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.

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

    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.

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

    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”.
