They so curious its hilarious

"I was just going to bite and eat your leg ever so gently." :)

Bit*

@@rd_eli Think how a little a kid would talk.. "Bited" is appropriate.

@Donald Cummings aint nothing wrong with spelling something wrong. Im just tryna help. What you just said is straight bs.

lol funny

Cute!!

Yeap, now I can practically hear that too while rewatching this. She must be SO eager for the cubs to venture off on their own. 🤣

😂 so true, "It takes a village to raise little ones, I trust you'll do the right thing"

Their*

Даа,правильно! Хозяин спокойно предупредил,что надо держать дистанцию,ты не 😺 киса домашняя😊 👍

Ya that scared me but I think he was just trying to play

Many dogs try to bite like that too especially when young. And yes, dogs can kill people. Yet you wouldn't say "unbelievable" if it happened with a dog. Black bears aren't agressive and we're not normal prey for them so his behaviour is the correct one to have.

@@AriaIsarafinally someone with common sense. All these people shouting “ one of these bears will kill him! it’s a game of chance!” all forget that EVERY kind of animal (us included!) has ‘rogues’ with an error in their wiring (psychopathology), that may kill another. It won’t be these bears that he knows, just like a dog you take good care of won’t attack you, although it may lash out to someone unfamiliar if touched in a sensitive spot et cetera.

@@AriaIsara A wild dog, definitely. It's not like these bears are entirely domesticated...

He respects their space so much that he stays in his space... if anything they don't respect his space. I'm just glad they aren't ever aggressive towards him

@@mattb6646 Black bears are actually not that aggressive and are actually pretty shy around humans. Now if this were brown bears or polar bears? This guy would be here posting youtube vids anymore.

@@beazrich2.017 yeah they aren't as aggressive as grizzlies or poplars. But they can and have ripped people to shreds before, luckily these bears are familiar with this man so the chances aren't as high, but he still has bigger balls than me, I wouldn't sit on the porch with them.. especially when they nibble his legs lol

@@beazrich2.017 if it was grizzlies he’d be the grizzly man 2.0

@@Vanishingink4 Yaaaash.

And Ruby and her babies! Lol It IS crazy how these mama bears trust Mr. Conley with their babies. They need a good scolding though when they get too rough.

They always come to him. He never invades their space. He's always respectful and considerate and they return the same.

I wonder if they’re hungry too.

Yeah but you seen the claw's... A Bear has his own personality..

@@barbaravyse660 They stay hungry...

😆

The penny was just starting to drop that 'Uncle Pat' is made out of breakfast!

Remember, a bear can slap your head clean off in one go! One swipe across your mid section and your innards are outwards.

Bears are mostly herbivorous and frugivorous.

Comme vous avez raison, 🙏🏼 des mastodons délicats .

He's habituating the bear(s) which ultimately will result their being euthanized. These individual animals will soon approach other human beings because of it, and if unable to be relocated they will be killed.

I was thinking just that. At first one of them started climbing on the railing, but after he closed the little gates, he seemed to stop cling on it. As if he knew that he overstepped and was no longer invited for the day.

I think your "read" on their behavior is spot on, esp. the last cub. It really wanted to play more with the human but analyzed the situation enough to want the gate open as a means of escape, if needed. Without the gate open, it was too leery to enter the human playpen.

Actually it attacked her in all it's molestation. The fearful body language after it was corrected meekly for example. The mother....is insane too. Body language, facial expression & verbal language being hostile is proof of evil. 🎭

The cub was certainly persistent. And maybe later in this Simone was telling him/her to behave.

😅😊

From what I know, girl bears only mate again when their little ones have left to find their own way in life. But I'm no expert, there's no bears where I live. She's probably just tired from having two teenagers.

Would it be mean to just take a water gun and spritz him when he decides to climb your railing towards you?

If a bear sow is accompanied by cubs, then she isn't waiting for more. The mating process involves the cubs leaving, either because Mom chase them away so she can leave her scent in her territory to signal a male that she is ready, or a male bear already chased her cubs for her to make her receptive to mating.

maybe it really makes sense to stop the seeds?

I love how you share your life with them and u let them stay as god and Mother Earth intended them to be wild and amazing animals 😍see does look tried little one wants a pair of slippers or shoes mommy may be tried but she loves her Cubs.thank you for sharing I showed my grandson this video to teach him you can share the spaces and not have them as pets and if respect them they will respect u back when the get out of being baby’s Cubs

Very unusual for a Mother trusting 100% of you being neer her Cubs? you have nothing to worry about except kids getting thier fingerpaws in the cookie jar some times.

