@cooperlost: Brown bear brings her cubs right by photography group😳 You're probably wondering what is actually happening here and why this mother brown bear is getting so close to us so let me explain.... My friend @stone_images and I are longtime professional bear guides on the bear coast in Alaska. Scott has spent almost every summer camping in bear country with these bears for well over a decade and watched them grow from a young age, including this mother bear. The safer option in this moment was to keep everyone close and just let her calmly pass by us. This is Alaska and in specific locations the bears have more than enough natural food for them so they take almost no interest in mammals or humans especially when they are habituated like this sow. (This would never happen in other regions of Alaska or really anywhere else in the world) but quickly getting up and moving under these circumstances would have made her uncomfortable and could have changed the bears behavior. Also to this bear that is very used to people being around she has learned that humans are not a threat to her or her cubs so her body language is very relaxed. This is why it's so important for you to do your research when choosing people to take you into bear country who can read bears and offer safe encounters. Dont ever let bears get close to you or approach them. They are the apex animal on almost every continent and they will attack. The brown bears in the area this clip is taken are extremely well fed and tolerant of human presence. #brownbear #alaskalife #bearsofinstagram #apexpredator
