Well Granny there is only two cameras live at the moment , Falls and underwater one. Don't expect we'll see any action at the falls until the salmon run starts which won't be too long and then the feast will begin...when they switch on the lower river camera and by the bridge we should then be able to see some of our furry friends. Rangers have reported some sightings but not if Otis yet . Hopefully he'll turn up at Falls to get his share of salmon. Me I become totally obsessed with watching all the characters of these bears they all so different. I'm beginning to recognise them now and with the help of others on forum can keep up with them. As I say like Bear Corrie ha.
It's my escape from all the doom and gloom going on in this country and the world , well fed up of Brexit and all the politicians at the moment.

Well I'm almost in tears ,Cools. Last night after seeing your post, I went onto explore, the river was gushing and I saw a few comments so decided to log on.
That was the end. I suppose I am one step further, being able to log on. However as soon as I did the whole thing froze my computer. I couldn't log off, so left it until this am. When I started up this morning I'm still logged on and going onto the site still freezes everything on my screen. So can't log off, can't see anything, freezes the whole computer and I have to close down every time I dare to try to access it.

What am I doing wrong ? Using Internet Explorer might be the cause, but can't see why... always have done and the same doesn;t happen on any other site.

Aaaawh how cute is this? Two Katmai bears all loved up. Ones named Walker and female named Amelia, just so lovely to watch them.

That is cute , Cools. I still can't do anything with 'Explore'. Still logged on, frozen screen so can't log off and can't see anything just the top of the page, I have sent a message to them on their FB page but no one has bothered to answer. So I don't know. I'm seriously upset as I loved to follow the different animals in places on the world map. This being the second year of no luck, I assume it will always be the same.
You will have to keep me posted on Otis.. Cools.

Sorry you having trouble getting on site Granny, I have some problems but I would be going mad if I didn't get to see and read what's going on. Yes Otis returned yesterday much to everybody's delight, we all love Otis.
Having abit if a hard time though because there are lots of big boys there who don't like sharing space at the falls. All trying to sort the order of toughest bears. Quite sad to see him being chased off by the young bully bears. That's how it is in bear land though.

Forgot to say he is 22 years old which is apparently good for bears.

They've probably got a rifle in their back pocket ! (only joking) Quite brave but if there are plenty of fish, I dare say the bears will be more interested in their own bellies atm.

Otis, 22yrs old ? Goodness ! How is he getting on with the younger bears ?

p.s. That is a fabulous photo you posted of him.. thanks Cools . He looks a little lighter but really well..

Well I think one of them will have a gun , definitely all have bearspray think that's a must at Brooks camp....I would love to go there but would be nervous as you come across these bears in camp and on the footpaths. Would have to be with a big group and a ranger. You do have to go to a talk about how to act when you get to this place but their safety record is very good . These bears are very used to being around humans as long as you give them their space and with plenty of salmon about hopefully humans not on their menu!
Yes Otis is doing ok , he has his little scuffles and usually moves off to these younger ones. All the bears having a tough time at the mo because of this top bear who is so aggressive and grumpy. Just called 856 he's a mean badass.As soon as he comes on the scene all other bears are on edge and many make a swift exit. You can almost hear that music ' The good the bad and the ugly 'as he walks. Everybody was upset on Wednesday because he chased after one of the big boars and unfortunately came across a sow with two little Cubs. He killed one cub the other shinned up a tree , momma got hurt and ran off so poor little bear stuck up a tree wailing all day. Finally came down and nobody knew what happened to it. Thankfully the mum and cub reunited and were seen together.
Oh the dramas of the brooks falls bears, but as the ranger said he's only being a bear and you don't get to the top by being nice.
Pity you can't get on I am addicted, it's a relief when they hibernate and I can get back to normal ,ha.

I watched the 'bad boys' . Thanks Cools. Are they last years babies ?

Tonight I am delighted as I deleted browsing history, and it has righted Explore.org for me. I can at least see the different cams now, but I will not sign in again, just in case the problem returns.. Now I can watch all that's going on..

Glad you can watch again Granny. Haven't watched too much today been busy . It's crazy at the the moment so many sub adults, they're like the teenagers hanging around the falls . They are the little ones who get run off by momma when they about 2 years. It's dangerous for them to be around when the mating starts , the boars kill them so they can get to the sows. You feel so sorry for them because their mom can be fishing and getting salmon but they get none . I think they in their prime when about 5 years old and then they have to assert themselves and try to be top bear. As I say 856 so aggressive ,so tense when he about.
Hark at me a right David Attenborough I think I am,not. Ha .
They've started a Gorilla camera now as well, early days yet but that's another animal I'm fascinated with, god that means nothing will get done now .lol..

Got it all sorted now, Cools.. Changed web browser.

Just been watching the salmon. They are hanging about for something although I don't know what. Looks as if they are lining up ..1,2,3, GO !

No bears at the falls. Maybe they know something and hoping to catch their feast further down.. You could possibly throw more light on it.
