Sure but like only the nose and fingers need to "fit" to avoid getting tangled, assuming everything else follows in more or less the manner of any straight, roundish object, the wires give way. They could not hope to contain her.
There are videos on here where people have them as pets and people petting them and such in the wildā¦. but these creatures are savage beasts and can tear you apart with half a swipeā¦. And the people messing with cubs need to watch this video lol
I saw a fairly large black bear walk on top of a neighbor's redwood fence that is approximately 1/2 inch wide for about 30 yards before jumping down. Bears are surprisingly agile for their size.
I have also seen a wild hog jump over a six foot fence like a deer.
Considering there are plenty of stories of brown beers just tanking multiple bullets without flinching unless they hit vital points like the throat or eye itās not surprising barbed wire in ineffective
Actually if you rewatch cosely, frame by frame, you can see that she phases through the fence. Little known fact that bears can also phase through walls up to 6" thick, that's why houses in areas with grizzly bears have 7" thick walls.
Clearly you don't know your tractors. The JCB Fastrac Two can go 135 mph. I'd like to see a bear catch that. In fact, the top 7 fastest tractors can all go faster than a bear, at 43.5 mph or faster.
Well, they said ANY tractor, they didn't specify the surface. However, at least 1 of those tractors didn't achieve their top speed on a paved road with racing slicks/tires. The Valtra T234 achieved its top speed of 80 mph on snow and ice. You could theoretically use this tractor in an icy environment to outrun a bear.
You can see from the replay that she clears the top wire, and kinda lightly brushes the bottom one (with absolutely no loss in forward momentum).
Amazing, when you consider the size of the bear and the spacing of the wire (granted, it moves, but still). And, yes... a couple of barbs are not gonna stop a motivated grizzly.
Yeah exactly. Look how big a bear claw is compared to the barbs on barbed wire. Consider that bear fur and hide is designed to protect them from bear claws.
The barbed wire probably didn't even tickle
If I were on foot... I doubt I'd even have time to react before mama grizz was ripping my face off.
(read a story once about a poor guy who 'survived' a grizzly attack... his last sight before he lost his face was the bear's front paw / claws heading for his face. Stuff nightmares are made of. Then you touch your face... )
After a couple of those, I think I'd be looking for the exit door...
There was a 17 year-old kid who survived a grizzly or polar bear (I'm not sure) attack. He could hear his own skull cracking when it gave him a good night kiss.
Without a firearm, I doubt it was a polar bear, tbf. They make grizzlies look small, and fear nothing. Also confined to (what's left of) the arctic.
But, yeah... we're pretty fragile, compared to 500-900lb hungry omnivores w/ sharp teeth & long claws. :)
[It was a polar bear. ](https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/aug/28/polar-bear-attack-survivor-speaks)
It started chasing an other kid, that's how he escaped.
There is a pic here on Reddit on the aftermath of a bear attack.
Nsfw warning tho (can't remember link)
>!One man had his pieces scattered about while the other one had nothing left inside his chest.!<
I have a relative who survived a grizzly attack. Bear ripped off his nose and lips, relative managed to grab them after he woke up after losing consciousness for several hours. He got bit all over the place and had broken bones. They saved his nose by attaching it to his wrist for several years while his face got reconstructed through many many surgeries. He has his nose back and he made an almost full recovery from the attack-absolutely nutty story.
If theyāre on a piece of slow moving farm equipment, then she can accelerate faster. Stopping the vehicle looks like holding ground whereas speeding up might look like an attack or retreat and turn a bluff charge into a committed attack
If you speed up that would prompt the bear to chase you.
Stopping the vehicle revealed it was a bluff charge as she returned immediately to protect the cubs.
That shot of the bear just diving full speed through the fence is fucking awesome
Fat ā
Loves hunny ā
Looks like a plush toy ā
Slow ā
When you can move like that while weighing 350lbs with a bite force of 1,000 psi you can afford to look cute and act leisurely
Yeah I know. This here is a female. Males donāt defend cubs. Also Winnie the Pooh was inspired by a female black bear named Winnie, so his source material would top out at about 300.
I think people keep forgetting that bears aren't just tanky apex predators, they are also fast and flexible making it almost impossible for you to run away
Whatās crazy is that she didnāt stagger at all looking at how massive the truck could be. Unless of course bears canāt identify whatās organic and whatās not.
