There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
However, neither are they puppies. Inland grizzlies are more aggressive than the coastal brown bears. Doug told of one particular grizzly which had set-up for an ambush just up the trail from him. Good thing for Doug he had plenty of outdoors experience. He also tells of a grizzly's "personal space" ( I can't remember the footage ) but if you were to blunder into his space, he is then dangerous. I also found it interesting that a grizzly will often make a bluff-charge ( like a gorilla ).
Casey Anderson stated that had Timothy Treadwell tried living among inland grizzlies in the same manner as he did the coastal brownies, his career with bears would have ended sooner.
