Wonderful world of bears: MPG Ranch releases latest video on black bears

Baby bears buzz like a hive of bees when they are nursing.

"It’s the weirdest thing," said MPG Ranch https://www.mpgranch.com/ biologist Kylie Paul. "It actually sort of sounds like they’re humming. Then they stop and they breathe and then the sound starts all over again. I’ve never heard anything quite like it."

And that’s saying something when you’re talking to a biologist who has spent countless hours out in the woods observing all sorts of different critters.

Paul is a member of the MPG Ranch’s team that documents the lives of the black bears that call the sweeping 16,400-acre ranch east of Florence home. The team uses video captured on about 200 strategically placed trail cameras.

The ranch released its fourth bear video recently. It’s filled with surprising footage of bears being bears seemingly without a worry in the world. It can be viewed at https://vimeo.com/channels/1073221/261555913