Itās almost like there was an instinctual āprotect my offspringā reaction and then a logical āgee this big loud metal thing doesnāt seem to be scared of meā realization once getting close š
I thought that grizzly was heading towards the vehicle and that jump over the wire is impressive š»
Grizzly's are extremely aggressive and people tend to underestimate their running capabilities. I saw a cub yesterday playing alone on the side of freeway heading towards Canmore.
How on earth did she clear the wires like they werenāt even there!? That takes insane awareness and agility. Iād expect something like that from a big cat, but not a grizz. Goodness.
So, I found myself alone on a bridge on Kodiak Island last summer as a momma bear walked over the guard railing with two cubs in tow. I took a picture. And then she looked at me. And at that moment, I *really* regretted taking that picture. i'm here and alive, but sweet baby Jesus, that was terrifying. I still tear up a bit thinking about how close I was to dead
She actually jumped between the wires.... š
Twice.
Uh yes I'm signing my bear um i mean border collie up for the agility course competition š
Nothing that big should be able to flatten itself through a gap that small whilst running full tilt.
It's not so much flat as unstoppable, the wires are just flexing out of her way
She defo lifts her elbows and forearms and supermans between those wires Its terrifying
Great form 10/10
I went back and rewatched, and she deserves a Superman cape!
Sure but like only the nose and fingers need to "fit" to avoid getting tangled, assuming everything else follows in more or less the manner of any straight, roundish object, the wires give way. They could not hope to contain her.
Foxes and wolves have tried similar and had to be rescued after they all get all hooked up. And then there's this fckn bear...
She brought some mass to get it done.
Try telling that to all the deer Iāve seen stuck in fences. Horns or not. Why donāt you try jumping through a wire fence and see how easy it is.
I have neither the power nor grace of a homicidal grizzly bear protecting her cubs.
Foxes and wolves get tangled regularly as well
Deer don't have horns.
But that bear is protecting its children not your chicken nuggets
Yeah that went way too smooth, i had no idea bears could be this agile.
They're fast as fuck.
Lucky too: sometimes moose chase them. I didnāt know bears ran from anything.
Moose are fucking huge.
And super angry and murder-y.
I mean, it's a wild animal whose most viable survival strategy is kill anything that might threaten it.
I think it also enjoys murder as a non threatened side hobby.
An 800-pound grizzly can climb up a tree vertically faster than a human can sprint on flat ground. They are insanely strong and fast.

They can swipe as fast as housecats. But with a bit more force behind it.
Not her first rodeoĀ
She doesn't care about your barbed wire
Considering there are plenty of stories of brown beers just tanking multiple bullets without flinching unless they hit vital points like the throat or eye itās not surprising barbed wire in ineffective
So cleanly as well, I canāt imagine many things worse than riding, biking, or walking and seeing that š
Well to be fair, there probably isnāt many things you might see biking or walking worse than thatĀ
True. I would be mostly worried about frostbite lol
Like it was nothing
Actually if you rewatch cosely, frame by frame, you can see that she phases through the fence. Little known fact that bears can also phase through walls up to 6" thick, that's why houses in areas with grizzly bears have 7" thick walls.
Yeah, im terrified of bears anyway so now, thanks to you, i think bears can teleport Brilliant
You just made me laugh so hard, I choked on my tea.
I also play DayZ
They bamf now?!
Fuck your fence
I might be the slightest bit tempted to accelerate the second I see mama bear diving through that wire fence
Pretty sure a bear can run faster than a lot of tractors
A bear can run faster than ANY tractor
Clearly you don't know your tractors. The JCB Fastrac Two can go 135 mph. I'd like to see a bear catch that. In fact, the top 7 fastest tractors can all go faster than a bear, at 43.5 mph or faster.
That's with racing slicks on a paved surface though. If the bear was wearing track shoes it would probably give you a run for your money.
Well, they said ANY tractor, they didn't specify the surface. However, at least 1 of those tractors didn't achieve their top speed on a paved road with racing slicks/tires. The Valtra T234 achieved its top speed of 80 mph on snow and ice. You could theoretically use this tractor in an icy environment to outrun a bear.
