YouTube Description:
ABBOTSFORD, CANADA: Grizzly man Mark Dumas, 60, is the only man in the world who can touch a polar bear. And as these incredible pictures show the fearless bear handler from Abbotsford, British Columbia, even goes for dip in his swimming pool where he and 16-year-old polar bear Agee enjoy a watery cuddle together. Mark and wife Dawn, 60, train the 60-stone (800lb) friendly beast - the world's largest land predator - to star in high-budget TV adverts. She has even performed in movies like 'Alaska' in 1995 when she was just a few weeks old. With his incredibly intimate bond Mark wrestles on the grass with Agee, kisses her, puts his head in her huge jaws, and even bear hugs her as she rears up on her hind legs to over seven feet. Mark and Dawn have owned Agee since she was six weeks old and the colossal mammal even lived in their home as a cub where she played with the family dogs and was bottle fed.

In a few million years those big paws are going to be flippers.

ZifnabCrazy, I work in Abbotsford and had never heard of this guy before.
sholebears are a lot of fun

check the channel, it's all about this bear family
spoco2Man, that part where the bear lifts itself out of the water, the way the arms and shoulders are, and then the way he pulls himself up, looks human

I think you're referring to Timothy Treadwell (& Amie Huguenard).
IssykittyWhoops - was trying to post a link to this vid in the lounge and copied the link here by accident. Yay. Hi, @dotdude!
chingaleraRemember Siegfried and Roy? One of those cats eats through a tube now-Playing with tigers is almost the same as polar bears.
Opus_Moderandisays...Shouldn't he be called "Polar Man"? Not "Grizzly Man"... ? Cause it's a polar bear? Not a grizzly bear?

The difference is less than you'd think.
DeanoSo what colour is the bear? Wasn't there something about their folicles being transparent and the way light bounced off them made them look white?

As Chris Rock observed, everyone talking about the trained Tiger suddenly going crazy is wrong. The Tiger was crazy while it was walking on balls and riding bikes around potential food. The tiger finally trying to eat one of them was the tiger finally being a tiger again.
zorDo other bears swim like this? I see them eating fish and splashing in water but this polar bear looks like a competent swimmer.
FletchThis is just so fascinating to me. Remember Knut? I remember his keepers saying that after a certain age it's just too dangerous to continue human contact because they become so unpredictable. Cool video.
PaybackVideo title lies. ANYONE can swim with a polar bear. It's when the "swimming away from the polar bear" part comes that the story... diverges...
