The bears did NOT see him as "one of their own". Treadwell, in his craziness, thought they "accepted" him. It's more like they didn't him as a threat - due to habituation...
Haha! It's a poignant reminder while we can appreciate the beauty of our planet, we must remember we're not invincible. If we take the wild for granted, there will be consequences.
He didn’t save a single bear and got one killed. The first time I watched the wonderful documentary, Grizzly Man, I thought to myself, One of those bears is going to eat him, and the National Park Service is going to kill the bear for eating him. And I was right.
@@sheilabloom6735 yes, the biggest tragedy of it all. But oddly enough, he never said he was there to protect his girlfriend. He said he was there to protect the bears.
Timothy's death was Timothy's fault; Amy's death was Timothy's fault; the bear's death was Timothy's fault. I was dismayed to hear "it was over in a few moments" -- Timothy's attack and death with no mention of Amy's attack or how horrible it must have been for her to be left alone with that bear when she didn't like the bears and was rightly afraid of them. You glossed over her death. RIP Amy.
To be fair... We don't know. We never heard the tapes, and never will... As far as i know, only the director of grisly man heard it. I don't know... Speculation of how they might've died it's, to me, a touchy subject.
"They need me. Without me, they'll be lost." Bro, get over yourself. The bears killed humans who got close thousands of years before you were ever born. He's got so much Main Character Syndrome that even the bears themselves are playing second fiddle to him.
Passion cannot protect a person from reality. Treadwell used the bears as his own personal psychotherapists trying to use their magnificence to fill in the blanks in his own damaged personality. He operated out of megalomania, rather than balance. In the end, he caused the death of the bear that ended his own life; and that was the real tragedy. A bear that was desperate to ease its own suffering as winter approached, did what it was born to do, and died due to Treadwell's ignorance.
All those bears that he taught to be a little less afraid of humans, as if they are ever afraid. He knew better. He didn't listen to the voice within. Psychosis. Good story to tell. Have a great weekend!
I absolutely love the narrator of this channel. They way he tells the stories and his voice. Its a perfect combination that keeps you nailed to the story... Thank you!!
You have a great point. I wont watch videos with those narrators who always talk like it’s a paranormal phenomenon. Wahahahaha I just can’t take fake azz seriously as entertainment.
I didn't "know" him, but I met Timothy more than once. Last time was July or August, the summer he died, at Island Air Service at the Kodiak airport. I was waiting to fly to the village of Ouzinkie. He was waiting to charter out to wherever he was going. We didn't get along. Previously, at the Village bar, I ended up telling him he was @#%^ nuts and he pretty much went off on me; insulted me up and down. He really had convinced himself that he was "protecting" the bears. I tried to point out that the bears had existed for aeons before the dust became him and they'd be there for aeons after we had gone back to the dust. My mistake: I was interested in what he was saying because I've spent quite a bit of time amongst bears too. I had asked him what he "carried for protection" and that set him off. He was fit to fight. I realized then that he was completely and utterly delusional. He was projecting. He was seeing the bears for what he wanted them to be, as extensions of himself and his own will; not for what they are. He was meeting them on his own, false terms. Not on the bear's actual terms. The fact that he made it as far and as long as he did, proves my grandfather right - "Bears are not monsters" I knew Timothy would end up getting killed eventually; told him so. I just didn't realize he'd end up taking that lady with him on his way out. Poor, poor woman. Katmai is beautiful. Geographic Harbor in particular, if anyone were to ask me. When God takes a vacation, I'm sure that's where he goes. As good a place as any to live, or die.
@@andanssas I didn't go out intending to be amongst bears. I just grew up with a semi-subsistence lifestyle. I truly love being outdoors; probably would have gotten along really well with John Muir, and it's just a coincidence that I was born in a village on Kodiak island. Bears are a big, hairy fact there, especially if you do your hunting, gathering and fishing alone, which I mostly did. Unless in big noisy groups, like a family picnic or something, I've always found having other people with me to represent either a detriment or a net zero gain. It's better to go alone, because you see and hear so much more that way and that gives you much more control over what can be controlled in any given situation. There's no one to make noise, panic, get hurt or accidentally discharge their weapon, but me. I probably would have gotten along really well with Jim Corbett too. :) As far as my relationship with individual bears, I got to "know" some of them over years of encountering each other, a few of them for nearly 20 years before they just, weren't there anymore. Those relationships, if we can call them that, respectfully passing each other, them recognizing who I was (not a threat, but potentially deadly) as I was dragging a deer or sitting in a hide while hunting ducks etc. etc. were predicated on a mutual understanding that we could kill each other. We were not enemies, neither was prey to the other, but we were certainly not "friends". Call it complex or developed behavior patterns, but bears have their own sort of primordial code that they live by, almost like they have their own philosophy. Makes it easy to try to humanize or personify them, but if you're going to live with them successfully, it's going to be on their terms; not on yours. People make that mistake of superimposing personal perspectives on things sometimes, because of the way the want or wish things to be. Really, I'm sure that's where Timothy went so far and so badly wrong.
@@Brian-qg9bm thank you for sharing and the valuable lesson. Perhaps instinct makes them respect what is unknown, likely increasing their survival rate. I was wondering why the "big guy" bear did not silently attack them... Instinct or the primordial code you mentioned may have made him to call/challenge them out first based on multiple encounters with hunters. Like ourselves, we teach each other to test the waters, check for potential dangers/traps uand have a backup plan before confronting unknown situations. A lesson that Timothy learned the hard way...
I wish he hadn’t been such a narcissist. He got one bear killed and gave Amy’s family a hell of a lot of trauma. No one needed him to do anything but sit tf down.
Timothy, these are my friends, they won't hurt me. Bear is like, I need to pack in more calories before hibernating, now, where can I find some? Oh yeah, I know...
Everybody wants to be friends with wild animals and some believe they can. Humans just need to accept the fact that wild animals need to be left alone, they do not want human interference and trying to befriend them is just for your own selfish needs.
