Why the Grizzly Man Didn't Survive: Eaten Alive on Camera
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 янв 2024
- Timothy Treadwell was a bear enthusiast. He believed that he'd developed a special bond with a group of Alaskan grizzly bears. Right up until the moment they ate him alive. It was the end of a routine expedition in October 2003 when his girlfriend Amy heard him screaming outside their tent.

His mistake was thinking he was somehow special. He wasn't. He was just another meal. As soon as we get cocky and full of ourselves, common sense departs from us.
He WAS special, bears love white meat....hahahahahahahahaha
He should have left. He would have known that they where hunting for hibernation. Even animals you would never think would eat or would not think could eat meat or engage in eating there own species or even children will and can depending on the situation.
I think the real problem was he humanized them to much. Nature is amazing but a healthy respect and caution goes a long way.
it is easy to try to understand things from a human intelligence way of thinking. Like you hear people say that this type of crow has the problem solving intelligence of a 5 year old human. But even though that can be true they do not get to the solution the same way. Its just a different intelligence.
to me that is more interesting also. Like wow that animal did the same thing but the process and way it got to the solution came about in a different way.
He probably would have been in a situation later where it is him or the bear with what he was doing.
I remember after this happened he was recorded saying he knew they would probably kill him one day and he hopes nothing happened to the bear. I hope that dude found peace and atleast he turned his life around before the bitter end doing something that gave him purpose and a good reason to live and not escape in a bottle. His poor mother though.
They weren't cocky, they were stupid.
@@jakerazmataz852both are true
he was but not in that way
Moral of the story:
Leave wild animals alone in their habitat.
Do not disturb them.
Do not befriend them either.
He didn't disturb them.... He offered them a free meal.
Humans have to stick their noses into everything unfortunately
@@jamesnewman8011..."come here bear...chow my balls!"
@@jamesnewman8011Offering free meal cost his life as well.
I did some research. The bears he befriended didn’t kill him. It was an older 28 years old bear who was in his last days. It had wandered in the area after it couldn’t hunt much.
Yes, and he didn't know about it because he took his eye off the ball. What is overlooked is that he survived all those summers with the bears and the one where he brought a girl out they both died. He should have read the warning signs better and was inexperienced in how the bears would respond to a pack of (2) humans
And he cost some of those very bears their lives. They died because he acclimated them to humans so when they tried to approach others people shot them out of fear. This is why it’s hard for me to find sympathy for him his foolishness & arrogance ended up endangering what he claimed to be protecting.
Animals, like humans, are a mixed bunch. There's all sorts of them. Just google "Wojtek wikipedia", a human-friendly bear. So yeah, not all of them are the same. Just how some random human psycho will kill another human or other animal. What about all the dolphins being friendly around humans?
@@karawigley6231 You make the assumption that bears can't differentiate between specific humans? Or just don't care to. Bears come into contact with loads of different things in their day to day activities.
@@karawigley6231 if it’s true that the bear that killed him was a random one that wandered in the area, then they didn’t die because they were acclimated to humans. That one was never acclimated to any humans as the ones he was chill with weren’t the ones that killed him
This is a case where the cameraman didn't survive
Camera woman*
Tbf no one was holding the camera, apparently it was found buried in a duffle bag or under one
@@SGOV86how ? He was the main cameraman
@@msunje9862 his wife was filming.
@@SGOV86so him and his girlfriend got eaten and the wife survived?
Pisses me off when someone thinks they can befriend a wild animal. Person gets killed by wild animal and wild animal gets shot because of someone's dumb decision. One of the many reasons why wild animals should be left ALONE.
He was hard to digest with his antics
It's not like that.
woke mentality at work
The moral is don't do drugs
@@exentr😂 facts
He had so many warnings by experts and rangers. They even banned him at one time. The thing he should be blamed for is putting his girl friend in mortal danger.
Doesn't she have a mind of her own?
@@joevarga5982exactly! That was a grown woman. She knew the dangers of bears. If she chose to go out there and listen to/trust a fool that says he was apart of the bear “society” then that’s on her.
@@jessicavalentine4807you seems to forget the fact that Thimothy was a narcissistic manipulator, and the girlfriend had a diary found where it was written that she was scared of the bears and wanted to leave.
Timothy's girlfriend was an adult and had agency. It's not like he used duct tape and electrodes to force her to go with him.
@@ernestmoulin8962 I didn’t forget anything. She’s a grown woman that met a man and before being in a relationship heard him speak about his closeness to bears, being one with them, and knowing he likes to be out there. He didn’t just spring it on her it was reportedly all he ever talked about. Even knowing all this she thought “yeah let me date this guy”. She had a chance to avoid him but ppl always ignore red flags. So again this grown woman made a choice.
Even if someone raises a bear from a cub, they still can turn on that person. Sad story.
Any wild animal. That's why they are called wild.
i mean, the same cases are known to happen with dogs, and those are domesticated. every animal can be unpredictable, you can't take out their nature completely, always need to be careful with your approach
@@sylvierr0n277yeah
I agree, even a dog can/has turned on their owners.
@@sylvierr0n277 IKR. My pet human keeps trying to get out of his cage. His primal instincts keep making him mutter "Freedom... I-I want freedom!" I'm trying to be careful with him to make sure he doesn't hurt me!
As i kid I used to befriend dogs all the time. I thought I was literally a dog magnet but it turned out that I have never met a truly aggressive dog at the time.
Dogs are domesticated animals. They've been transformed so through thousands of years of indoctrination and breeding. If an animal domesticated thousands of years before can sometimes act unpredictably, imagine an aggressive wild predator.
@@wintersnoob dogs have around the same human kill count as some wild animals😭 proof that you can never fully domesticate an animal
Pitbull attacked his own owner guy lost his arm. Dont play with these animals man. They are unpredictable
Dogs aren't bears.
If a Grizzly bear doesn't attack you, it simply hasn't realized you're edible yet.
Funny but not a funny time.😊
How could he be so stupid to act and look like food, and that on the bears court.
Or it's not hungry enough
If that were true cats and dogs would be eating each other all the time.
Wild cats ad dogs will eat each other . Domesticated cats and dogs are breeded to get along .@@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole
The ignorance and hubris of this man was unbelievable. No bear spray, ignoring warnings, thinking he's somehow the bear's friends, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Unreal. RIP to his girlfriend and the bears.

