“Stock Footage #3: Black Bear Babies in Den" - Part 3 of the Black Bear Collection

Get all 3 bear stock DVD screeners for $19.95 + $4.99 pack/ship

American Black Bears only. An amazing and extremely rare collection of clips of extreme closeups of newborn black bears, 4 days old up to 2 months old, in the winter den with the mother bear. Shot in a captive situation, but nonetheless awesome, these bears are acting naturally and as wild bears would act. Since photographing wild bears in the winter den would be very dangerous and impossible, we did it this way, with permission, with only a tiny peephole. Photography was done for only a few minutes at a time, with a small illumination so that the pictures could be seen clearly. Shots include tiny babies sleeping, nursing, being held, being washed, being turned, sucking a paw, climbing over siblings, and more. This demo contains 29 unbelievable clips. Due to the rarity of this type of bear footage, these clips are sold at a slightly higher price. (These three copyrighted demos are sold as a set.)
