Grizzly Man

Has anyone else seen this documentary? It was disturbing, touching, and just bizarre. I need to watch something light now.

 

It's about Timothy Treadway, a film maker, "naturalist," and dumb ass.

 

Rest in Peace, he was eaten by bears, after living with them for 13 summers.

His book is absolutely terrible. It shows just how messed up he is.

 

You want a good book about "living" with bears, check out "Grizzly Years" by Doug Peacock. That man is a true naturalist in every sense of the word. It was one of my favorite books of all time.

I saw the National Geographic documentary about him. They said he used to go up to them and kiss them sometimes, and that he would pet them and do all kinds of different things around them. It really is amazing that he lasted 13 summers.

Actually, what I found more amazing was his interactions with the foxes. They were pets to him. He'd sit and play with them and pet them. They acted like cats with some dog tendencies. It was fascinating.