This man was "protecting" the bears in a US national park that's already protected (lol) and meddling with wild life he had absolutely no business bothering. He got what he was asking for. Sorry for his girlfriend though and of course those two bears who were euthanized for having natural instincts and end of season hunger. Ridiculous to put them down. Man should have been arrested a long time ago.
he called them 'bear friends' but he didn't believe they would never attack him. he was foolhardy but he didn't believe he was impervious
As seen on a t shirt '' What doesn't kill you will make you stronger, except for bears, they will kill you.''
Anyone that goes and lives among bears and doesn't bring a gun is insane. I've heard too many stories that bear spray can make the bears more angry. They definitely WILL kill you for sure!
Dude was directly responsible for the death of two grizzly bears.
Being mauled by a bear is one of my biggest fears even though I live nowhere near their natural habitat.
Idk, being impaled by deer antlers is pretty scary too
My son lives in the woods in New Hampshire. They have a lot of wildlife on their property. I am always alert to bears and moose. Being killed by a wild animal is one of my biggest fears!

Naw lil Timmy was bored and didn’t know how to end it!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
True sane here 😂
From what I've read the bears that did Treadwell and his wife in weren't actually the local bears, but migrants passing through. These bears had no familiarity with either of them, and they looked like food to bears that had been traveling a while - and were very, very hungry. He'd been warned to ditch the area *because* they knew the migration and storage season for hibernation got wound up during that time. If the migrants didn't get them the local bears sooner or later would. Once those bears decided they'd make a great bit of trail mix, they had absolutely zero chance.
The bears had to be killed, too. Once an animal like that learns that humans are edible, they will always start seeking us out as easy prey and in a park like that, that's an unacceptable risk. So Treadwell's stupidity not only killed himself and his wife, but the actual bears he claimed to love so much.
Exactly!
It's so Enlightening to read all the "Experts" here, like you...
Wrong you were miss informed
@@mikehewitt2146From Wikipedia:
"The bears he had been used to during the summer had already gone into torpor, and bears that Treadwell did not know from other parts of the park were moving into the area. Some of the last footage taken by Treadwell, hours before his death, includes video of a bear diving into the river repeatedly for a piece of dead salmon. Treadwell mentioned in the footage that he did not feel entirely comfortable around that particular bear."
So the bears where killed for being bears
One of My favorite parts of watching Grizzly Man was the sweet relationship between TT and the foxes. It made me realize that dogs really are man’s best friend. 🦊 Rest in peace TT and Amy 🐻

