Timothy Treadwell, better known as the "Grizzly Man" was just a normal guy like you and I, except for the fact that he spent most of this time with the grizzly bears. Every summer for 13 years, Treadwell would go up to Alaska and just camp out near grizzly bear sites. He made many documentaries of this journeys and of himself with the bears. There is now a movie out called "Grizzly Man." It is a documentary on him and it included alot of his own footage.
One summer when Treadwell was up visiting, or as he called it 'saving' the bears, something terrible happened (nobody was supposed to know that he was with his girlfriend). The 2 were planning on leacing one afternoon, but Treadwell insisited that he need to stay a few more weeks, for his job had not been complete yet. Amy, his girlfriend, begged to leave, but finally gave up.
One afternoon, the day they were planning on leaving for the second time, Treadwell and his girlfriend were both killed by a grizzly bear. The entire killing was even recorded on his video camera. They say that the bear came behind him, grabbed his head, and well, you know the rest. This is what happens when you come to close to vicious animals such as bears. This is an example like the crocodile hunter...he was killed also. You cannot just "play" with these animals, they are extremley dangerous.
