A peek in to a young Grizzly Bears life.
After observing grizzlies for several years, it's amazing to watch how these animals behave and learn from their mothers.
In the United States we have less than 1500 grizzly bears remaining (down from 50,000 in 1800s).
Disclaimer:
No matter how cuddly they might look, grizzlies could be very dangerous to humans, and in any circumstances we should avoid encounters with them at all times and take precautions not to interact with them. A mother grizzly with cubs will be specially aggressive and will defend her cubs from any threat.
Please be kind and respect all animals!

Whenever I need a bit of calm in my life I come to honeysada.
Dandie is such a perfect name for him. Brave horses! But sad to see Dandie sulking, he just wanted to hang out with everyone. 🐴🐻💛
Is this a dream? How wonderful to live so closely and respectfully with animals and nature. And Dandy is just dandy, what a beautiful bear.
Plot twist: The horses were rushing to welcome their new friend. "hey buddy, where ya going? aw shucks"
Ha ha ha!!! I can’t believe the horses are chasing the bear! That made me literally laugh out loud
Dandy is a handsome young bear. Thank you for the education. Bears have the most superior sense of smell among animals.
'Please be kind and respect all animals!' Can not agree more!
This video is a breath of fresh air.
"Why did you chase me away? I was just looking for dandelions." Stay safe Dandie.
I wish a very happy and long life for Dandie the grizzly bear. May he never come across humans with bad intentions who want to hunt animals.
Bears do not have vets in the wild. They get bee stings and bug bites. The manure is gross to us, but it is smart healing for bears. The texture makes a poultice. The bile has a salts effect like Epsom salt. The mulched up alfalfa and grasses have nutrients that aid healing and condition skin and fur. Indians use mud instead of manure for healing. Your videos are simply the best. Hope you make more. Have a wonderful week.
Dandie, I am looking forward to seeing you. Nanny has your approval. I am jealous of the country side. You live in a stunning place.
His property is part of Yellowstone national Forest . What a life this guy has and his animals
It's stunningly cute to see a bear eating dandelions. :-) Love that big fluffy grey cat, too.
So good to see your ranch again, thank you for sharing the beauty, and for your love for all animals.
Yeah me too..I absolutely love this guys films. He used to have the best looking beagle Shepherd doggie named hudson, but he died. That dog looked exactly like my ole pup beagle named Mikey whom I miss tremendously. To of been able to have the beautiful property like this place does would of been truly heaven.
What a wonderful surprise on a hard Monday for me. Pictures of Dandie mowing up the dandelions. Your beautiful videos sooth me in a way few things can. Thank you so very much for sharing the bounty you live on. He honestly did look dejected after the horses chased him from their pasture. Looks like he sort of threw himself into the scrub and pouted. Can't blame the horses, that is their pasture. It didn't hurt Dandie to much, since he came back to mow more dandelions down. Glad I got to see Nanny too. Thank you again. Blessed be. J in Oregon
Jannetta Tibbs I was just writing the same thing! After a hard day and I see that he has uploaded a movie I know it will brighten my day and give me peace and calm and happiness and I will laugh..
You're right, Dandie did pout! :D He sulked!
This can be a nice children's story book
This is how the whole world should be. A peacefull place where all animals are safe and only a few people should live and act the way you do, respect everything. Such a pitty we are with billions people on this planet destroying everything and making it a hell for most living beings.
Completely agree Ilse ....
Dear Honeysada, What a joy to see your little "Peaceable Kingdom!" Dandy is a gentle grizzly -- what a pleasure to see him eating all your dandelions! Who needs pesticides, when you have a dandelion loving bear?! lol It is always inspiring to see your videos! If the world of people approached Nature the way you do, this world would be a better place. Nanny looks like the Queen of the Corral, making sure everything is okay! Your horses are lovely, and smart enough not to let Dandy can simply throw his weight around to claim more dandelions! These videos are such a balm to the spirit! I'm sure it is a lot of work to maintain your "Animal World" and property, so there isn't always time to film. Do you get some stunning sunsets? You are such a gentle and loving person towards all the animals in your area. What a blessing you are! May you continue to enjoy good health, prosperity and joy in your life! Warmest wishes, Dianna (Southern MD)
Thank you for your kind words, yes we have beautiful sunset and sunrise here. Sun rises from mountains in the East and sets in the mountains in the West. ,,🙂
@@honeysada It would be wonderful to see a film of your wonderful sunrises and sunsets! Have a peaceful week! Best wishes, Dianna
Omg the babies trying to mimic mom rolling in the smelly stuff was hilarious! 😂
Dandie is a handsome fellow and he and I share something in common. A love of Dandelions! They are very nutritional for Dandie. His mama taught him well! Aside he and other creatures, Dandelions are nutritional for humans. They are packed with vitamins and minerals and can be eaten raw or cooked. But, do not eat dandelions that have been sprayed with weed killer. Even better, don't spray them at all. To see a meadow or yard dotted with beautiful, bright yellow Dandelions brightens up the green grass they grow in, like little suns! (This has been a public service announcement for those who only see Dandelions as weeds.) Thank you so much for sharing with us a part of your lovely and breathtaking world. I enjoy your videos immensely. You are blessed!
