However, the 2021 French documentary The Velvet Queen (La Panthère des Neiges) did manage to capture extensive footage of the reclusive animal.

It is possible that the occasional specimen might be observed traveling through high mountain peaks during times of reduced food supply, or in search of a mate.

However, the limited information available about the habits and range of the blue bear makes such speculation difficult to confirm.

The exact conservation status of the blue bear is unknown, due to limited information.

However, in the United States, trading blue bear specimens or products is restricted by the Endangered Species Act.
