Pet dog? Cat? Maybe a goldfish? Not for naturalist Casey Anderson, who adopted a grizzly bear cub seven years ago after the furry one-month-old was found orphaned in an overpopulated wildlife park. Anderson named his new pet Brutus, and the two have been inseparable ever since — together, they've set out on a yearlong mission to chronicle the lives of Yellowstone's vulnerable grizzly bears. The pair star in the National Geographic special “Expedition Grizzly featuring Casey Anderson,” airing Sunday, May 3 at p.m. ET/PT.

A pet grizzly bear? Neat! What could possibly go wrong?

[Slings and Arrows]

I'm sure this will end well.

Moluccan cockatoo.

[Atchafalaya]

I’ll see his bear and raise him two male 3 mos old chocolate Lab demons.

[eclecticEel]

What could possibly happen?

[stainlessbanner]

shh....he hasn’t seen that one yet

[Slings and Arrows]

Ah yes, Tim Snackwell.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Well when a man has a pet Grizzly he can be sure that the bear will be well fed.

[machogirl]

T. Treadwell, IMHO, was disturbed.

[ApplegateRanch]

he hasn’t seen that one yet

Do you mean the man, or the bear?

[ApplegateRanch]

Yes, getting eaten alive does tend to disturb one...for a little while. It disturbs the dessert in the next sleeping bag a little longer.

[Man has pet GRIZZLY BEAR] ....
What a freaking idiot.

[nickcarraway]

Didn't they make a show about this already?

[StilettoRaksha]

Cockatoos are so noisy and dangerous. My mother had them. After getting attacked, she got rid of them.

T. Treadwell, IMHO, was disturbed.

Yes, he was VERY disturbed by a bear. (IMHO, the bear was NOT disturbed)

[machogirl]

why am i wincing with a slight (shame on me) chuckle?

[machogirl]

that documentary was something else

[machogirl]

a guy in the documentary that knew him speculated that the bears had left him alone for so long because they thought he was “nuts”.

[period end of story]

It was a tad cheeky.

[microgood]

This will not end well.

[Slings and Arrows]

This will not end well.

Ya think?

[South40]

My cockatoo is certainly noisy at times but she is anything but dangerous. I’ve had her 21 years and she’s never bitten me or anyone else or presented any danger to anyone.

[machogirl]

just a “tad” ;)

[ottbmare]

I’ll bet it smells great, too!

[Covenantor]

Brutus shown here cavorting with his emergency Grizzly-CO-MRE.

[familyop]

Well, it’s the owner—not the breed. Banning grizzlies as pets would be like violating our Second Amendment. Now let’s see some photos of grizzlies cuddling with their owners. ;-)

[Little irony, humor and sarcasm there.]

Can I have a Tiger now???!?!

[familyop]

"Can I have a Tiger now???!?!"

Sure. We might as well make our bipartisan liberaltarian environment more interesting. ;-)

[shibumi]

"Now let’s see some photos of grizzlies cuddling with their owners. ;-)"

Like post #28?

(Of course that's not one of those dangerous "Pit Grizzlies.")

[familyop]

Of course not. It’s an American Staffordshire grizzly or American bulldog/mastiff grizzly. ;-)

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

Aw’ well,,,Harley would just chew it up and drag it in

the house and make a mess on the floor,,,

Like he did my Alligator...;0)

[Salamander]

The guy has a handsome face.
I hope he gets to keep it.

On his skull.

Exactly where it currently resides.

Ban Pit© Cockatoos!

[Salamander]

You silly thing.

It’s *obviously* a Cane Corso Grizzly.

Sheesh!

;-D

[Salamander]

At the age of 7, I’m going to assume it’s already gone through puberty and disaster has not struck.

I would also imagine he had the good sense to neuter it.

Usually, “raging hormones” play a part in wild “pet” animal attacks....that and spectacular stupidity.

:)

[Slings and Arrows]

“Spectacular stupidity”...like keeping a pet grizzly bear?

[Salamander]

Generally, yes...:)

[stainlessbanner]

I meant the Grizzly Man movie about that crazy activist that thought he was saving the bears. They did some documentary on this guy who went into the Alakan wilderness with his girlfriend. She got creeped out and left, but he stayed by himself late into the season video-recording his dangerous encouters with the bears. They ended up eating him.

Watch it again.

She stuck around and met the same fate as Treadwell.

[Titan Magroyne]

"I'm sure this will end well." Yeah.

Timothy ReTread well.
