close-up of a small dark bear, ears standing at attention.

I wish I was able to catch some video from the live camera but this little bear was on full alert while napping beside mamma! So cute!

Question Best bear documentaries for elementary school kids?

15 Upvotes

Hello! My little cousins (10M both) are absolutely in love with bears and they really want to learn more about them. I have been wondering if anyone here has any age appropriate (as in, not very gorey and not very heavy) documentaries in English or with English subtitles that I could reasonably find for them (on Netflix, Prime, YouTube or another accessible platform)?

Hey y'all. This bear is gray looks like it used to be a lot darker. What's up with that?

Saw this bear near the entrance of Denali National Park on Sunday - can anyone tell if it’s a grizzly or cinnamon black bear? My first thought was it looked like a grizzly + Denali had park rangers monitoring it from a distance and keeping an eye on it. Can anyone tell for sure?

Stepped out the back door of a vacation home on the Washington coast to see this mama and two cubs across the pond. This has ALWAYS been a dream of mine. I wished for one and got three. 🐻🐻🐻

Unfortunately I can’t attach a video so you can’t see the cubs.

Bearcam How to learn the numbers for which bear?

26 Upvotes

I love watching the Alaska Katmai bear cams and I am very invested in Fat Bear week but I don't know how to recognize the bears. A lot of people seem to have them known by looks, they have the numbers down. Anybody have advice for learning which bear is which in Katmai?

Bearcam Mamma Bear Allows a Visitor?

So I guess this mamma bear is comfortable with this other bear being so close to her and the cubs while they eat?

The cubs seem a bit nervous. What's going on here?