Yes, something in us finds the animals appealing. We also yearn for relationship. People who have trouble relating to other human beings may turn elsewhere for friendship and companionship. But whatever friendship we may have had with wild animals was lost in the garden of Eden, and we won't be getting it back in this world. So whoever in my neighborhood or city is feeding coyotes out of mistaken pity, or misguided attempts to establish a "friendship" that cannot be, is priming those coyotes to feel comfortable approaching me, in natural areas, even in my neighborhood, and this will not lead to anything good. A wild coyote will promptly disappear at the approach of a human--not sit there out in the open a few yards away watching me pull weeds. Even squirrels are not "harmless." If people have been feeding them, they may attack when hungry, especially if you try to defend your lunch. Resist the impulse to feed them!! If someone wants friendship with animals, they can get a domestic pet. Domestic cats retain a lot of wild instincts, and they are not likely to kill a human. But their retainers need to meet them where they are, and not expect them to be humans. Domestic dogs are more accommodating to humans, but try as they might, even they cannot become humans. There's a difference between wishing for something, and believing that wishing will make it happen.
This guy had a seriously grandiose sense of self. I’ve always had the sense that he was insufferable to other humans, and he therefore sought approval and acceptance from another species who wouldn’t spot his personality disorder.
You are not wrong Treadwell and Stockton Rush are both delusional narcissistic a holes and was asking for death which the bear and the ocean were happy to do 😂😂😂😂😂
I blame Disney because of the anthropomorphism of animals in so many of their films, brainwashing children into thinking animals are just people in different suits.
Yup - for a great many reasons... Treadwell's story - and his insanity and death - plus the two other deaths make this an interesting, albeit horrifying, story.
He did not provide insight into the bears behavior in the wild. He intruded upon the, he was no observer. He showed only situations where a human was involved in the natural life. His contribution was his life, the life of Amy and two or more bears. So much for “protecting” the bears
The Alaskan Brown Bear is the Apex predator bar none! To treat them otherwise is insanity! He got exactly what he asked for and Amy should have gotten out before the last horrifying incident occurred! 💀 Nice video and well narrated! 😎 The only thing anyone should remember about the “The Grizzly Man” is the fact that he was the first person killed by a Brown Bear since the inception of Katmai National Park 85 years earlier!
He had a serious mental disturbance. He failed in getting into films as a famous actor, was addicted to drugs and then coped by deciding he was special and filmed himself ranting in the wilderness and bothering bears. Amy, unfortunately, was taken in by his charisma, feeling the need for magic in her own hard working life, & he provided that. Not the only woman or person drawn in by his charisma, hence he got his ego fulfilment of being famous, with the TV interviews etc. If he really cared about bears, or anything else other than himself, he would have worked with experts and learned properly. Instead, he made up a story for his own ego. By the end, he was clearly mentally way off of actual reality. Indulging like he did in his coping mechanism, it could only keep getting worse.
Herzogs documentary was very good. Grizzly Man. It was also disturbing I don't understand why Park authorities didn't ban him instead of warnings and fines.
Though the tape which recorded the audio of the attack was never made public (those which claim to be it are all fakes) the Katmai National Park have the full report which is public. In it, it states that Timothy and Amie weren't killed instantly by the bear; it was at least a six-minute long attack. Amie watched Timothy being dismembered by the bear, and then it killed her. It ate Timothy and cached her body.
I think your commentary was thoughtful and accurate re wild animals and their nature. You were also very kind to Timothy Treadwell in those comments because of course, nobody wanted him and his poor, poor girlfriend to die. I think he was very misguided and the whole adventure was about himself. He wanted to be “that person” who was special. When one person tells you it’s dangerous maybe you won’t listen, but when everyone is warning you there’s got to be truth in there.
Treadwell was an idiot who thought he could befriend grizzlies. A true outdoor enthusiast knows better. It's no wonder he was killed by them. He broke the sacred rule of outdoors-respect nature.
Ahhh...the fine line between passion and mental illness. Another fantastic episode by you, JR. (I think that's your name from other commenters Forgive me if I am in error.) This is the best video on this guy's story, and I have read and heard several! Can't live without your change;! I look forward to every episode! 💋
A great retelling of this story. Thank you. Your awesome voice adds gravitas and your approach is comprehensive and uncompromising, never romanticizing the facts nor glossing over negative information.
Thank you for the kind words. I know we all know this story. I wanted to present it from a more philosophical character analysis perspective rather than just factual, since we all know the story well. It's a fascinating but sad tale.
Tim had a delusion that he needed to protect bears "in a nat'l park"? Befriending them is the worst thing you can do. He found purpose, but it was misdirected.
I can understand Tim’s desire for nature as my need for it started as a young child also growing up in the city but those trips to the mountains got me hooked. I’ve explored most of the mountains in Americas West and even purchased a house on a densely wooded property in Washington state just to spend every day in it. With that said I’ve never had some grand illusion that the nearby 200+lbs cougars and bears wouldn’t see me as a food source when food became scarce. Unfortunately for Tim and especially Amy, Tim was right, “the bears needed him” and they got him.
To not bother to carry ANY protection, and have NO escape plan, with this woman being dependent on him. The plane had come, and left without them because it couldn't pick both of them plus their equipment. They had decided to wait 2 weeks. I've been stalked by a predatory bear for 4 days and 3 nights. It's no joke. It's terrifying on a deep, primal level.
Dr Andrew Van der Vaart is a psychiatrist with a RUclips channel. He has a video examining Treadwell's personality. So interesting I've watched it several times. The guy was a nut. I am truly puzzled why his girlfriend agreed to his nonsense. She was terrified of bears. She lived her worst nightmare.
I saw another RUclips video where it was stated Amy was finding her work very demanding and felt drained by it and really wanted to get a break away from it. She found him magical and charismatic and was sucked in by whar he wws doing. She fell for his charisma, fame and romanticising of wild nature. He always had women ready with help like storing his stuff and looking after him.
