“Does anybody else remember that?”

I remember the incident but not the joke. Sadly, the bears were killed.

IIRC the bear in question was quite old, and some video Treadwell took showed it acting in very unusual (ie., pre-predatory) manner towards him. Of course, Mr. Nature thought he was some old broken-down has-been bear - not understanding that desperate old predators that can't compete for the usual fare will get... inventive with their cuisine.

The guide that went in and found the evidence, and eventually shot the bear was a little freaked out as that old griz was hunting him in the tight cover as well, 'knowing' he was an easy snack.

Luckily, I believe the guide/easy-snack was packing a .458 Winchester and that two or three shots from that took care of business.