TW: I have heard the recording. It still gives me nightmares. I hear her screaming for him to “play dead” while watching her partner eaten alive before they came for her. Surprisingly this is not the most tragic story about someone being eaten by a bear that I have heard. I also read a story written by the mother of a girl who was on the phone with her mom while
Being eaten alive by a bear. The bear had killed the woman’s boyfriend first then went for her daughter. The daughter was on the phone with her mom for an hour as she passed away. The phone kept dropping. At the end of the call the daughter said she knew the end was coming because “it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Where did you find the recording ? From what i have read it doesn't exist.
It’s really hard to imagine why some people think bears are not cruel animals. Japan’s Sankebetsu brown bear incident
, bear ate women ，because the bear thought women were delicious

They were eaten in October. The hunger increases right before hibernation. It’s best to leave prior to that increase in hunger. I work as an RN. I took care of a man who who had survived an attack from a grizzly. He balled himself up protecting his neck and abdomen. The wounds from the swipes of the grizzly paws were absolutely huge!
I knew a guy who got attacked in AK, by 3 bears in 48 hours.
Luckily for him, he had his rifle nearby and he was a marksman.
The bear stew was quite tasty. True story.
Let's get cooking. 👩🍳🍓
@@chefgiovanni From what I understand is that you don't even see a bear or mountain lion coming so even if you're armed if you don't see or hear them it's pretty much over. Your friend must be a trained tracker or hunter too.
I cannot imagine how horrific those injuries were. You must be made of steel. God bless you and all the people who take care of us when we are not able.
From Sherri not Pete.
You're a dedicated nurse, Lisanet, I imagine those wounds would look like something a blindfolded butcher would make - you only have to look at the teeth, and esp those claws the literal size of human fingers, with a 600 lb Grizzle behind them!
Little did they research ? Or less or more their unwitting bravado ‘ don’t mess with Mother Nature ! Leave them alone !!!
There is a reason people who live in the Alaskan Wilderness never leave the house without a rifle.
Amen, yes - they Are Not so Naive.

Some German Shepherds and other dangerous breeds for that matter can be just as deadly enough to do a job on you for lunch 🥩 as some bears 🐻 ya know. All I can say is if you’re a FRIENDLY-bear-lover ❤as I am, CHOOSE WISELY on where to find places that have friendly, low-keyed bears 🐻.
Meantime I only HALFWAY believe in this story! The other half of me says it’s a CROCK! If there is any truth to it then this couple were IDIOTS who didn’t take the warning seriously to keep away from these (particular) bears 🐻 deemed to be dangerous!

I've never understood people who insist on treating wild animals like this. Lions, tigers, bears, pythons. It's not a matter of "if" but "when".
I was in Katmai during July 1990 and as soon as we stepped off the floatplane, rangers gave us the strict rules....then told us there was a guy getting too close to the bears. That turned out to be Treadwell on his first visit to that park. He was lucky he lasted 13 seasons.
If someone wants to be careless with their own life, that's their business; but when someone is careless with the life of others, that's not just immoral; it's criminal.
Yes true 👍🏻
What matters most to me is how people react to what is called evil and selfishness. Most people hate evil. I don't trust them.
she had the choice, she is responsible for her actions
I seriously doubt he forced her to go ther eand participate. She's equally at fault
WHAT? @@-._._-._
They weren't bears that he was "friends with. They were bears who were looking for food. He was camped right on a bear trail, with his camp site hidden so that the rangers couldn't see it and force him to move it. He wasn't simply a bear enthusiast. He was a nut case who pushed his luck around bears as far as he possibly could.
Yep. I Remember that friendly bears went to sleep so strangers could came in that area too.
yeah, some of his actions were hard to swallow.
Or not.
Another fake expert looking for an excuse to get killed.
That's when Darwinism came into play and said " Not today, dumba**"
And he admitted he was a nut case, jangiel.
Who’s here because “bears are safer than human men now” 😂
Same here, ain't no way I want to be anywhere near a bear they're deadly
this bear in particular killed because it was that time of the season where they're extremely hungry before hibernation and he was there looking for food. human men kill for any reason and they're closer and never go into hibernation, so

If you think you have a bond with a wild animal you are wrong. There are some rare cases where they may pick you. But you never engage them. I would never. I respect Bears so much and I am terrified of them. I also think they are so beautiful. But I’ll admire them at a distance.
Sometimes people have personality flaws and make wrong decisions. This was a prime example. Animals do not think like humans. They just survive as best they could and eat when hungry.
Just like humans they will kill you too, just driving everyday is a life or death challenge. Bears don't know not to attack and kill humans. But humans KNOW and can READ a posted speed limit and learn to keep safe distances and not to weave in and out of traffic, but they DO and a high rates of speed. HUMANS ARE MUCH HAPPIER TO KILL YOU THAN WILDLIFE. Wildlife only knows SURVIVAL
Why didn’t he survive? 1500 lbs, 6” teeth, 8” claws, strength of a tank, speed of a thoroughbred…. No one can survive an attack!