I completely agree with you. My husband and I (rest in peace darling) bought his father's place, so he could retire to California. He had an immaculate lawn that he spent hours on weekly and vast amounts of weed killers and bug killers. No weeds, all perfectly edged and blindingly green. I was taught to garden organically from my Grandmother. I let the dandelions and the clover come back. I pull and dig out the noxious weeds, but I leave the beneficials alone. When my father in law comes to visit I can see that this really bothers him. I just told him that dandelions are sometimes the very first food that awakening bees can have, clover too. He has slacked up on telling me how to garden. He gets concerned when the grass browns up here and there. I've told him that I would rather conserve such an important commodity. He used to water every day for 35 minutes. What a waste of water!! I water by hand and only the potted fuschias get water every day. These toxic chemicals are poisoning our water systems and our children. It is time to change the idea of "The Perfect Yard" and what it should look like. J in Oregon
So glad to see sweet Dandie again. May he always be safe and content.
This is one of the best channels on youtube. Thanks honeysada for sharing your beautiful world. You make me want to leave the city.
I love Dandie he is so beautiful & he is really magnificent in his field of Dandelions...such a perfect name for him.. 🧸 You are such a wonderful Naturalist showing us all the what a gorgeous place you live in. The fantastic variety of Wildlife that live in & around your home. Your horses are absolutely beautiful... I love horses & you have such beauties... beautiful variety of colours too.. It’s just Heavenly there...☺️ NANNY IS NUMBER ONE 👍🐈 SHE IS THE ONE WHO OBSERVES ALL OF THE RANCH & THE ANIMALS WHO LIVE THERE & THE VISITORS LIKE DANDIE 🧸🐈🥰 SHE IS A VERY SPECIAL CAT... SO EXQUISITE 😽😻. “I LOVE YOU NANNY” 🤗 BEAUTIFUL VIDEO AS ALWAYS... THANK YOU HONEYSADA..🧸🐈🐎☀️ GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL KINDNESS & LOVE FOR ALL THE ANIMALS..🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
"Naturalist!" The perfect word! Thank you. 😊💕
Love seeing Dandie! He is very handsome! He obviously feels very comfortable there. Please tell Nanny I just received my calendar, and that it is as beautiful as she is.Thank you so much!💛
Nanny should have a cameo in all videos! Love how you love animals.
You would think the dandelions would die out if they never get to seed. So good to see Nanny again.
You can see how safe all these animals feel. I’m glad you have this property and the adjacent wilderness to protect
Love the grizzly Bear . He a dandy fellow .😍🙃
SUCH BEAUTIFUL BEARS. 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🤩🤗😊😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I cannot tell you how much I adore your video's, how beautiful to see Dandie and his progress. You are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful place, thank you for sharing it with us 🐻 😍
I love Dandie bear- I have watched him grow from a small cub into a beautiful young bear . So glad to see him return every Spring to feast on dandelions 💕
Dandie is a subadult bear. He did run... but the horses had to work as a team to demonstrate & mark their territory. When a bear turns and runs he is not giving up. He is showing that he had chosen he does not have to fight this battle, only a confident bear can back off from a fight and show his counterparts his vulnerable side, his backside. He is a maturing strong bear who is master of his choices and territories. That was a good negotiation for all.
Amazing how the other critters don’t fear the Grizz.
Great story and I learned something...that the grizzly will mask their own scent. Thank you for sharing your life with the animals. Hugs to Nanny.🌻🥰
Miss Nanny !!! I am so happy to see you again :) with your friend, Dandie ! Thank you so much Honeysada.
You are such a magnificent storyteller. Your photography is perfect. You really drew me into Dandie’s story and I felt sorry for him too. Such a beautiful bear and fun watching him grow up and learn. Honeysada, you must be an incredible person. Thank you for creating happiness. 🤗✨🐈💫
It is a very happy day to see you are still with us. Im always waiting for that little bell to tell me you have posted new content. Just to see gorgeous Nanny is worth the wait. I was a bit concerned for the horses when Dandy got in to their space..but I see they know how to let Dandy know that there are certain boundaries not to cross. Besides, Dandy has a world of Dandelions on the other side. He is such a handsome bear. Everything lives in harmony on your land. Your peaceful kingdom is a blessing to us. And Honeysada, You are a blessing to us and to your land. 🤗❤️
What a life! This city dweller is living vicariously through your videos and commentary. Keep them coming!