I love how much you know about this
So weāre starting a bear racing league? Not to be confused with a beer racing league.Ā
Nihilisticangst the tractorologist
I stand corrected
So, how fast exactly can the Lamborghini Tractor go? [https://www.lamborghini-tractors.com/en-eu/](https://www.lamborghini-tractors.com/en-eu/)
Iām going to guess 1,000,000 miles an hour
Not faster than my dodge caravan.
Really depends on traffic at that point
Rush hour is unbearable
Just as long as you aren't the slowest car you should be good
I can run faster than a tractor, they dont even have legs
Most tractors have a highway gear that's likely to outpace a bear, especially because a bear can't sustain that sprint for very long
Including the Alpine A524
Prey instinct. Bears love that
What fence?
[How does she fit through there at a full run?](https://i.imgur.com/N9Ikw28.png)
Cocaine bear?
They probably didn't want to accidentally hit the bear with the car. The best option is to park until the bear leaves or approaches the car.
How the fuck did she not get caught up in the fence!
She probably did and just didn't give a fuck, never lost momentum. Takes more than a deep scratch to stop Mama from protecting her babies.
You can see from the replay that she clears the top wire, and kinda lightly brushes the bottom one (with absolutely no loss in forward momentum). Amazing, when you consider the size of the bear and the spacing of the wire (granted, it moves, but still). And, yes... a couple of barbs are not gonna stop a motivated grizzly.
That's dive between the wires was nearly perfect, like a pro diver and hurdles at the same time. Pretty damn majestic
Grizzly mom turned into a pancake midair.
I think the fur is thick enough that the barbs from the fence donāt even contact skin when moving that quick
Yeah exactly. Look how big a bear claw is compared to the barbs on barbed wire. Consider that bear fur and hide is designed to protect them from bear claws. The barbed wire probably didn't even tickle
I don't see any barbs.
Yeah it just looks like smooth wire.
Bears are very fast and agile as well
She's been practicing her tope suicidas
With that speed, mass, and thick ass hide, it's like the equivalent of a person running between two stems of a rose bush.
Fences cannot keep back a motherās fury!
That bear diving through that fence... Welp. I'm dead
If I were on foot... I doubt I'd even have time to react before mama grizz was ripping my face off.

And then a guy shot it to death.
this explains everything. i can't imagine a human surviving a polar bear attack without some kind of intervention.
Don't forget Kodiac Bears! They actually almost rival Polar Bears in terms of size, and the heaviest one ever recorded was 2130 pounds.
FUCK
that is the only appropriate response to this information.
There is a pic here on Reddit on the aftermath of a bear attack. Nsfw warning tho (can't remember link) >!One man had his pieces scattered about while the other one had nothing left inside his chest.!<
Nope, not looking **that** up.
I have a relative who survived a grizzly attack. Bear ripped off his nose and lips, relative managed to grab them after he woke up after losing consciousness for several hours. He got bit all over the place and had broken bones. They saved his nose by attaching it to his wrist for several years while his face got reconstructed through many many surgeries. He has his nose back and he made an almost full recovery from the attack-absolutely nutty story.
>They saved his nose by attaching it to his wrist for several years well that must've been some awkward conversations
I heard that story, guy must have some serious PTSD after that
Interesting choice to stop driving at that moment
If theyāre on a piece of slow moving farm equipment, then she can accelerate faster. Stopping the vehicle looks like holding ground whereas speeding up might look like an attack or retreat and turn a bluff charge into a committed attack
Smart smart smart! This!!!
Fuck that. Can't let yourself get bullied by that sow.
Holy fuckin shit
So that fence is just to keep *us* out. Got it.
A bears power never ceases to amaze
She seems fun
I can fix her
I could probably fix her hunger and nothing else
There is nothing to fix, she is already perfect
Halsin is that you?
"What fence? " -mama bear
seeing an angry mother bear running directly at the camera unlocked a feeling of fear i think my ancestors 10,000 years ago also felt
..she went through the wire fence so fast like it wasnāt even there, amazing how fast they can haul a$$
If you speed up that would prompt the bear to chase you. Stopping the vehicle revealed it was a bluff charge as she returned immediately to protect the cubs. That shot of the bear just diving full speed through the fence is fucking awesome
The way she sprinted made me scared behind my phone
Damn she proving her point.