The bear that killed Tim and Amy weren't the bears he had made friends with, they were unfamiliar bears. He should have been prepared and brought a gun and he knew better than to stay past the time of hibernation when bears are desperate for food. Being too arrogant to ignore all the warnings from the park service he hated so much, and not bringing a gun was his and Amy's downfall.

That was her decision also. She wasn't a child.
He was bipolar, and thought he was invincible. Not an idiot, mentally ill. He had a problem with alcohol and drugs at one point. He truly believed he had a special bond with the bears, and he was screaming for her to run, but she didn’t. She made her own decision, he didn’t force her.

Excellent point...
There was zero reason to shoot them. They were in the middle of BEAR country. They knew how they were killed. You don't need stomach contents. I bet those bears are stuffed at a rangers house or lodge. FU*KERS.

Once animals get a taste for human they become more aggressive and dangerous to mankind. They do the same to crocs and sharks here in Australia that attack and/ or kill people.
People are more valuable than animals. That's just the way it is. We are made in God's image, animals aren't.

"Ye Gong Loves Dragons"(葉公好龍)
There was once a man named Ye Gong who loved dragons so much that he had dragon patterns carved all over his house. When the dragons in the sky heard that Ye Gong was obsessed with dragons, they decided to come down to earth and visit Ye Gong's house to show him what a real dragon looked like.
Originally, everyone thought that Ye Gong would be very happy to see a real dragon, but to their surprise, Ye Gong was so scared that he was out of his mind and his face turned pale. Only then did everyone realize that Ye Gong did not like real dragons, but rather fake dragons that looked like dragons but were not.
This Grizzly Man is the same kind of person. He was obsessed with the beautiful bears in his fantasy, but when he was faced with the real side of the bears, he broke down. The wildness of the bears shattered his fantasy. His most real reaction before he died was to yell at his girlfriend to attack the bears. If there is a god, I would not think he would consider him a truly "good person".
She had it way worse. She knew what was coming and just had to wait it out.
Oh shit you’re right. 😳
He begged her to run away, but she tried to attack the bear with a frying pan or something, and got mauled to death herself. So she didn't wait, she jumped into it.
She had a radio. she could have left

@@parapoliticos52 are you stupid? She could've left to go where? She did have a car. You think you can just walk off deep in bear country and get away from the bears? Had a radio and done what? Was still a 2 hour flight if the guy left right then.
Some people think that wild animals or reptiles are to be controlled by kindness or passion. It always last as long as the predator wants.
And that used to be widely accepted as simply common sense. Now we encourage 'love' to sharks, crocodiles, venomous snakes - protected to the point of horrific. Snakes are being found in people's beds, babies' cribs, crocs parade suburban streets looking for prey, and sharks even though OBVIOUSLY losing ocean food sources now and coming SO close into beaches (even below 3 ft of water), are ignored. As someone else said, you can't cure stupid. Wake up people: If you don't CULL and KILL predators, they WILL breed in the zillions and kill US. Even dogs and cats know, and act on this, immediately!
Why did you make a distinction between "animals" and "reptiles"? Reptiles are also wild animals.

Bro took cameraman never dies seriously
Werner Herzog's 2005 documentary film on this, "Grizzly Man", is excellent. I highly recommend watching it.
I don’t know what he did to conserve the animals. Animals got killed because he was eaten by them, through a fault, which is entirely his.
I feel sorry for the bears that were killed and the families of the couple who got eaten, but not the couple themselves. They were reckless and stupid for thinking they could befriend bears.
They didn't get eaten this channel is straight up lies. They had bodies to recover = not eaten...
yeah, taking out an animal for doing what it does naturally just doesnt make any sense.
It could have been even worse. Another couple who believed in Timothy's fairy tales about friendly teddy bears could have died.
Yep; it's up there with: "I am a female with a d!#k"
First Timothy didn't kill the bear, others did, so complain to them, second will be a question: why he went on drugs? smart ass?! He would die probably of overdose. 3. Who bothered the Timothy ? As you know he was drug addicted, maybe bear bothered? He got a life, short but LIFE, probably it was going something wrong, mistake, I don't know, but only what i know, he was enjoying in a full, check his face, smart boy. I wouldn't go close to bear for nothing in the world, but even if he is different as i am i understand him, he find the Life, what you or others will not get even you life 200years. Better be alive 10 years than 500 years in prison, but you don't get it.
Where is problem with Palestinians, Ukrainians?!Dead bodies everywhere(child,women,elderly,..) Maybe they didn't listen instructions of professionals?!?! What about car accident?!, Arm robbery, ....
He was dying in normal life like many others, he didn't want to risk or looking for his death belong bears, but he find happiness in some strange way but still ok. What about people going on big mountains like everest,... maybe others copy them and they do, they are many frozen bodies on the hills. You are talking nonsense.

