“…Photographer Olga Barantseva, who took the astonishing pictures, said: 'The bear is really friendly. He loves hugging people. He's just like a very big dog…”

A VERY big dog. I wonder if the grizzly has been “fixed”.

There's this expert on Grizzly bears, I think his name is "Grizzly Man." Let's see what he has to say about this.

(those are stunning photographs, btw)

He was playing with wild Alaskan Brown Bears. And he had to roll the dice a lot of times before he sevened out. He seemed to have a pretty good relationship with a lot of them (until he ran into a old, sick, starving bear who wasn't playing.)

The bear in the article was domestically raised from a cub. That changes things. If you want to see how bears hand raised from cubs act, surf this channel:

Please let some low life thief break into that house. He may be a big ol teddy bear when all is well, Mother Nature would take over in a split second should a member of his family be threatened.

Very nice photos.

Well there's also Doug Seus, owner/trainer of the famous Bart the Bear, Honey Bump and others. Takes a special kind of knowledge and person to raise these amazing animals.
