Close Encounter With a Bear (video)
Here’s a video by a park visitor who happened to get some nice video of a bear in Yosemite. The bear is a cinnamon colored Black Bear not a Grizzly as noted in the video’s caption. It’s a common mistake, they do look like a Grizzly but they’re substantially smaller in size and their face is a little more pointed where a Grizzly seems to have a more rounded face.
Great video.

It’s so sad to see how the bears in Yosemite have to deal with the loads of tourists. I’m sure before we flooded that place with people, that was the perfect little spot for them!
If there was an interesting part in there, I couldn’t last long enough through all the jiggling to get to it. I was out before the 1-minute mark.
Honestly, how hard it is to operate a video camera? Unwatchable due to jerking and movement and idiotic, zombie-like commentary.
You know this gave me the mental image of Howard Cosell coming back as a zombie and doing play by play.
Why wasn’t that ranger harassing/chasing that bear? The more negative interractions that bears have with people, the less injuries and property damage as bears are conditioned to stay away from humans and their posseions. I can’t believe the constant stories of people watching as bears confront them, break into their cars, and attempt to steal their food. If visitors are too ignorant or intimidated to drive bears away, why aren’t rangers doing it?