I’m so sorry that he got killed. My deepest condolences for the poor bear.
I always find it funny when people think the world is all rosy and peaceful then find out the hard way. My late father's girlfriend once thought that she had a peaceful aura that animals could sense. She once visited a friend of my father with a very mean dog that she thought she could pet after being told not to go near the bad dog, but she insisted saying that she had a special connection with animals. The dog bit her so hard she needed stitches.
How was the dog the "bad" one in this situation? Dogs give very clear and obvious warnings when they want to be left alone. Idiot humans ignore those warnings. And the dogs get blamed.
Lol emotional damage 😂 if she had her ego in check she wud have not been bit

One thing needs to be clear -- we dont see wolves or dogs in the circus. Dog is different -- aside from millenia of domestication, dogs/wolves are just simply smarter. They are smart enough to want to be with us as opposed to cooerced. All that dog needed was time and patience, a muzzle, lots and lots and lots of runs and walks. Unless you are Cesar Millan -- you dont have a "special connection" per se. Even Millan's gift is rooted in calm confident energy, its not a thing you can tell yourself you have -- animals tell you if you have it. The difference between bears and wolves (dogs)?
Literally ten to fifteen thousand years of breeding and culling until the tame and friendly ones remain. If anything it is actually impressive with zero generations of domestication, bears will spend time with us at all. But in the end Dogs mad the first choice to be with us and thats why they remain. The only other two animals we spend time with in our homes traditionally are cats and horses and both of which we tamed. Dogs chose us because they are smarter.
So hard😂
He did fit into their group. The dinner time group. Unbelievable that anyone could think they could live with wild bears
But he was killed by passerby bears, not the ones he had "befriended" before. Always usefull to know the full facts.
@@dieminervaeule does it matter what Bear??????? He pit his own self in danger (and his girlfriend too) no need to wonder why you got the outcome that happened.
@@christineswick5977 Yes, to some point it does matter. The video suggests that he was killed by the very bears he "befriended", which isn't the case at all. We can only speculate if the bears that knew him would have attacked him or not, but the point is, we don't know. It was without a doubt foolish of him to put his tent up in that area where different bears gathered, and in October to boot. But, what I'm trying to get at is that people now criticize him for trying to interact with the bears to such a heavy degree, stating that this behaviour got him killed, which, like I said, isn't the case. He got killed by a wild animal he never met before, thats a fact. All other things are just speculation.
@@dieminervaeule doesn’t matter which wild bear ate him. He intentionally ignored warnings deliberately put himself(and another) in danger. Unfortunately bad things can happen regardless but especially when someone makes poor decisions
@@christineswick5977 I personally would never interact with a wild animal in the way he did, as I think it's foolish. But, he wanted to prove that one could form a bond with wild animals such as bears by getting the animals used to him. And this point he was trying to make actually was never disproven, since he was killed by a bear he never had met before. And yet now, people on the net are calling him a fool for doing what he did, when in reality, we don't really know if the bears that got used to him would have acted on their instincts the same way this passerby bears did. Thats the point I'm trying to make. You're right, accidents can always happen, especially if wild animals are involved. But we shouldn't judge someones life decisions as bad or wrong when we got no real evidence that they were factually wrong.
4:07 thats what the bear who ate him thought while eating😂
Treadwell named a wild grizzly 'Booble'. No, that's a name for a tiny, ferocious kitten.
I watched the documentary and Timothy Treadwell took many many chances. He also was bi-polar which played a part in his death as well. The footage from above his campground is frightening, you can imagine the chaos. He was unwell.
how bi-polar played a part of that?
@@androne55 If you watch the movie you can see where he is having "episodes" where he isn't in touch with reality. He actually believed that he had a relationship with these animals and was accepted by them. He didn't always take medication and it showed in the film.
@@androne55 In a state of mania a lot of people have impulsive behaviour. They can be delusional and act far different than their normal habits. Some people will go on a huge shopping spree and spend money they don't have or take huge risks they wouldn't normally take. Others will stay up for several days unable to sleep they are abnormally happy, enthusiastic and energetic and their mind races. I had a relative that phoned me at 6 Am on a Sunday to ask me to her child's baptism.
the audio was a reconstruction the real audio has never been released
That's right. The plane that dropped them off returned a few days later to pick them up and there was footage from the air of the devastation. The anima was merciess, clothes strewn everywhere....I remember his watch was recovered as well.

