolves hanging around When you look at video I shared, I would love to see some polar bear trying to approach such site Brown bears aren´t good in sharing, especially if they have claimed some carcass like in that video I posted. And as videos which you shared are showing, brown bears aren´t backing off too much even when confronting polar bear. Interesting to see people saying, that polar bears tend to avoid brown bears, even though they are in average bigger.Still nice to see, that they can share big carcasses at least occasionally if not always. These are two very dominant species of course meeting time to time, but maybe brown bears are more used to conflicts with other species, this is of course just speculation. But polar bears are practically without competition most of the time, brown bears have to deal with wolves and cougars as competitors at least part of their lives, it´s not easy for young bears always. When adult and full size, it´s a different game. |
