Bart the Bear™ was born in a zoo in 1977 and adopted by Doug and Lynne Seus and trained to be in films. The Seuses grand adventures with Bart took them from the Austrian Alps to the bejeweled backstage of the Academy Awards. Bart appeared in hundreds of films, including "The Bear", "The Great Outdoors", "Legends of the Fall", "Clan of the Cave Bear", and "The Edge", among others. He passed away in 2000. This video is a tribute to Bart, the Seuses, and the conservation nonprofit they created to protect habitat for wild grizzlies, The Vital Ground Foundation. Since its founding in 1990, Vital Ground has helped to protect and enhance over 416,000 acres of habitat in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Alaska, and British Columbia.

siftbotA different thumbnail image for this video could not be found for findthumb request by silvercord.
critttterOh crap! I meant to way upvote but I'm sitting in direct sunlight! Dang heck! Sorry sorry!
marinaraim pretty sure this has nothing to do with the bear-related death today at the predators-in-action facility. i could be wrong.
critttter^ Different place. I think that guy's name was Steve Miller, and the place was called 'Predators In Action'. Too tragic to be ironic. They're planning on putting down the bear that killed him, which is messed up.
siftbotMoving this video to silvercord's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 3 days.
gwiz665Ok, I'm not sure what to think here. I'm all for having pets and caring for them and even loving them (not like that, sickos). But this is just waay to sugarcoated for me. A bear is fucking dangerous, and people need to realize this - they are not children or pets. That these people could figure out how to work with the bear is good, but I wouldn't want to see average joes try to emulate this, because they would get dead fast.
But alright, if the bear enjoys it and the people enjoy it, who am I to judge.
gwiz665And that last part.. that bear is SO making Doug his "forest bride".
NorsuelefanttiA couple of scenes from the movie "The Bear", in wich Bart played:

Are you saying you wouldn't want to play wrassle with a bear? It looks like a lot of fun.