"...what made these grizzlies snap?" They're effing bears! That's why they "snapped!"
Anyone opposed to bears is both racist and oppressive.
some people say the bears that killed him where unfamilair bears just passing through the area,wel ya if you try to get close to new strangers you might get mauled.
the bears he new didnt snap he just found new bears.
Bears snapping 😂 Ridiculous.
The bears didn't snap, they were just acting like bears
@@jakevendrotti1496 Lol just the thought of bears snapping
That bear had a great hibernation feeling fat from those two.

@@lifedeather I fed and clothed my chld. What's your point?
I learned a great deal about this guy. My ex girlfriend, years ago, was in college and did a paper on this guy. The girlfriend actually had broken up with him on the trip. She felt terrible to end the relationship, chose to do it on the trip. There is absolutely no secret recordings of this happening. Only one person has the audio and there was no video.
The girlfriend,or ex girlfriend by that point is a hero. She never left Timothy and fought the bear by hitting it with a frying pan. She had numerous opportunities to run and Timothy is heard screaming for her to run away. She stayed right there till the end when the bear finally turned on her.
You don't really know that for sure though. Did you talk to the guy that has the recording? Maybe he let someone rip the footage.
True Love or ex-Love
What secret recordings? Nobody mentioned any secret recordings. Audio is on internet so i would say more than one person has it and i don't remember her hitting bear with frying pan anyways it's not like you could outrun a bear anyways.
The actual audio has never been released on ANY platform. You may see many ones that claim to be the real recording, but I promise you, it is not available. Yes, she hit the bear in the head with a frying pan and other various things that had no effect on the bear. It eventually turns to her and attacks. The medical examiner heard the audio and says it sounds like a frying pan.
@@desertweasel6965 But this video mentioned the audio was leaked on the internet and i could swear i listened to it years ago randomly popping on it. It didn't have much background about the people at least i don't remember clearly, but watching this i instantly recalled that audio and from the details i was sure it was the same bear attack.
I found this and I actually met the pilot who recovered them in the sense and told me some inside details that were cool to here.
then would you tell us about the details?? like the gore ones that wouldn't be mentioned in any source
Surrealist 6:57 the guy listening the audio and the woman with that face haha 😂
It's a simple lesson in life that everyone should understand: If it sounds like a bad idea it probably is. This was always an epically bad idea and everyone knew it but him.
And the Darwin Award for 2003 is shared by two people this year.........
I think it is incredible he managed to survive so many years. I would get killed by the first bear encountered.
1995 I was assigned to Angoon, Ak on Admiralty Island. Angoon has a Senior Center that host guest speakers on Wednesday. This particular Wednesday Timothy Treadwell and Darrin Burrows were in attendance. You may remember Darrin Burrows from the tv program Northern Exposure set in Alaska. He played the character of Ed Chigliach, a young native man.
After lunch Timothy asked to speak. He explained that he and Darrin were on the island because of the high Brown Bear population and hope to get some good footage of the bears. He went to great lengths to get it across to everyone how he is “ONE” with all bears and never would they harm him.
After he left, Coney Star, one of the elders of the village. A man who usually had very few words to say, said, that is a man who is going to die one of these days. Actually 8 years later.
that's probably why he thought he had the special bond. "knock on wood" could only last so long for him
Nah, most visitors follow the park rangers advices religiously. bears have no reason to hurt you if you stay away from them and don't stay beyond the fattening season. Fatty juicy Salmons is what they want to eat. And they are so plentiful they only eat them partly, like a spoiled kid with his food that skips most of it and goes directly for the desert.
Yeah, Treadwell basically waste all his remaining luck during those final nights. He and his gf actually on their way home until argument about airplane ticket price make him angry, which make them decided to return to campsite. A very unfortunate decision
Bear was like, yummy yum yum.
He said he was there to protect the bears, but his stupideness eventually lead to the bears being shot instead...
Never under any circumstance underestimate the power of stupidity.
Absolutely and a lot of times we as people allow our emotions to overwhelm our intelligence which is the clearest path down the road of foolishness 💯
More importantly, never under any circumstance underestimate the power of a bear
Yeah, intelligence has limits, however stupidity does not.
Some people still don't believe that bears are very dangerous 🙄
The only dangerous one, here, was Tim Treadwell. He was an idiot. These bears, Alaskan Brown Bears tolerated him interfering in their lives for THIRTEEN YEARS before he pressed his luck. He stayed a week longer than usual, and bears who were not familiar with him saw him as a threat (and the bears were right) and decided they'd had enough. His stupid selfish ego caused the death of those two bears! Given the number of bears found in the US and Canada living amongst us, attacks are far and few. They don't want to encounter us anymore than we want to become their dinner. If Tim took all the proper precautions and respected that this was THEIR territory and not his, he'd still be alive. I live in black bear country, and they are sighted in the neighborhoods and towns every summer. They have never bothered anyone, preferring to venture out at night. If someone stumbles across one, they run off into the woods. Don't be such a drama queen.
They think every bear is a teddy bear
Love, love will tear us apart, again
Because he stayed much later in the season, due to some sort of mishap going back (dealing with people). Different bears were in the area
I used to read his book "Among Grizzlies" before school and before bed and couldn't believe he thought he was so special that a wild animal wouldn't attack him. His book came out before he died and I wasn't surprised when he did die years later.
Tragic that his irresponsibility ended up damaging the very cause he fought for.
His death neatly concluded that the cause he fought for was nothing but a foolish fallacy.
Tragic for the bears not for the asanine humans
@@sonofabraham4094 It's simple, he wanted a better life for the bears. No fallacy about it. And because of his doing, 2 bears were killed.
@@waranghira you are a very silly person
Fought for how? By being a delusional nutcase? lol
Dedicated in a small way to people who never constrain thier pets when they are busy biting the people around them.
