BEAR VIDEOS

      This web page has a number of short Bear Videos. We have attempted to keep their running time to about 10 minutes. These videos have been selected from our personal videos which have been shot in the Cooper Landing area. Some of these videos were filmed from a drift boat on the Upper Kenai River and others were filmed with a hand held camera or with a tripod from across the Upper Kenai River. We prefer to film the bears in their natural surroundings and while they are not being influenced by humans. All the bears are wild animals doing what they desire to do and come and go on their own timing.

      All the videos have a brief title. Videos 15 and 16 show young bears in close and dangerous proximity to fisherman and tourists. We hope they show you what not to do. The bears are not in cages at a zoo. They are in their own environment and you need to give them plenty of space. A bear can easily run 100 yards in 7 seconds. That does not give you much time to climb a tree, or to get away in any other way.

      To view these videos you will need to have "Windows Media Player" software on your computer. Just click on the "play" symbol in the lower right hand corner of the film strips below.