I mean if he asked for it, she kinda did too. He trusted wild bears and she trusted some random man and did no research on her own. You can't just blindly follow a man into danger and disjunction out of desperation for a male partner.
This has to be one of the best OD videos so far. The narration is always excellent, but in this video it takes us on a far more personal journey of the main character involved. His girlfriend's intuition was a sure sign to wake up and smell the coffee, but by then he was too far gone in his own "saviour mentality". This eventually cost the lives of Tim, Amie and bear "the big guy"! It's almost as if he didn't care about living or dying, so his lack of healthy fear had long been replaced by brazen foolishness. If he was so much concerned by the life and environment of the bears, he could have "reinvented himself" more constructively by studying wildlife ecology at the hands of seasoned professionals and sought help for his clear need for love and healing of his inner torment. It's a sad, but so predictable story. As young men growing up in so-called "civilised society", many are deprived of the basic human need for love, a right of passage, connection with nature and guidance on how to find oneself in a world so confusing and full of lies and half-truths. To be out in nature would naturally begin to give him a feeling of peace and serenity, but this MUST be accompanied with a pragmatic understanding of what the environment entails. It's not a playground for adventurers who are drawn to cross boundaries and explore without due respect for the real dangers that exist there.
Wild animals are NOT your friend. They can be passive and accepting of your presence with proper respect and knowledge of the aninal, but there is no wau that animal loves you. It will not hesitate to attack if you break its social rules whether its feeding a chipmunk a peanut or cohabitating with alpha predators.
Exactly. Wild animals are fascinating and awesome and if I can safely observe, I will. But the key word is "safely". I used to live in BC and if I was out biking or walking and saw any hint of a bear, I got the heck out of there ASAP.
Treadwell’s grandiosity was deadly. His gf, his family, her family, the bear, the park staff, policy makers, conservationists, filmmakers, his behavior inflicted so much rippling trauma.
Wildlife is that,"wild". And should be left wild. We can still appreciate the beauty but show the respect they need and require by letting them be wild!
Thank you so much for this. I’ve wanted to share this story with a friend who has idealized views of nature and animals to inoculate her against stupidity. But all the other documentaries start with Timothy being presented as the hero (so the audience can be “surprised” when scientists explain enriching he did was bad for bears) and I’ve been concerned that she’ll take that at face value. This is as neutral as Timothy deserved. Timothy offends me on a deep level. I wanted to be a naturalist as a boy and I learned all the ethics of documentaries and wildlife photography and that’s never left me. I love observing animals interacting. Be it Great Tailed Grackles (fascinating love lives those birbs have) or neighborhood feral cats. So much entertainment in sitting quietly and watching. I know I tend towards more anthropomorphization than is good for a scientist and I have been bitten by several cats for my troubles. I always feel like I’m too science for the uwu animal lovers and too much of a writer for scientists. I just respect scientists so much. Their data helps me guess at how different species of animals think.
I also find him offensive. I grew up in a rural area - i don't romanticise nature. He's also simply a man with mental health problems. So he shouldn't be getting media attention or women pandering to him.
Everyone always feels sorry for Amy and while i understand why, she caused her own death as much as Timothy did. She was an adult who decided to follow him and stay with him even though everyone could tell he was off his rocker. She was uncomfortable around the bears yet stayed anyway. Tragic but you can only play around so much til you actually find out.
I was a production assistant on a film in Victoria B.C. At lunch one day an actor in the film shared to those at his table that Grizzly Man was a friend of his. The actor was shaken up by his friends recent death.
Jane Goodall also got too intimate with her chimps …she didn’t reveal some very dark things such as her need to keep her children in barriers so the chimps wouldn’t kill,and eat them
It's just sad he came back. But he was so manic depressive I think he was just going to keep coming back until the bears killed him. Be cause they gave him so much leeway. Amy was addicted to tim just as he was addicted to the bears.😢
I love this channel! And I live around just about any animal that lives in Tennessee, but I understand my place. Even used to swim in Florida with a shark who joined me three times a week like we were besties or something, but that's never the case. Other animals are as curious as we are. That doesn't mean they want to be friends, it means they want to be educated about their meal.
I know a lot about him. One of my close friends owned Katmai Lodge. I had never heard the background story of WHY he was so driven to be out there, to be so public, and to immerse himself. Finally it all makes sense - his need for public approval / fame / recognition. The "I'm the only one" syndrome. He endangered the bears by removing their fear of humans, which can lead to bears attacking humans. He acted like a classic narcissist with delusions of grandeur. He had a point about human greed, but he wasn't the messiah. The big mistake was staying long after the bears he knew had hibernated and the more desperate ones, who hadn't fattened up enough to hibernate. He thought he was Tarzan. The hero martyr syndrome is in full view in the US right now, and people who don't understand the psychology of a person like that will be like the girlfriend, who he brought into danger. It was unconscionable to drag her into that. He didn't stay because of thinking the bears needed him. His airplane ride was delayed by 2 weeks, putting him into a situation with strange bears, long after they should have hibernated. The plane wasn't able to pick him, his gear, and his girlfriend up. He should have sent her on the plane. In the end, she should not have screamed and keened, because that brought in the predatory bear. That was a huge huge mistake. Women, don't go for the "bad boy".
By making himself a self styled hero, he made up for not making it in the film industry, and he got women and other attention via his "special" path. And got his focus off drug addiction. It was a gradual descent into an obsessive lunacy.
That guy reached the height of arrogance by saying that he was the Master of those Bears and that the Bears saw him as their Master, what is paradoxical are his screams when the Bear was devouring him having him as dinner eating his flesh, screams?, screams from the Master?, What kind of Master screams in terror when he sees himself being eaten by his subjects?, The Bear showed him who the Master was!
