And after that, at 8:52, you can see that poor deer having to deal with the smell of that bear. It can smell the bear all over the place, which is terrifying it, but it also needs to drink. It makes you realize just what a golden age humanity lives in. If you think about it, back before the U.S. was a country, if you went out into the wild, and went to a spring, or water hole, you too had to be aware of your surroundings...to make sure wolves, mountain lions, or bears didn't happen upon you. But now, getting water is so casual, we don't even think about it. The greatest golden age mankind has ever experienced, and all we can do is complain about everything. Animals have to constantly worry about being eaten, or killed by a rival. And we cry about them messing up our order at McD's.

@Michael.Outside

Everyone going vegan would actually require more land mass dedicated to agriculture. To grow plants on an industrial scale, they clear massive amounts of ground and kill every living organism (every tree, every mouse, rabbit, etc) that used to be there. Then they make sure to keep away every animal that wants to eat that food being grown. It’s sad to see something die but killing and eating deer, elk, etc and leaving quality habitat ensures wild animal populations still exist more than the whole world going vegan would. Once land is put to the plow it’ll never be inhabited with the biodiversity it once had (that being said, many farmers do provide more habitat to wildlife than a new city in the same location would). Habitat is the key to the future of wildlife. I’ll never tell someone what they should eat. But there are no simple solutions in terms of “everyone should do this or that”.

As someone living in England it's great to be able to watch different types of animals in nature at it's best in a completely different environment, very cool and relaxing

Bears are nasty....got a lot of bad things stuck to their fur.

Fascinating

I’m 99.9% positive those bears are relieving themselves in that pool.

Great video. I lived in Arizona. I spent time off Stoneman Lake Road and in Rattle snake Canyon. There are bears there also . Such a joy to see them. These water pools are so important for the wildlife that visit them. I am in my 80's now and and this video brought back a whole bunch of memories. Thanks.

It's funny how the black bear and the black bear cub look so much like grizzlies

Wow! I had no idea bears loved water so much. The mountain lion w/ her cub, was by far my fav footage. Spectacular. The skunk was hilarious. Ha.

Hot in Arizona

The bears and mountain lions are just chilling. Whereas the deer looks like it's about to bolt at any moment. The life of a top predator just seems a lot more stress-free.

They stress too, especially earlier in life. But you’re correct that deer live a very nervous existence.

The Bear bathtub 🤣👍💕

Every single animal noticed or checked out the camera. No wonder you don't see Bigfoot on trail cams they know they are there. Love the bears bathing, they love it.

It was actually Bigfoot holding the cam at the end recording the mountain lion, you can here him moving his hand over the mic.

That ring-tailed critter was so cute! Never knew we had such animals here in America. Thanks for showing it!

So cool to see the cougars! Mountain lions are misunderstood animals and are very likely a threatened species (it’s debatable since they are very hard animals to find, but we know that their numbers are dropping drastically). While some places still have large populations, most of their natural habitat has been abandoned. They face a lot of danger from humans and bigger predators. It’s so lovely to see some thriving in the wild! This was a perfect snapshot of all the local wild animals. I didn’t know there were bears in Arizona. And that ring tailed cat thing looked like something from the jungle lol.

Mountain lions are not endangered. They're so many that their actually spreading to the East who hasn't seen them for 100+ years. The only ones that were on the threatened list in the recent past was the Florida Panther and even their numbers are fairly healthy now.

Mountain lions currently inhabit more of the US then they ever have historically, ur being fed propaganda by so called “animal rights organizations” when damn near everything they want would be severely damaging to the natural environment. Not only do hunters play a huge role in population control, but they fund nearly every aspect of nature preservation and national parks in the states

All predators are actually making a big comeback in the states after being decimated in the 20th centry. The explosion of the deer population over the last 25 years, has made people realize the necessity of alpha predators. Unfortunately, in the north east USA, where they are needed most, big cats are still extinct for the most part.

I live in maine and the state will not acknowledge that mountain lions live here so that they don't have to take any measures to protect them. But there have been plenty of sightings and I myself believe I saw one driving home one night, it completely floored me. Just to say, yes they are moving East lol