I just got back from having minor surgery. Seeing Dandie, Nanny and the beautiful horses again is therapeutic ~ Now I don’t think I will need to use any pain pills ~ thank you! 😻🌏🌼🌺👍🏼💁🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
THIS needs to be turned into a children's book. Ok, ok....I'll be the first to buy it.
Great idea, truly. Hmm
When I reach a peak of stress in my life, I can always count on one of your beautiful videos to bring the levels down. So nice to see Nanny & meet a new 'friend' in Dandy.💜😊
Completely agree ...
Thank you for another video of the joy of creation, what a wonderful life.
I honestly watch your videos multiple times, you make such a quality content 👍
So glad to see .. EVERYONE..Nanny, Dandy, Corona, all happy and healthy in your little piece of our beautiful world!!!
Thank you for the video. Thank you for your kind heart. Your videos overflow with love and respect for nature and animals. In a world full of vice, abuse, exploitation and indifference your videos are an oasis. Be blessed.
Honeysada and Dandie. This is such a beautiful sharing. Thank you so much. Love from Borneo.
Nobody tells better than you ! One suggestion - Publish children story book and add a DVD of your videos. Kids and adults around the world will love . Thank you for the beautiful story .
An apex predator with a taste for little yellow flowers.
I assume he also eats the leaves that are still quite young and tender when the flowers are still blooming ...
You are a good storyteller. Dandie crossed the fence to make friends with horses. He felt rejected. Look his face.
Another great video. Hello Nanny, loved seeing you in your cameo role! Enjoy the remaining of the summer. 😻
You are a great story teller. The countryside and the animals are perfect. My father would have loved these videos and your sense of humor.
Amazing documentary of "Dandy" You certainly should win some kind of award for the classiest videos on You Tube! Thank you so much for all the love and care you give to these animals and allowing us a glimpse into your gorgeous surroundings!
Awe poor Dandie he just wanted more dandelions lol Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us. So awesome to see all this amazing wildlife.
This video was great, especially where mama and 2 cubs were rolling in the dark! Oh my that was funny! And Nanny even made her appearance too! Your channel rocks, just doesn’t have enough of them. Thank you for the education too!❤️
That was so Charming. I did not need the subtitles, and I love your accent. Also, that's very courageous of you to not be terrified of a grizzly bear.
You are so blessed to live in such a wonderful place and view the wildlife up close and personal. Thank you so much for sharing, love it...🥰🥰
Its good to know such Lithuanians like you! Nothing but resepct for your contribution to wildlife ! Greetings from Lithuania :)
"Talking about apples."
Love this video Dandi is quite a handsome young grizzly bear
Smart cooperative horses
He's gorgeous. What a sight to behold ❤
😁 Loved it. Thank you for sharing and I pray that Dandie lives a long free life
oh, that was wonderful, thank you so much!! And I am especially happy that Nanny made an appearance as I was missing her!! thank you for sharing such loveliness with us - God bless you!
Dandellions are actually domesticated human food and quite edible. When explorers would travel, they would scatter dandelion seeds to protect future generations against starvation.
I've tasted dandelion wine before. Ehh, it was okay. 🥴
Your stories warm my heart and show us what wildlife can teach us. Thank you.
Happy and most grateful for a new video from you. Thank you for taking the time and sharing. I have a great deal of respect for the way you respect wildlife, and don’t try to make pets out of dangerous and predatory animals. We can love and appreciate them .....from a distance.
Dandie has become an amazing and beautiful grizzly boy ..... wonderful story .... hope see him next spring ...
It's so important that you preserve wildlife, specially these bears.
Great video, thanks for sharing! So nice to hear how mama bear teaches her cubs how to fend for themselves. How wonderful all the animals at your place have found a place of refuge and peace...
What a magnificent Grizzly! Applause to the Horses for standing their ground.
I just love your videos. You are multi-talented, living in paradise (it would be for me), with wonderful animals (I love Nanny!). I just found another video I hadn't seen before, on preparing & staining boards for more of your creative endeavors (with Nanny helping, of course). My little fur-covered helper (Smokey, gray & white cat) follows me everywhere too. The bear story & your thoughtful comments were such a treat to find on my birthday! Anything from you is a welcome gift! I'm glad you have so many admirers & fans of your videos. Everything from you touches my heart; lovely touches of nature, & your creativity remind me of my dad, & our life in Alaska. How I'd love to meet you. Thank you so much for giving us visual food for our souls, in this troubled world.
Such a beautiful comment! Happy birthday to you, Connie! Hugs from Australia. xxx
Indeed a lovely comment, Conny. Happy birthday to you from The Netherlands
Beautiful. Thank you 😊
I hope he lives long!