He kept food in his camp and tent! There were rumors he fed bears. He habituated multiple bears to humans. He was the biggest threat to them. There are approximately 25000 grizzlies in Alaska.
"This fire won't burn me because we have a special relationsh... OOOUUCHHH!!!"
He did have a special relationship with certain bears but the bears that attacked him were not "his" bears.
He is part of them now.
"I wont die from falling because me and ground are friends"
Can’t let wild animals get used to human presence. Here in Australia we have a cycle of people getting close to, taking selfies and feeding dingos (wild Australian dogs) which is banned. And then the dingo attacks someone (sometimes fatal) and then gets euthanised because it’s become a threat as it’s comfortable with human presence. Rules are there for good reason.
There was footage of him trying to pet a massive grizzly as it was bathing. It let him know immediately it didn't like to be touched. There's a similar story from Russia of a guy getting eaten by bears. They went through his camera and there was one bear of interest. Pics started off with it snarling because it didn't appreciate being followed and the final pic it was snarling with all of it's teeth visible which was the final warning.
Bear: Now we have bear you enough!!
There was another "Bearman" of Alaska who met the same gruesome fate but in Kamchatka. He was a well known Japanese photographer called Michio Hishino who published an award-winning book of his photos of Alaskan bears and was also published in National Geographic. He became famous in Japan and had highly publicised exhibitions of his photos. He held the same beliefs as this fool but minus the arrogance. During the time he became well known I became well known as an award-winning whale photographer from a kayak in Southeast Alaska and I really wanted to meet him. It was on one of my long kayaking trips in 1996 that I was informed that he had been killed by a rogue bear in Kamchatka when he was with a film crew making a documentary about him. I was devastated by the news because I had felt an affinity with him through our intimate relationship with Alaskan wildlife; both foreigners, I'm British, who fell in love with Alaska. But I was dismayed when I heard the details because it was foolishness and pride that killed him, and the same sense as Treadwell's that he was a brother to the bears and untouchable. They knew there was a suspect bear in the area but he insisted on sleeping in his tent while the film crew found protection in an observation tower. They heard his screams at night and watched helplessly as the bear dragged him into the bushes and partially ate him. His death, like Treadwell's was so avoidable. I had a lot of close bear encounters when I was camping in Southeast Alaska but in that situation wirh the knowledge that there was a suspect bear in the area there's no way that I would have slept in my tent, and I have lived to write my long overue story of the Whaleman of Alaska.
Did the bear get tummy ache eating man clothes ???
So glad that his crew made the right choice and slept in the tower. Sadly Amy should have been smarter not to follow Timothy’s foolishness…….
@@miamoore6587Timothy story happened much later. Lol... Almost a decade later 😅😅😅
Why minus the arrogance?
Timothy broke many of his own rules. A few days earlier they were scheduled to leave but there was a problem at the airport with their flight, something Timothy really blew up over and decided to go back out with his GF into the park. This was a rule broken. Once you get into later October, he always made it a point to leave before than as you would now see the older, more desperate hungry and aggressive bears trying to fatten themselves up before they slumber. He had never been in the park this late in the season. He documented all his feelings about the National park and how he saw himself as a hero against them and attached some wild conspiracy that the National park was out to harm the bears. Timothy treated bears as if they were wayward innocent children and his lack of respect for them as hungry predators led to his and his girlfriend's demise at the hands of them. But he probably did get closer to the bears than anyone ever has but his own poor judgement and choices put him in a position for the bears to do what comes naturally in late October., that is hunt and live, or starve and die and he put himself in their literal crossroads of where they migrate and hunt. Camped on probably the most dangerous strip of land for bears anyone ever has. RIP Timothy and Amy.
That a man who himself admitted that he was not exactly right in the head survived 13 years out there is pretty amazing, though.
Except it wasn't late in October. It was October 5th.
@@BigSkySix Except anytime in October, you need to be gone from the back country. That is late in bear fattening season. So, anytime in October. The bear don't care if it was the 5th or 25th.. lol. For 13 years he abided by this rule and for a reason, this reason.
His pride killed him. Bears do what bears do. I saw that documentary right when it came out and thought Treadwell played a fool. Excellent documentary. Foolish, foolish man. He did it to himself with more than enough warnings.
@@Seeklip6T Well said. I mean he would sit there and baby talk to them as if they were willful toddlers. I give him credit for going around the bears he knew best, or tolerated the baby talk for as long as they did. But once it became fattening season in October and camping where he did that night? Put him away from the normal bears he saw at a crossroad of bears he didn't know. I'm not sure we'll ever see anyone so obsessed with bear to take this kind of approach and risk again. Many Park official warned im of the risks for years. He literally thought the park service was out to harm the bears. Blows my mind.
I remember when this happened. Timothy stated there was bear in the area that he didn’t know and he had concerns because the bear didn’t know him either…Timothy called him “Ole” i think and that is said to be the bear that deleted him….Also Amy said she had a dream they were eaten by bears the night before…
how can i get the tape?
I can't believe it took an 8 minute video to explain why he didn't survive, he didn't survive because he messed with grizzly bears.
I don't understand
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Timothy Treadwell thought that he had a "special relationship" with the grizzly bears. Unfortunately nobody told the grizzly bears about their "special relationship" so they ate him and his girlfriend. He was a dope who worked as a waiter and went around schools telling children how cute and cuddly and friendly the grizzly bears were. Tragically, his girlfriend Amy, was terrified of the bears and he got her killed too through his stupidity.
Did he tie her up or force her to go with him?
“ah yes i’d rather be alone with a bear in the woods than any man”
The wild creatures paid for his ego and fame with their lives. That's unconscionable.

