Timothy Treadwell... Now THERE'S an "expert" on brown bears...

He told us how peaceful and loving brown bears are - and used to climb in their hibernation dens and sing to them.


Then, he met a bear that was hungry.......


Whatta schmuck.

I think that may be the trouble - the name.  We call them 'grizzly bears' and not 'thousand pound bear-shaped killing machines'.

If you meet one, and you don't come to that conclusion, you will be invited to dinner.

Don't think I've ever met a bear, but your advice sounds applicable.

We have a big cat rescue right outside the town where I live. Right now there are 75 residents. It’s a pretty cool place.

The warning they give is if a cat backs up to the fence move to the side so you don’t get peed on.

I suppose worse things could happen.

Little fear of animals in me. Being raised by a large animal vet may have made it so I learned early not to be scared but to show respect and be alert.

Volunteered at Big Cats of Indiana when I was going to Purdue. They allowed me to touch a tiger my last day there.

Um no, there is no such thing as a "pet griz". There are only humans who should STAY THE FUCK AWAY!