This guy is where he supposed to be, and the bear is dead because of a selfish arrogant human. He conned this young lady into thinking it was normal, and she is dead. He is not a hero, and people think he did this wonderful thing, listen to the tape while the bear is attacking. It should give a perspective of how wild and mean these animals are. But like this guy and others who think they can do whatever, it may end up the endo for them. Humans have no respect for nature or the wild animals and in the end, it is the animals that lose. Good video and blessings.
Got the whole “it was over in a sec…” part way off. That bear ate while he was still living. There’s a recording out there and I’d recommend not listening. Can’t be unheard.
Good morning JR, Excellent content as always! I think the line between reality and obsession was blurred for Timothy, which is really sad and unfortunate as the bear who killed him was just doing what it would do naturally The Big Guy was starving and Tim and Amie were the prey to him. I feel really bad for their families and my heart goes out to them for their loss. A bear isn't some cute cuddly teddy bear for you to hug it's a wild animal and should be respectful of them as you're invading their territory. Anyway I hope that Tim and Amie rest in peace 🙏🕊️ have a great week and a good day today!
I personally prefer the company of animals to humans, but I’m not stupid enough to think I can invade the territory of wild animals and they will accept me, no matter how welcoming and inoffensive I try to present myself to them.
Excellent story from RUclipss best channel! I had seen the movie about this guy many years ago but really enjoyed this version of events! Although misguided Timothy was a very fascinating man! His love for the bears cost him his life despite he himself seeing the warning signs with “ The Big Guy “! At the very least he should have gotten his innocent girlfriend away from the danger he knew was there! Very sad!
I don't find his behaviour fascinating. Its a mental illness - all that ranting & never listening to anyone else -and so getting more & more out of touch with reality. It's disturbing.
No the original audio has been destroyed after a handful of people listened to it, what's online is recreations of the original audio for the movie or a transcript
The version I read said that Amy initially beat the bear off of Timothy with a frying pan, but the bear came back and eventually killed both of them. The attack was recorded as it was happening. The bear later charged the pilot that came to pick Treadwell up, It doesn't seem that it was one of the usual bears he hung out with and likely would have gone after anyone it came across. Some bears are like that.
Treadwell was a clout chaser before there was such a thing. He acted like grizzly bears were people in costumes. Giving them stupid names and talking to them like babies. He finally ran into a bear that would rather eat him then listen to his irritating voice. He made his girlfriend bear food too. Treadwell was delusional to think bears were his friends. Mother nature can be a killer. Timmy found that out outside his tent that final afternoon.
He illegally went to their protected sanctuary and interfered with their natural daily habits. He was an intruder that should of been arrested and sent to jail for breaking the law. There was no pouching in that bear sanctuary. He was the only menace there.
Do the Korean bear story. Old couple in s korea raised bears for its poop to make medicine and money. But then killed and eaten as they slept because left gate open
@@lisaperry5999 many uses here are a few. What is bear bile used for in Vietnam? In traditional clinical practice, bear bile is used in fever fighting, detoxification, inflammation, swelling and pain The demand for bear bile is driven by the belief that it has medicinal qualities. Bear bile use is common in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as ordinary household products and cosmetics like shampoo and toothpaste. Bear bile can even be found in Chinese wine, and 'bile teas'
I mean, dude was disrespectful of bears. I grew up in the mountains, theres wolves, bears, mountain lions, wolverines etc. You can live near bears, but you need to understand they are powerful animals who live a bear life not a human life. They dgaf about humans. We're either food, a threat, or something to be ignored. And if youre a hungry bear trying to eat enough for winter and theres a couple squishy meat balls nearby, youre going to eat them. Bear shouldnt have been killed. It was just being a bear. Dude was dumb enough to live in the midst of bears during the time right before hibernation. Hes dumb. I saw a video of this dude. He had made actual friends with a fox. Im like, why didnt dude just hang out with the fox.
There's video of him repeatedly saying: "i love you" to a bear and tbe bear standing there looking like it was thinking: "wtf is this dude going on about? He's in my way"! Dude clearly didn't have a good read on bear behaviour.
Treadwell was self centered, grandiose, egocentric, narcissistic, irresponsible, nihilistic, & had delusions of grandeur!!!! He also had a "cognitive bias" and his "naive realism" clouding his thinking!!!!
The law should have stopped him! He was endangering himself and ultimately the beautiful Bear. He personally ended up having the innocent majestic Bear killed! Live and Let Live!!! Leave Wildlife and ALL Animals ALONE #VEGAN4THEM ❤
For whatever reason, you chose not to include the audio of Tim Dexter talking to the bears. His high-pitched, "I love you, I love you" would tell your viewers alot about this insufferable guy.

very true. and this demolish the saying animal is better than human. I crienched everytime I heard anyone say that.
The bears did NOT see him as "one of their own". Treadwell, in his craziness, thought they "accepted" him. It's more like they didn't him as a threat - due to habituation...

I didn't "know" him, but I met Timothy more than once. Last time was July or August, the summer he died, at Island Air Service at the Kodiak airport. I was waiting to fly to the village of Ouzinkie. He was waiting to charter out to wherever he was going. We didn't get along.

Bears are a big, hairy fact there, especially if you do your hunting, gathering and fishing alone, which I mostly did.
Unless in big noisy groups, like a family picnic or something, I've always found having other people with me to represent either a detriment or a net zero gain.
It's better to go alone, because you see and hear so much more that way and that gives you much more control over what can be controlled in any given situation. There's no one to make noise, panic, get hurt or accidentally discharge their weapon, but me.
I probably would have gotten along really well with Jim Corbett too. :)
As far as my relationship with individual bears, I got to "know" some of them over years of encountering each other, a few of them for nearly 20 years before they just, weren't there anymore.