That's the most aggressive I've seen Milo unless I missed something. I don't think he was purposefully being aggressive or meant harm. They were ready at the time of this video to be kicked out of the family. I think it was within a week or so that she kicked them out of the nest. They are the same as teenagers now...testing the boundaries and not quite knowing if it's ok to 'play' with Patrick, and not knowing their own capabilities. Notice Milo left and tried to play with his mother. I think it was just a teenager messing around with the boundaries. But Patrick knew to put him in his place. Allowing it to go further could be dangerous for the next human he would encounter. As for his sister...isn't Luca her name, I've never seen her get rowdy. She's usually not even been very curious. It was definitely time for Simone to send them on their way into adulthood.

No aggression, just curiosity and affection.

Professor Voluck testing boundaries can lead to “aggression” I just believe it’s in there nature and they are learning the ropes of being a bear

She's probably tired because she has to do more to keep them fed at their larger sizes. Like others are saying in the comments, they are at the age to be pushed out of the nest. They're becoming too much of a burden on mom

@@rutykzuty allowing them to go further.. like putting it's mouth on his leg and trying to grab him with his paws? They are clearly testing whether he is something they can eat. The people here are fucking delusional. This guy is absolutely going to get bears killed when they show up and get close to other humans and they call a ranger to put the bear down.

He grabbed the gate to steady himself from falling

@@Lastfirst333 yes, but why not enjoy a little fun human narrative? Right fellow human? 🙂

Yes it APPEARS that way but it is not that way she will kill him the moment one of the cubs goes too far and he reacts wrong. she will make him realize that she is a killing machine but by then its too late to stop her

Black bears are like black golden retrievers dogs but more fat.

@@beazrich2.017 Are they friendly?

Lol..emphasis on the safety part😂

А где ещё два медвежонка? Их же было 4.

“Safety of your house?” They do make house calls. …and they don’t knock. 😊👍

Agree, except that the mother actually brought the cubs to him. There is at least one or two times he has felt the need to do something to make a cub back off (couldn't see exactly what he did because he's behind the camera). Mom just sat there looking disinterested. And, this mamma has had two litters (that I am aware of), and knows Patrick and his porch quite well. (Have you seen the one where he's in the yard and mamma comes down off the porch? Wow! He goes kind of behind her to move toward the steps and she does a false charge! How he didn't even flinch is beyond me! I think the lesson there was DO NOT go behind a bear so that it cannot see what you are doing - natural defense kicks in.

@ian trofimov people underestimate the strength of the human man They do not know what a man can do when hes in a life or death situation because theyve never been outside their comfort zone

@ian trofimov you're so wrong that I hope you never meet an aggressive black bear or any wild animal larger than a chipmunk

@ian trofimov a kabar knife killed a Kodiak bear

@@OntarioBearHunter Coming from Africa I can totally agree, not necessarily about bears but any wild animal, especially mommas

I want to meet the person that gives her the flea treatment lol.

อยากให้เขาซื้อยาเห็บหมัด💊 ใส่อาหารแล้วโยนให้พวกเขากิน😔🐻

Exactly, when you're washing the car Saturday morning line up the Bears and give them a good scrubbling!!! lol

Wonder if capstar would work on them. Although they would just get them again. Fleas are the worst.

@@solomoon3083 Now that you mentioned it, I've been watching Patrick's videos of Simone for a few years now and this is the first time I recall seeing her scratch.

Milo is not and never will be a threat to Mr. Conley. It appears to me that Milo is exhibiting alpha tendencies. Bolder, more self-assured and more confident in his recognition of Mr. Conley as a friend. He is actually seeking his attention and affection and I wish that Mr. Conley was inclined to convey that to Milo.

@@rllapte I disagree. When asked if my dog bites my reply is, “she’s a dog and capable”. I thought it was a cute “footsie” game, but I would not trust a wild animal.

@@rllapte If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's never say "never."

​@@rllapte It's a wild animal...

He has already said he will not use bear spray. Maybe diluted vinegar spray? That is what I do when I take my dogs for walks and encounter a dog that’s just a little too interested in me or my own dog. Obviously don’t shoot for the eyes. But a good dose in their mouth should back them up.

Они любят овес,малину,а интересно чем они питаются в лесу?

Simone is too tired to play and so the kids want to mess with you instead.

thinking maybe she has fleas or some sort of skin condition..looking a little itchy and rough around the edges!

@@nancysexton545 - A skin condition or a parasite is way more plausible than the “frazzled frustrated mother” scenario being peddled here. This isn’t Patrick’s daughter bringing the kids to visit grandpa. It’s a trio of wild bears coming out of the woods to forage. Despite all the cutesy analogies to grandkids, the bears are being massively disrespected.

