Скачать или смотреть CCTV Camera Captures a Grizzly Near the Hiking Trail at Night

Real CCTV-style wildlife footage shows a grizzly appearing near a hiking trail at night. WildoraUSA shares authentic animal moments caught on security cameras across America.

That sounds like an intense clip! Seeing a grizzly bear emerge from the shadows of a hiking trail at night is a stark reminder of how active the wilderness becomes after dark.
While WildoraUSA is known for sharing "CCTV-style" or "security camera" clips of wildlife, it is important to note how these videos are often produced:
That particular aesthetic—the high-contrast, black-and-white "night vision" look—is exactly what makes WildoraUSA and similar channels so popular. Seeing a grizzly bear emerge onto a hiking trail in the middle of the night feels incredibly visceral because it highlights the "secret life" of the forest that humans rarely see.
Here is a breakdown of what’s actually happening in that footage and why grizzlies are so active in those specific spots:
The Science Behind the "CCTV" Look
While these videos are often framed as "security camera" footage, they are almost always captured by cellular trail cameras.
No-Glow Infrared: These cameras use 940nm infrared LEDs. This light is invisible to both humans and bears, which is why the grizzly looks so natural and undisturbed—it has no idea it's being filmed.
The "Hiking Trail" Connection: Trails are "paths of least resistance." Just like humans, bears prefer walking on a cleared path rather than pushing through thick brush. At night, hiking trails essentially become "wildlife highways."
Why Grizzlies Are Out at Night
In areas with high human traffic, grizzlies often become nocturnal or crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk) to avoid us. Recent studies show that bears near popular hiking trails may shift up to 70% of their activity to the nighttime to forage in peace.
Safe Viewing vs. Safe Hiking
Watching these videos is a great way to learn about bear behavior, but it also serves as a warning for hikers:
The "Surprise" Factor: At night, a bear’s primary defense is its sense of smell. If the wind is blowing away from them, they might not hear or smell you until you are a few feet away, which can trigger a defensive charge.
Hyperphagia: If the footage was filmed in late fall, the grizzly is likely in "hyperphagia," a state where they eat nearly 20,000 calories a day to prepare for hibernation, making them even more protective of food sources near trails.

To be honest, seeing a grizzly on a camera at night is a mix of adrenaline and deep respect. If it were my camera, my reaction would depend entirely on where the camera was. There is a huge psychological difference between seeing a bear on a remote trail and seeing one in your backyard.