Those relationships, if we can call them that, respectfully passing each other, them recognizing who I was (not a threat, but potentially deadly) as I was dragging a deer or sitting in a hide while hunting ducks etc. etc. were predicated on a mutual understanding that we could kill each other. We were not enemies, neither was prey to the other, but we were certainly not "friends".
Call it complex or developed behavior patterns, but bears have their own sort of primordial code that they live by, almost like they have their own philosophy. Makes it easy to try to humanize or personify them, but if you're going to live with them successfully, it's going to be on their terms; not on yours.
People make that mistake of superimposing personal perspectives on things sometimes, because of the way the want or wish things to be.
Really, I'm sure that's where Timothy went so far and so badly wrong.
@@Brian-qg9bm thank you for sharing and the valuable lesson. Perhaps instinct makes them respect what is unknown, likely increasing their survival rate. I was wondering why the "big guy" bear did not silently attack them... Instinct or the primordial code you mentioned may have made him to call/challenge them out first based on multiple encounters with hunters. Like ourselves, we teach each other to test the waters, check for potential dangers/traps uand have a backup plan before confronting unknown situations. A lesson that Timothy learned the hard way...
@@Brian-qg9bm Well said. I like that mutual understanding part. That's the sensible way to look at it.
I wish he hadn’t been such a narcissist. He got one bear killed and gave Amy’s family a hell of a lot of trauma. No one needed him to do anything but sit tf down.
😂😂
I have to agreed with you 😂😂😂😂😂
"Pretending you're one with nature..." Oh how I love you, lol.
Timothy, these are my friends, they won't hurt me.
Bear is like, I need to pack in more calories before hibernating, now, where can I find some? Oh yeah, I know...
Everybody wants to be friends with wild animals and some believe they can. Humans just need to accept the fact that wild animals need to be left alone, they do not want human interference and trying to befriend them is just for your own selfish needs.
Humans need to leave a lot alone.
Yes, something in us finds the animals appealing. We also yearn for relationship. People who have trouble relating to other human beings may turn elsewhere for friendship and companionship. But whatever friendship we may have had with wild animals was lost in the garden of Eden, and we won't be getting it back in this world.
So whoever in my neighborhood or city is feeding coyotes out of mistaken pity, or misguided attempts to establish a "friendship" that cannot be, is priming those coyotes to feel comfortable approaching me, in natural areas, even in my neighborhood, and this will not lead to anything good. A wild coyote will promptly disappear at the approach of a human--not sit there out in the open a few yards away watching me pull weeds.
Even squirrels are not "harmless." If people have been feeding them, they may attack when hungry, especially if you try to defend your lunch. Resist the impulse to feed them!!
If someone wants friendship with animals, they can get a domestic pet. Domestic cats retain a lot of wild instincts, and they are not likely to kill a human. But their retainers need to meet them where they are, and not expect them to be humans. Domestic dogs are more accommodating to humans, but try as they might, even they cannot become humans. There's a difference between wishing for something, and believing that wishing will make it happen.
This guy had a seriously grandiose sense of self. I’ve always had the sense that he was insufferable to other humans, and he therefore sought approval and acceptance from another species who wouldn’t spot his personality disorder.
Now he is one with a bear.
Treadwell was no different than Oceangate’s “Mission Specialists”.
You are not wrong Treadwell and Stockton Rush are both delusional narcissistic a holes and was asking for death which the bear and the ocean were happy to do 😂😂😂😂😂
"Pretending you're one with nature, while nature sharpens its teeth."
Brilliant.
Really sad, unsurprising, but sad. I am stunned by his hubris.
💯
I blame Disney because of the anthropomorphism of animals in so many of their films, brainwashing children into thinking animals are just people in different suits.
Poor guy needed therapy, not a stint in the wild.
@@ts7371 me, pretending I don’t see myself in that comment : o

He was in therapy.
@@dawnhoughton4533 Inside a bear?
I have heard this story many times but I believe this is one of the best tellings so far! One of your best videos!
Thank you so much! Made it a point to tell this differently since many of us know this story well. More of a philosophical character study.
Exactly - so well told. Thank you!!
For whatever reason, this story has always disturbed me. Great video. ❤
Yup - for a great many reasons... Treadwell's story - and his insanity and death - plus the two other deaths make this an interesting, albeit horrifying, story.
Timothy didn't love bears he loved the way they made him feel.
He did not provide insight into the bears behavior in the wild.
He intruded upon the, he was no observer. He showed only situations where a human was involved in the natural life.
His contribution was his life, the life of Amy and two or more bears. So much for “protecting” the bears
Timothy traded the high of drugs for the high of adrenaline. Highs kill
The Alaskan Brown Bear is the Apex predator bar none! To treat them otherwise is insanity! He got exactly what he asked for and Amy should have gotten out before the last horrifying incident occurred! 💀 Nice video and well narrated! 😎 The only thing anyone should remember about the “The Grizzly Man” is the fact that he was the first person killed by a Brown Bear since the inception of Katmai National Park 85 years earlier!
Wow!!
He had a serious mental disturbance. He failed in getting into films as a famous actor, was addicted to drugs and then coped by deciding he was special and filmed himself ranting in the wilderness and bothering bears.
Amy, unfortunately, was taken in by his charisma, feeling the need for magic in her own hard working life, & he provided that.
Not the only woman or person drawn in by his charisma, hence he got his ego fulfilment of being famous, with the TV interviews etc.
If he really cared about bears, or anything else other than himself, he would have worked with experts and learned properly.
Instead, he made up a story for his own ego.
By the end, he was clearly mentally way off of actual reality.
Indulging like he did in his coping mechanism, it could only keep getting worse.
Herzogs documentary was very good. Grizzly Man. It was also disturbing
I don't understand why Park authorities didn't ban him instead of warnings and fines.
I agree!
I wondered that too
Though the tape which recorded the audio of the attack was never made public (those which claim to be it are all fakes) the Katmai National Park have the full report which is public. In it, it states that Timothy and Amie weren't killed instantly by the bear; it was at least a six-minute long attack. Amie watched Timothy being dismembered by the bear, and then it killed her. It ate Timothy and cached her body.
