This bear uses an inside voice
Meet Brutus, an 800-pound grizzly bear raised since birth by naturalist Casey Anderson.
Anderson is married to actress Missi Pyle, whose credits include Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. The bear was the best man at their wedding, reports the Daily Mail.
Anderson is the subject of a recent documentary, Expedition Grizzly, for which he lived for a year among bears in Yellowstone National Park. His friendship with Brutus, however, began seven years ago when the cub was orphaned on a reserve that was already overpopulated.
Anderson whisked the cub away to Bozeman, Montana, where he built the Montana Grizzly Encounter, so that Brutus could grow up as a bear should.
Brutus loves to swim in the pool and lick his faithful owners. The Daily Mail has an unbelievable collection of Brutus photographs - including one of him eating Thanksgiving dinner with Anderson’s family that mustbe Photoshopped but National Geographic vouches is real. Anderson tells National Geographic that if the human interactions ever get to be too much for Brutus, the bear’s feelings will be respected.
Expedition Grizzly re-airs Saturday, May 9, at 9 p.m.
