Live Chat ~ Brown Bear Mating Season:[]
It might include long walks on a beach, but there are definitely no serenades. Courtship is a conspicuous part of the bear world in late spring and early summer, but it's also a time of competition and persistence. Join Katmai National Park ranger Kim Grossman and explore.org's resident naturalist Mike Fitz as they discuss bear courtship and the brown bear mating season.
Every summer, the story of Katmai National Park begins anew as majestic brown bears flock to Brooks Falls to hunt the sockeye salmon fighting their way upstream to spawn. Guiding us in this journey are Katmai's Park Rangers, the unsung heroes of our bear cams and other experts that honor the natural world. Join these learned teachers throughout the season for our series of live chats and lectures from the park.
July 13, 2022 also happened to be a somewhat difficult viewing evening for some cam viewers.
Toward the end of the live chat, at about the 47:13 mark, Mike Fitz said something that is really applicable to the feelings seen in the bearcam comments on July 13, 2022. While it's normal to have strong reactions to some things we see.... Mike said, ".... we should try very strongly to avoid judging the behavior of bears based on standards of human ethics and morals. I said that before and I will say it again. I think it’s really important to consider, bears are bears. They are not human. If we can avoid judging them based on what we think is right and wrong, I think we can truly expand our empathy to include all bears. That will help us to protect their habitats and the space they need to survive and their needs overall."

On This Day in Bearcam History:[]
On July 13, 2013, Ranger Mike Fitz and Ranger Roy Wood did a live chat. Explore.org created this video to take us on a trip down memory lane to that 2013 live chat in celebration of the 10th anniversary season of bearcams.
The bear cam archive gets a little unruly going as far back as 2013. This was the first live chat we have documented, though we believe it was the second live chat on bear cam. It was originally posted 7.13.2013. Live chats have been a staple of the bear cam experience. In one of the very first live chats on the bear cams, national park rangers Roy Wood and Mike answered audience questions about bears and salmon in July 2013. (While Mike’s outfit for live chats has changed, he still has the same eyeglasses.)
You can also explore many other prior live chats that are listed on the Ranger Live Chats wiki page. Never stop learning! Explore.org makes it easy and BEARy enjoyable!