The audio someone made and posted on line should never be heard by anyone. It can't be unheard,it's absolutely horrifying.. even if it's fake
Yea. The report said they found both of their heads with almost no torso attached
He always thought he was part of them & now he is!!!!
Be careful what you wish for because you might get it 💀💀💀😂😂😂😂😂
I think your commentary was thoughtful and accurate re wild animals and their nature. You were also very kind to Timothy Treadwell in those comments because of course, nobody wanted him and his poor, poor girlfriend to die. I think he was very misguided and the whole adventure was about himself. He wanted to be “that person” who was special. When one person tells you it’s dangerous maybe you won’t listen, but when everyone is warning you there’s got to be truth in there.
Crazy people never listen...
This was probably your best narration I’ve heard, I forgot I was in traffic seeing what happened to this guy. Great job.
Treadwell was an idiot who thought he could befriend grizzlies. A true outdoor enthusiast knows better. It's no wonder he was killed by them. He broke the sacred rule of outdoors-respect nature.
Ahhh...the fine line between passion and mental illness. Another fantastic episode by you, JR. (I think that's your name from other commenters Forgive me if I am in error.) This is the best video on this guy's story, and I have read and heard several! Can't live without your change;! I look forward to every episode! 💋
A great retelling of this story. Thank you. Your awesome voice adds gravitas and your approach is comprehensive and uncompromising, never romanticizing the facts nor glossing over negative information.
Thank you for the kind words. I know we all know this story. I wanted to present it from a more philosophical character analysis perspective rather than just factual, since we all know the story well. It's a fascinating but sad tale.
Tim had a delusion that he needed to protect bears "in a nat'l park"? Befriending them is the worst thing you can do. He found purpose, but it was misdirected.
Absolutely
I can understand Tim’s desire for nature as my need for it started as a young child also growing up in the city but those trips to the mountains got me hooked. I’ve explored most of the mountains in Americas West and even purchased a house on a densely wooded property in Washington state just to spend every day in it. With that said I’ve never had some grand illusion that the nearby 200+lbs cougars and bears wouldn’t see me as a food source when food became scarce. Unfortunately for Tim and especially Amy, Tim was right, “the bears needed him” and they got him.
Wow, your last line was profoundly stated 👏. It kinda gave me chills...the irony, so true. 😮
To not bother to carry ANY protection, and have NO escape plan, with this woman being dependent on him.
The plane had come, and left without them because it couldn't pick both of them plus their equipment.
They had decided to wait 2 weeks.
I've been stalked by a predatory bear for 4 days and 3 nights.
It's no joke. It's terrifying on a deep, primal level.
Dr Andrew Van der Vaart is a psychiatrist with a RUclips channel. He has a video examining Treadwell's personality. So interesting I've watched it several times. The guy was a nut. I am truly puzzled why his girlfriend agreed to his nonsense. She was terrified of bears. She lived her worst nightmare.
Will check out TY
I saw another RUclips video where it was stated Amy was finding her work very demanding and felt drained by it and really wanted to get a break away from it. She found him magical and charismatic and was sucked in by whar he wws doing.
She fell for his charisma, fame and romanticising of wild nature.
He always had women ready with help like storing his stuff and looking after him.
Well, he asked for it and he got it. Too bad about the girl. He was an idiot.
I mean if he asked for it, she kinda did too. He trusted wild bears and she trusted some random man and did no research on her own. You can't just blindly follow a man into danger and disjunction out of desperation for a male partner.
This has to be one of the best OD videos so far. The narration is always excellent, but in this video it takes us on a far more personal journey of the main character involved.
His girlfriend's intuition was a sure sign to wake up and smell the coffee, but by then he was too far gone in his own "saviour mentality". This eventually cost the lives of Tim, Amie and bear "the big guy"! It's almost as if he didn't care about living or dying, so his lack of healthy fear had long been replaced by brazen foolishness.
If he was so much concerned by the life and environment of the bears, he could have "reinvented himself" more constructively by studying wildlife ecology at the hands of seasoned professionals and sought help for his clear need for love and healing of his inner torment.
It's a sad, but so predictable story. As young men growing up in so-called "civilised society", many are deprived of the basic human need for love, a right of passage, connection with nature and guidance on how to find oneself in a world so confusing and full of lies and half-truths. To be out in nature would naturally begin to give him a feeling of peace and serenity, but this MUST be accompanied with a pragmatic understanding of what the environment entails. It's not a playground for adventurers who are drawn to cross boundaries and explore without due respect for the real dangers that exist there.
Well said.
What does "the bears will be lost without me" even mean?? The bears didn't need him just because he needed them!
A tragic story, well told. Another great episode 🙌🏻
A tragic story for the bears.
@@KathleenMcNe EXACTLY! The word "tragic" is so over-used when it comes to human foolishness.
I love your channel. Thanks for the content
Timothy was killed by a bear who hated his dopey fringe, and felt it was unnatural. Ironic...
Wild animals are NOT your friend. They can be passive and accepting of your presence with proper respect and knowledge of the aninal, but there is no wau that animal loves you. It will not hesitate to attack if you break its social rules whether its feeding a chipmunk a peanut or cohabitating with alpha predators.
Exactly. Wild animals are fascinating and awesome and if I can safely observe, I will. But the key word is "safely". I used to live in BC and if I was out biking or walking and saw any hint of a bear, I got the heck out of there ASAP.
Ever written for a soap opera? You'd be good. Such flare for the melodramatic.
Haha thanks...I guess.
Treadwell’s grandiosity was deadly. His gf, his family, her family, the bear, the park staff, policy makers, conservationists, filmmakers, his behavior inflicted so much rippling trauma.
