Wild Chronicles: Bear Tracking and Behavior

The video documents a wildlife research project involving the deployment of a Critter Cam on a bear. The process begins with tranquilizing the bear, fitting it with a collar, and observing its behavior in the wild. The Critter Cam provides insights into the bear's foraging habits, interactions with its family, and habitat preferences, particularly its feeding on salmon. The project aims to enhance understanding of bear ecology and behavior, emphasizing the importance of conservation efforts. Sponsored by National Geographic, the project highlights the need for empathy and protection of wildlife and their habitats.