Yes I agree

@@chrisdraughn5941 How are the bears being disrespected??? Patrick is a wonderful, careful man with the bears......

Patrick may have to take her temperature to see if she's allright ;-)

Looks like mange.

She did look quite miserable! Ticks and Lyme Disease are a big problem in this area, and I’m just a few hours north east of Asheville, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our dogs stay on flea tick meds from mid Spring into Fall. There are some other tick carried diseases, too, here. Our dog has seasonal allergies and we get him allergy meds. He actually lets us know when he wants a pill for relief. It makes him sleepy, so we don’t keep him on it 24/7. Simone reminded me of that same itching…and her eyes look watery.

Yes, she looked not so well ..

@@ronnie-being-ronnie you sound like an awesome dog owner! Our dog had Lyme’s diseas (although it’s inactive) and seasonal allergies as well. Poor thing.

Trust is used for human interactions, not wild animals.

😂😂😂

Especially them ducks.

Don’t think Patrick feeds them

Bu t you do not know for sure!

Yeah especially when they hungry...

They're hungry. They're trying to figure out if he's something they can eat. This guy is a moron and going to get someone hurt or the bears killed.

Almost, but not!

Posing for "Playbear" of the year.

It's the full package.

😄 🤣 😂

🤣🤣🤣

#relatable

Half grown. Milo has a full grown ego.

@@kathryngeeslin9509 he certainly has some HUGE claws

@@maryannsarkady7950 I noticed.

Asheville was warmer than usual a couple of days ago.

No they will get a lot bigger before leaving their mom. It used to be that experts thought bears stayed with their moms around a year and a half, but now they claim bears stay on average 2 and a half years. They claim that bears are now staying an extra year compared to 30 or 40 years ago. In reality they have just done more research and found out they were wrong. Some experts have even witnessed bears stay with their moms for around 5 years. A lot of times you will see a bunch of bear cubs that are much bigger than the mom, and they are still following her around. I think it really just depends on the bears, and there is no real set time, but it does seem apparent that most bears stay longer with their mom than most experts claim. Kinda weird how the experts keep getting things wrong. They must've really had their minds blown when they discovered whales and dolphins breastfeed their babies.

Milo was kind of unique. He was by far the most playful. Thanks!

Not sayin I would do better but I don't know that I would consider that to be a respectful distance

I noticed that

I was wondering the same thing. I hope Simone isn’t sick! I’m hoping she’s just a little worn out raising rambunctious teenagers.

I suspect she just has a case of tired mother syndrome. But I wonder if wildlife officials have set up a protocol to provide veterinary care if a known bear takes ill.

she is so tired.

Putting up with Milo would take a toll on any mother. I'm sure he tests her like he tests Patrick.

Mange

One year, they were born last year. I think they will be with mom a bit longer. They have a bit more to learn about how to be a bear. But it will be ever so sad when they find their own way in life. And good at the same time - because they are strong, healthy bears.

It might not sound very reassuring but mother bear is nearby just in case. If the cub decided to do something funny she'd likely step in.

I think they were a little testy because there wasn't any bird feed for them to scarf down!!! 🐻🐻

@@myracahill7409 yes I did have that thought also

Patrick sure is brilliant with the bears isn't he? There's a lot of respect from both sides, that's why the bears know they can trust him.

@@LittleKitty22 something tells me, hes been doing this a long time! I think he speaks Bear, n thats why they know their boundaries! ❤🐻❤🐻❤🐻

You folks are not understanding animals. The cub is not a helpless baby now so mom feels no need to protect the cub especially not from a friend that has helped her feed the babies

Also black bear are quite gentle by nature. That's not to say they aren't strong ( can break into car or cabin if very hungry) but usually don't attack people unless you strongly provoking it.

@@donnacsuti4980 Quite the opposite, I think you fail to understand that they are wild animals with VERY strong maternal instincts. Not such strong instincts that she would randomly attack for no reason, but it's far from out of the question

why don't you just leave apples or berries on the path??

3:08 that little face, "But I wanna play :( "

@@alexia3552 "Leave it alone Milo, we still don't know what that is. Some weird fur-less bear"

yup

absolutely not. He was curious and wanted to play.

@@DiabloOutdoors There is just about zero difference between play and testing boundaries.

@@robertwilson8184 Really? LOL Get a degree in biology then spend 20+ years studying bears in the field, then you'll be allowed to talk. End of discussion.

Это не такие опасные медведи как Гризли, но всё равно странно видеть их свободное перемещение по деревне.

Черные медведи убили много людей в Америке, хотя они меньше по размеру. Обычно медведь напуган или загнан в угол. Но, по крайней мере, американские черные медведи не так агрессивны, как евразийские черные медведи. Или лунные медведи.