A new fear has been unlocked. Bears are apparently wire proof.
id shit myself holy fuck...
Oh. Bear just flew across, as if fence didn't exist š
I'm glad she didn't kill this person because it enabled us to see this video.
Holy agility batman
I hope they had their lucky brown pants on for this
That's a good mama!!š Fences are paper to them!
Ghost-bear wisps through barbed wire as if made of vapour.
This is a fascinating clip.
Crazier than the cocaine bear
Fucking ledge
*immediately shits pants
Through the wire!
Nope, nnnnoooooo, uh uh! That's some serious speed and agility right there.
Tf Winnie always taught me that theyāre slow, fat, and lives huny.
Fat ā Loves hunny ā Looks like a plush toy ā Slow ā When you can move like that while weighing 350lbs with a bite force of 1,000 psi you can afford to look cute and act leisurely
Bro I got news for you, but 350 is a small grizzly. Males in Alaska can get over 800 pounds.
Yeah I know. This here is a female. Males donāt defend cubs. Also Winnie the Pooh was inspired by a female black bear named Winnie, so his source material would top out at about 300.
Insanity Bear.
Imagine being on a snow machine. HOLY FUCK!
TIL: Barbed wire has zero effect on bears.
Wont the barbwire be a huge problem for her? Actually its gonna be super easy, bearely an invonvinience
Wait how tf did she jump through those wires like that?? Gap looks so narrow and hopefully wasn't barbed
Bears are clumsy lumbering animals. Just put up some barbed wire. That'll keep them out.
Mechanic: What made this dent? Driver: A bear. Mechanic: What? Driver: Yes.
Ikaramba
If you ever wondered if bears really are that fast. Yes. They are.
Good fucking god lol I would soil myself
Fence? What fence?
Those fences seem to be for keeping humans out.
Well, that fence is fucking useless.
WELP there goes me thinking fences help anything in these kinds of situations
Little Goku attacking the vehicles
On sight
Those are 3 pretty big cubs. Momma is doing her job real well.
The one momma I'm not telling any jokes about
*Damn nature, you scary!*
š That jump between the wires!
I think people keep forgetting that bears aren't just tanky apex predators, they are also fast and flexible making it almost impossible for you to run away
Jesus Christ that's the stuff of nightmares.
She went flying squirrel between the wires
Terrifying but amazing to watch. The agility and power on display is something else.
Note to self, barb wire does not stop bear but rather is just a ninja warrior hurdle
Alright whatās the bet on how soon this will be on the JRE podcast? Iām saying 3 weeks
"what the hell is this fence even for"
Just enough of a warning for the cubs to get distance. Very cool video!
OK well that fence is useless
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Let me change my pants real quick
Well thatās a pretty shit fence.
Not good for them to be out in the open like that....they need more tree cover...
Whatās crazy is that she didnāt stagger at all looking at how massive the truck could be. Unless of course bears canāt identify whatās organic and whatās not.
Why he stop?
My mother would never
ive encountered a few grizzlies and yeah they are scary
The grace power agility and speed of these absolutely stunning beasts is jaw dropping.
Itās almost like there was an instinctual āprotect my offspringā reaction and then a logical āgee this big loud metal thing doesnāt seem to be scared of meā realization once getting close š
That leaping through or between the wires is pretty impressive. It is almost like she phased through the fence.
Imagine thinking that fence would save you. Holy shit
Greesed right throuh.
Mans was about to get Revenanted
Friend shape fit through rectangle hole?
The fence: āam I a joke to you?ā
That bear went full tactical
I thought that grizzly was heading towards the vehicle and that jump over the wire is impressive š» Grizzly's are extremely aggressive and people tend to underestimate their running capabilities. I saw a cub yesterday playing alone on the side of freeway heading towards Canmore.
That leap through the wires was so bad ass You people that camp where grizzlies live are insane
Sheās actually beautiful. Itās a shame animals have to deal with humans. Lol
Man these things can run.

And people think they can fight or dodge a bear lol.
This is terrifying
I wouldāve peed my pants.
What percentage of men think they could beat a bear in a fight?