Keep the videos coming! I love them!!it’s truly one of my favorite channels. Thank you so much
Wildlife is that,"wild". And should be left wild. We can still appreciate the beauty but show the respect they need and require by letting them be wild!
Best voice on the internet, Best wilderness disaster channel!!
YOU FREAKING ROCK!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🙏🙏🙏
Unfortunately, ego and stupidity often walk hand in hand.
Thank you so much for this. I’ve wanted to share this story with a friend who has idealized views of nature and animals to inoculate her against stupidity. But all the other documentaries start with Timothy being presented as the hero (so the audience can be “surprised” when scientists explain enriching he did was bad for bears) and I’ve been concerned that she’ll take that at face value. This is as neutral as Timothy deserved.
Timothy offends me on a deep level. I wanted to be a naturalist as a boy and I learned all the ethics of documentaries and wildlife photography and that’s never left me.
I love observing animals interacting. Be it Great Tailed Grackles (fascinating love lives those birbs have) or neighborhood feral cats. So much entertainment in sitting quietly and watching. I know I tend towards more anthropomorphization than is good for a scientist and I have been bitten by several cats for my troubles. I always feel like I’m too science for the uwu animal lovers and too much of a writer for scientists.
I just respect scientists so much. Their data helps me guess at how different species of animals think.
I also find him offensive. I grew up in a rural area - i don't romanticise nature.
He's also simply a man with mental health problems. So he shouldn't be getting media attention or women pandering to him.
Everyone always feels sorry for Amy and while i understand why, she caused her own death as much as Timothy did. She was an adult who decided to follow him and stay with him even though everyone could tell he was off his rocker. She was uncomfortable around the bears yet stayed anyway. Tragic but you can only play around so much til you actually find out.
I was a production assistant on a film in Victoria B.C. At lunch one day an actor in the film shared to those at his table that Grizzly Man was a friend of his. The actor was shaken up by his friends recent death.
Bears do not come with warning labels attatched.
What else would one expect these days, when stupidity is rampant.
Thank you for doing this story JR. I honestly did not hear of this story ever before, contrary to many other folks.
Reinvent = turned into Bear Droppings.
Lunacy...
Jane Goodall also got too intimate with her chimps …she didn’t reveal some very dark things such as her need to keep her children in barriers so the chimps wouldn’t kill,and eat them
tim: hey bear whatcha eatin?
bear: timmeh....
😂😂
He really thought himself more than what he actually was. Too bad he dragged someone else into his delusions of specialness. 😑
This is the only series that I really like the narration.
I really feel sorry for the girl.

@@rand0mGT There's no reason to be mean about it.
@@LifeinThe70sand80she's a troll. Being jackasses is all they know
@@rand0mGT It takes a real miserable person to leave a comment like this! Or a child.
It's very unfortunate, however, she wanted to be with him and his exciting life.
It's just sad he came back. But he was so manic depressive I think he was just going to keep coming back until the bears killed him. Be cause they gave him so much leeway. Amy was addicted to tim just as he was addicted to the bears.😢
I love this channel! And I live around just about any animal that lives in Tennessee, but I understand my place. Even used to swim in Florida with a shark who joined me three times a week like we were besties or something, but that's never the case. Other animals are as curious as we are. That doesn't mean they want to be friends, it means they want to be educated about their meal.
Ranks up there with Chris McCandless in recklessness
Worse than him
Outstanding episode. Keep them coming!
I know a lot about him. One of my close friends owned Katmai Lodge.
I had never heard the background story of WHY he was so driven to be out there, to be so public, and to immerse himself.
Finally it all makes sense - his need for public approval / fame / recognition.
The "I'm the only one" syndrome.
He endangered the bears by removing their fear of humans, which can lead to bears attacking humans.
He acted like a classic narcissist with delusions of grandeur.
He had a point about human greed, but he wasn't the messiah.
The big mistake was staying long after the bears he knew had hibernated and the more desperate ones, who hadn't fattened up enough to hibernate.
He thought he was Tarzan.
The hero martyr syndrome is in full view in the US right now, and people who don't understand the psychology of a person like that will be like the girlfriend, who he brought into danger.
It was unconscionable to drag her into that.
He didn't stay because of thinking the bears needed him.
His airplane ride was delayed by 2 weeks, putting him into a situation with strange bears, long after they should have hibernated.
The plane wasn't able to pick him, his gear, and his girlfriend up.
He should have sent her on the plane.
In the end, she should not have screamed and keened, because that brought in the predatory bear.
That was a huge huge mistake.
Women, don't go for the "bad boy".
By making himself a self styled hero, he made up for not making it in the film industry, and he got women and other attention via his "special" path.
And got his focus off drug addiction.
It was a gradual descent into an obsessive lunacy.
What a fool! They're called wildlife for a reason!!
That guy reached the height of arrogance by saying that he was the Master of those Bears and that the Bears saw him as their Master, what is paradoxical are his screams when the Bear was devouring him having him as dinner eating his flesh, screams?, screams from the Master?, What kind of Master screams in terror when he sees himself being eaten by his subjects?, The Bear showed him who the Master was!
This guy is where he supposed to be, and the bear is dead because of a selfish arrogant human. He conned this young lady into thinking it was normal, and she is dead. He is not a hero, and people think he did this wonderful thing, listen to the tape while the bear is attacking. It should give a perspective of how wild and mean these animals are. But like this guy and others who think they can do whatever, it may end up the endo for them. Humans have no respect for nature or the wild animals and in the end, it is the animals that lose. Good video and blessings.
The audio was never released.
Excellent narration and insight into Timothy's mind. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Got the whole “it was over in a sec…” part way off. That bear ate while he was still living. There’s a recording out there and I’d recommend not listening. Can’t be unheard.
The recording circulating is a re enactment.
R.I.P. The bears.