Those bears just tolerated his presence then ran out of patience as winter began to set in .........
Actually, this was a different set of bears. The ones he hung around migrated or hibernated (can’t remember) and the ones that killed him (presumably) weren’t familiar to him.
I am the same way when I am hungry 😂
@@meadahagain It's at least some consolation that it wasn't the bears he had built some kind of connection with that killed him, nor the ones that were then sadly killed.
@@sharonmontano4924 I know my sister becomes a bear when she's hungry.
The recording has been out here on the internet for years
He thought he was an expert but didn't really understand the bear's point of view. Bears don't care about some "special bond" with humans when they are hungry, they need to find food to survive. Even humans can become cannibals when they are hungry enough.
it's like a grilled yummy chicken would try to make a special bond with you on a remote island when you really hungry heh.
Bear: Wait I'm a bear and you're food.
Again.........THE BEARS THAT KILLED THEM WERE NOT THE BEARS HE HAD BONDED WITH!! Not to say that it wouldn't have happened but the bears that he had bonded with didn't kill him.
play stupid games win stupid prizes,they should have give a medal to this bear for its patience all these years.
thats a zillakami song
You know people say, play stupid games and win stupid Prizes..
How Dare they? "I've heard that somewhere"
Well it’s not my intent to desecrate the memory of a person like him but I guess his ego got the best of him. He was told by experts not to stay idle in a bear eating ground for so long and he thought in his ignorance that he was the bear man and just ended up getting chew like jerky by one of the bears…girlfriend included. Ignorance is deathly.
Arrogant Fruitcake + Dunning Kruger = Timothy
Pride is our downfall
this was his thirteenth and last visit to Alaska. Very unlucky.
I don’t feel a bit sorry for people that do stupid things and get killed. Those kind of people are dangerous to the rest of us.
Facts
Someone who decides to befriend a wild animal, in the wild animal's natural habitat, poses no danger to anyone. On the other hand, DOMESTIC DOGS, with OWNERS, kill thousands of people every year, worldwide. A big and powerful dog, for example, is pretty much a legal deadly weapon. So, too often, without realizing, our lives are in the hands of people who have such dogs.
@@HeathenDance Horses and cows kill more people than dogs do. Google it.