Your understanding of animals and nature is beautifully expressed, (and photographed.) Thank you.
I didn’t know grizzlies eat flowers. Also this video is awesome!
I say 'what brave horses'. They did the right and best thing for everyone's safety. It's momentarily sad for Dandie, but it's better to put him in his place while he's still young. When he gets older and braver he could overstep his bounds. I love every one of your videos! You sure know how to make me smile. Thanks!!!
Not only does he remember where the good food source is but he remembers where the good people are!!! 😻 why would anyone roll their face in horse manure? Eeeew!!! 😱. Such harmony such peace!! I just want to watch them over and over again. When life here gets a little crazy I can just turn on your videos and melt We so look forward to your videos! Thank you so much thank you thank you thank you it all started with nanny😻😻😻
This was just awesome!! Dandie is still a youngster ... but a smart one. Nanny looks as beautiful as ever 🥰. Thank you for sharing with us.
Darius.....much too long between your videos! I know we would all love to see more of your home, land, animals (especially Nanny). Please don't wait so long until post your next one. And take good care of Nanny!!!
Awesome, pretty, fun, video 😁👌🐻🐎🐱! I'm so glad I subscribed. Takes me away from the concrete jungle city! 😉👍💟🐦
I am very afraid of bears, especially Grizzlies. I appreciate your upload so I can not be so afraid.
I never thought, horses would dare go near a big, dangerous predator like a grizzly. Hope, they know to stay away from she bears with cubs. Although if Dandy had shown signs of aggression instead of walking off, they would have probably backed off really quickly! We don’t have wildlife like that here in Germany, so this footage is a real treat for me 🙂
Safety in numbers!
lol was not expecting the horses to chase the bear away
Enjoy the video very much. It was very well edited. Lovely to see Dandie and Nanny again.
Beautiful, sweet Dandie 🐻🌻💖 I'm so happy to see him again. I'm so glad he didn't feel sad for too long after being chased by the horses and returned to the meadow for more dandelions :) Watching the mamma bear and her cubs rolling around with their legs in the air was so funny and joyful! This is a wonderful video, thank you so much!
Thank you for all the fantastic videos you share with us. All are greatly appreciated and treasured. I look forward to each glimpse into your beautiful part of the country and the amazing animals both yours and the wild ones. God Bless you and yours -
I agree with all the comments. I really love the atmosphere of Your videos.🌲
Yay, Dandie is back.
Thanks so much for sharing! This is my favorite channel on all of KZhead. Dandie is beautiful and I'm always happy to see Nanny. The horses knew Dandie was too young to stand his ground, I think.
Thank you for another wonderful video! I was beginning to worry about you, since there was nothing for a long time. Very happy to hear your voice again and to know that your animals are doing well. Big kiss for Nanny! 😁😘 and a little wave to Dandie! 👋👋
Beautiful video as usual, Dandie appears kind of lonesome, very pretty color fur, beautiful horses too, & especially good to see Nanny again
What a beautiful bear 🐻🍀💖. Thanks for sharing great video always 🙏
Dandi ran away Dandelions brought him back Because it’s his name
Sure is nice to go to bed with a smile on my face. Favorite scene : the infra-red camera in snow, all those rotund, fuzzy, stubby-tail bear butts rolling around! SO, so CUTE! Thanks, friend!
Good Morning Darius......what a lovely surprise to see your video pop up..........what a beautiful creature Dandie is.......Darius would the horses and deer be more afraid of him as he grows older ??? I know they will attack people if they get too close especially when they have little ones, but normally they stick to fish, berries,dandelions etc do they not ??? Thanks so much for another beautiful look into the life that surrounds you.......xoxo to all the gang but a special snuggle to Nanni.....Donna in Toronto
It's so nice that you share your space with all the creatures and I appreciate you sharing your videos. They're always beautiful and this was particularly fascinating. I would never be able to watch a grizzly this close, especially the shots at night. Smart bear, dandelions are loaded with nutrients. The horses look beautiful and so healthy, I love them. I was nervous when Dandie got over the fence. They are very brave horses. Thanks again for sharing!
AWE! 💕😍👌 So incredibly precious ... just like all of you @ the homestead are! THANK YOU for sharing ... much love and a touch of envy 🤩 from South Africa. 🌍🌞🦏
This is excellent!
Honeysada thank you for sharing your love of animals and beautiful home in the mountains! These wonderful videos are why I am a subscriber. I look forward to the next one!
Your videos always put a big smile on my face. Watching Dandie gulping dandelions was like watching a little kid in a candy shop. Sweet video, thank you.
I love that Dandie wanted to make friends - I hope he will try again year and the horses will say yes.