Good morning JR,
Excellent content as always! I think the line between reality and obsession was blurred for Timothy, which is really sad and unfortunate as the bear who killed him was just doing what it would do naturally The Big Guy was starving and Tim and Amie were the prey to him. I feel really bad for their families and my heart goes out to them for their loss. A bear isn't some cute cuddly teddy bear for you to hug it's a wild animal and should be respectful of them as you're invading their territory. Anyway I hope that Tim and Amie rest in peace 🙏🕊️ have a great week and a good day today!
I couldn't had said it better. Thank you!
@@outdoordisasters you're welcome!
It was not over in seconds, I have heard the recording.
I personally prefer the company of animals to humans, but I’m not stupid enough to think I can invade the territory of wild animals and they will accept me, no matter how welcoming and inoffensive I try to present myself to them.
Remember: reality always has the last word.
Well said.
They WEREN'T THE SAME BEARS.
THESE WERE BEARS HE DIDN'T KNOW, IN AN AREA HE WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH.
HE WAS WAITING FOR A PLANE THAT WAS 2 WEEKS LATE.
Excellent story from RUclipss best channel! I had seen the movie about this guy many years ago but really enjoyed this version of events! Although misguided Timothy was a very fascinating man! His love for the bears cost him his life despite he himself seeing the warning signs with “ The Big Guy “! At the very least he should have gotten his innocent girlfriend away from the danger he knew was there! Very sad!
I always appreciate your kind words KK!
I don't find his behaviour fascinating. Its a mental illness - all that ranting & never listening to anyone else -and so getting more & more out of touch with reality. It's disturbing.
As a hunter I can tell you bear meat is a lot of work and sucks mostly. Rather bag an elk
Outstanding exposition, sir!!
Thank you kindly!
Wow, I've heard this before, but not like this. Well done. And thank you.
Good morning Annabelle! Have a great day!
I REMEMBER WHEN THAT HAPPENED..DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY..COULDN'T BELIEVE HE DIDN'T TAKE THE WARNING..AND HIS GIRL FRIEND..AND HER FAMILY..
Not a new story. The actual audio from the original tent video was available on the internet but has basically disappeared.
No the original audio has been destroyed after a handful of people listened to it, what's online is recreations of the original audio for the movie or a transcript
Maybe the lure of fame was why he made this spectacle out of being with the bears.
I wonder if there was a hint of narcissism here.
The version I read said that Amy initially beat the bear off of Timothy with a frying pan, but the bear came back and eventually killed both of them. The attack was recorded as it was happening. The bear later charged the pilot that came to pick Treadwell up, It doesn't seem that it was one of the usual bears he hung out with and likely would have gone after anyone it came across. Some bears are like that.
He was an accident waiting to happen..never the less sad.
He got too confident .
Very disappointing that you completely left out what happened to Amy Huguenard.
He loved the bears because they would bring him the fame his greed needed.
Yes, pure ego and a life coping mechanism instead of drug addiction.
Treadwell was a clout chaser before there was such a thing. He acted like grizzly bears were people in costumes. Giving them stupid names and talking to them like babies. He finally ran into a bear that would rather eat him then listen to his irritating voice. He made his girlfriend bear food too. Treadwell was delusional to think bears were his friends. Mother nature can be a killer. Timmy found that out outside his tent that final afternoon.
I completely agree.
He illegally went to their protected sanctuary and interfered with their natural daily habits. He was an intruder that should of been arrested and sent to jail for breaking the law. There was no pouching in that bear sanctuary. He was the only menace there.
Do the Korean bear story. Old couple in s korea raised bears for its poop to make medicine and money. But then killed and eaten as they slept because left gate open
I need to look that one up. People need to stop thinking wild animals arent wild just because they are timid sometimes.
What year? And medicine out of bear poop?
@@lisaperry5999 2023, a Korea. Bears harvested for their bile poop. Dangjin s korea.
@@lisaperry5999 many uses here are a few.
What is bear bile used for in Vietnam?
In traditional clinical practice, bear bile is used in fever fighting, detoxification, inflammation, swelling and pain
The demand for bear bile is driven by the belief that it has medicinal qualities. Bear bile use is common in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as ordinary household products and cosmetics like shampoo and toothpaste. Bear bile can even be found in Chinese wine, and 'bile teas'
@sagepirotess6312 thank you
I mean, dude was disrespectful of bears. I grew up in the mountains, theres wolves, bears, mountain lions, wolverines etc. You can live near bears, but you need to understand they are powerful animals who live a bear life not a human life. They dgaf about humans. We're either food, a threat, or something to be ignored. And if youre a hungry bear trying to eat enough for winter and theres a couple squishy meat balls nearby, youre going to eat them. Bear shouldnt have been killed. It was just being a bear. Dude was dumb enough to live in the midst of bears during the time right before hibernation. Hes dumb.
I saw a video of this dude. He had made actual friends with a fox. Im like, why didnt dude just hang out with the fox.
I wonder what did the fox say.
There's video of him repeatedly saying: "i love you" to a bear and tbe bear standing there looking like it was thinking: "wtf is this dude going on about? He's in my way"!
Dude clearly didn't have a good read on bear behaviour.
This dude is probably related to Steve Erwin somehow. Flirting with death is a real stupid mind game!
Treadwell was self centered, grandiose, egocentric, narcissistic, irresponsible, nihilistic, & had delusions of grandeur!!!! He also had a "cognitive bias" and his "naive realism" clouding his thinking!!!!
The law should have stopped him! He was endangering himself and ultimately the beautiful Bear. He personally ended up having the innocent majestic Bear killed! Live and Let Live!!! Leave Wildlife and ALL Animals ALONE #VEGAN4THEM ❤
I agree just warnings and fines no bans. Rangers knew what he was doing and many were suprised he lasted 12 Summers 13 wasn't his lucky number
For whatever reason, you chose not to include the audio of Tim Dexter talking to the bears. His high-pitched, "I love you, I love you" would tell your viewers alot about this insufferable guy.
That's when you watch and it's so obvious he's crossed the line into nutter territory.
