There is a lot to love about Alaskan wildlife. Some common creatures to admire include: Moose, wolves, whales, puffins, and more. But when people imagine the animals of Alaska, bears may be the very first ones that come to mind. And there’s a very good reason why! This beloved state is home to an estimated 30,000 bears. It’s no wonder people like Spencer are able to take on the role of Alaska Bear Guide!

Did you notice the moment this baby bear got spooked by the bird? When that happened, the little guy stood up. This seems to have been an attempt to make himself appear bigger and, in turn, more threatening. Thankfully, there was no danger. To celebrate, this cub treated himself to a cool looking shell he found on the ground. Oh, to be a baby brown bear frolicking on an Alaskan beach!

“My red flag is I would 100% think he wants to be petted and hugged,” someone admits in reply to Spencer’s video. Other commenters add, “The baby bear doesn’t even look much bigger than that seagull” and “Thank you for this cinematic masterpiece.”
As tempting as it may be to pet a brown bear cub, that is incredibly dangerous. Instead, make sure to admire them from afar. And if you do ever cross paths with one, be sure to follow the advice of experts.
