we woke up one morning with Steve on the
radio saying hey one of the traps have
been has been tripped burn prepares his
tranquilizer dart
oh yeah
so Verne darts the bear within 10
minutes it’s asleep sleepy from that
point on it’s very straightforward
process for deployment of the critter
cam got callers that are easily adjusted
to different size next and within a
minute or two we can have it down to the
right size and then it’s just simply a
matter of snapping together a releasing
component on the release buckle and the
system is deployed gonna be locked in
that will be loved okay so now we’ve
gotten a caller on behind prefer to wait
there up within 10 or 15 minutes that
bear is awakened again ready to walk off
and for us
the critter cam system is transmitting
an image from a live wild bear to our
remote receiving station quarter mile
away systems working actually I sought
out a bear in the picture what we found
out was its family group right there for
the bear whether the foul attempt the
bear went back to foraging and feeding
almost immediately quickly we can we got
to see some of the things that it feeds
on Devil’s club berries skunk cabbage
blueberries and grasses that we really
hadn’t known that much about evidently
they’ve got some of the same problems
that we have when we heat too much
because at one point she real is she
admits this great big felt that in some
cultures would indicate that she’s
satisfied well when she gets back
together with her family group they’re
making noises there grunting there
growling at one point the bear with the
critter camp collar on it encounters of
one of its siblings what appears to be
one of its siblings and there appears to
be kind of a struggle that ensues
there’s a moment of tension there that
gets resolved when the other bear backs
down and backs off slowly at one point
cheek comes to a group of bears probably
your family group and they’re all sort
of huddled together and they’re taking a
nap she reaches out she begins to dig
yourself with all the day been
one of the reasons that these bears are
in this particular habitat at this time
of year is because of sim eventually our
bear went down to the stream is starting
to fish
this was a proof-of-concept pilot
project will this work I’ve set it up to
play the color at seven p.m. on the
evening of the 24th sends signals to the
caller remotely and it pops off the next
step of course is to go recover all
right there it is and this is a lot of
work but there’s a good reason to do it
if we can learn fundamental new things
about behavior and ecology of these
animals in their natural habitat well we
understand the pen and the better we
understand that the more we can
empathize is the more we care about
these species the harder we’re going to
work to make sure that we protect them
and their habitats
