755 Scare D. Bear July 2017 NPS photo
Adult Male
Year First Identified: 2004 as a subadult
Last Year Observed: 2019
Known Offspring Of: Not Known
Genetics Study Samples Obtained: Unknown
Identification:[]
755 is a medium-sized adult male with a golden brown or tan colored coat, round ears, and a tapered muzzle. His dark eye rings can be a distinctive feature early in the summer. In the fall, his coat is a uniform brown with contrasting, light colored ears.
Distinctive Behaviors:[]
755 was classified as a subadult when first observed in 2004. He has fished at Brooks Falls every year since, but this bear has never shown much tolerance towards humans.
755 will fish the falls during daylight hours when the platform is full of people, but rarely leaves the far side of the river at those times. If he does approach the Falls Platform, he moves quickly behind it, never in front. Sometimes, however, he will fish the jacuzzi at night. He has been observed running away from the riffles area when people approach and is not known to use the lower Brooks River, even in the fall. His intolerance of people seems to increase in the fall.
In 2019, 755 was seen in July and fall. However, he was not observed in 2020.
People can easily displace bears like 755 from the river. He might consider humans to be competitors to be avoided. For bears that display this behavior, it is important to give them space so we don’t displace them from the resources they need to survive.

2018.07.05: Goldilocks describes her observations of the interaction between 480 Otis and 755 Scare D Bear video by Brenda D:
"This is a Brenda D video of an interaction between 755/Scare D Bear and 480/Otis. With 128/Grazer making a cameo appearance at the beginning.
There are a few interesting things captured. First of all Scare D made an appearance exiting the falls in front of the platform...not a normal habit of his.
Also, 480/Otis (who is the actual star of the video) appeared, to me, at first to be using the lower cam housing as a scratching post (at 3:35 min. mark). I realized that he was standing just a bit too far away to be scratching on the housing. Backed up the video a few seconds and took a better look. He was showing a "dominance display". He had been peeing as he approached Scare D, and was grinding his scent into the ground with his back leg. Love that the "Old Boy" still has it in him...."

Olatz Azcona Munárriz (aka Olatz) shared twelve 7/7/2019 photos of 755 Scare D Bear alone and also with 32 Chunk and 747, #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11 and #12. "755 Scare D Bear showed up at the falls during my first evening in Brooks Camp on July 7, 2019. He spent some time fishing in the far pool, but 32 Chunk arrived and displaced him. Then, he decided to move toward the conveyor belt, but 747 entered the river and ended up having words with him above the falls. Good Scare D Bear left the falls for a while and when he returned, he stood against the wall for a few minutes before trying the far pool again. I am really happy for having had the chance to spend some time with him that day. These pictures are now precious memories of him. A gentle soul that is greatly missed."

JG pointed out in chat that Truman Everts had posted a 7/7/2019 photo of 755 ScareD Bear in chat 8 months ago. Truman said "For those who sometimes struggle to tell 480 (aka "Otis") from 755 (aka "Scare D Bear"), Mr. 755 would like to remind you that he still has "a whole lotta teeth" in his lower jaw." It appears that 755 ScareD Bear does have both lower canines though the incisors appear to be worn down. Goof_n shared this 8/3/2019 photo of 755 ScareD Bear on 3/10/2021.

How 755 Scare D. Bear Got His Nickname:[]
755 Scare D. Bear got his name because as a smaller, younger bear, he was easily displaced and would avoid most other bears. 755 is an example of how the bears change as individuals. By 2015, 755 had become a medium-large adult and with his size was able to hold his position more often against other large bears. It seems he has matured into a sizeable bear that can compete more often for space at the falls. 755 also approaches the platform side of the river more often in recent years.
