  • The Kodiak Bear is a unique species of Grizzly, known to be the largest species of bear in the world, living along the Kodiak Archipelago of Southern Alaska. In this documentary, cinematographer Andreas journeys into the depths of the great Alaskan wilderness to find some of the largest grizzly bears in the US. In his expedition, he travels through some of Alaska's most remote areas with his friend Greg and learns more about how the native Alaskan population lives in some of the most inhospitable spots of the frigid US State.

      Andrea is too impatient and excited. He wants to be a main character as much as the giant grizzly bear he is looking for. They could have gotten bigger bears in kodiak Island if he could hold & contain himself and not try his bear fishing skills. He is not fully up there for sure.

      There was a man who lived with the bears in Alaska. Talked a woman into living with them. Sure enough an old bear ate them yet previous yrs squeeters ate him. He video taped all these bears. I want to say Tim Treadwell, but memory fails his name but not the fact of the bears he warned us about is the 1 who did them in!

And the bears don’t have fear of humans. I’m scared of grizzlies but I think black bears are so cute, especially the mother with cubs and the way they climb trees!

    I truly don't know how anyone could even think about shooting one of those beautiful animals with anything other than a camera. Plus, the fact that these animals are so peaceful if you do have one as a trophy, it only shows that you're a true coward needing to go after an animal that doesn't see you as a threat, so they'll not run making it easy for you to kill them. The thing to do, is to leave them alone to live in peace and just love the fact that they exist on this planet with us, and that we get to see videos like this one showing them at peace in nature.

    30 years ago a friend told me of his stay on Kodiak Island. Fishing and hiking filled his "off hours" as a visiting engineer on several Navy projects there.
    On one of his many hikes through the old growth forest, he came upon a large evergreen tree and was surprised to see a bear's claw marks on the ancient
    tree's bark. It was not the size or depth of the bark removed by the bear's large claws, rather the elevation of the highest gouges. That's when the engineer
    in him caused him to measure the height of the marks, which was almost 20'. When he first told me the story I was skeptical; however, years later I have grown
    to disbelieve this story less and less.

    Lewis and Clark heard the rumors of giant bears; the size of an ox, ferocious, able to withstand multiple shots from a gun. They thought it was Impossible that they were this bad and that these were just tall tales. Then when they saw them, they found that they were even WORSE than the rumors.

    Andreas and Greg are next level. Such bravery, such respect for the animals. Random question though, at around 27:30 the narrator states that early tribes learned from bears to eat the root of the Dwarf Willow for it's medicinal purposes. Is that true? I wonder what source they got that from

      Did you Hear him Say Grizzly bears CAN'T CLIME After the black bear ran up the tree. totally incorrect. Many all grizzly bears can run at 10mpr up a tree and tear a black bear out of it stripping every branch on that tree all most. Grizzly's will fly up a tree at speeds .Compared to other animals. thier claws are built better than any black bear and 4 inches long in some full grown Boars.

    I live in Alaska, and we do indeed have huge bears. In 1998-1999 when I was a kid we had a huge grizz in our front yard after the moose it was chasing got away from it, 1200 lb moose and the bear was smacking it in the ass with his front paw and knocking it sideways, it decided to start charging towards my dog and my dad and I, it heard my dog barking and came hauling ass towards us. Dad grabbed his 12G shotgun, he fired one round over its head and it skidded to a stop and ran off, to this day my dad says it looked like a Buick with hair. It had to have been over 11 ft tall and close to 900lbs or more. It was a huge boar. That was down south by Homer, Ak.
