No it was about this time last year, this guy was a photographer. He used to crawl up to bears and sing to them all the time. They had a thread on that last year that lasted about a week.
He was some hippie for CA that decided to go back to nature to help him cure his drug problems. A bear killed him and his girl friend. They had a video recorder on at the time, so the DNR guys got to hear the entire thing. A lot of growling and screaming and his famous last words of, "Hit the bear with the frying pan".
ROFLMAO....
I wonder how long the bear that ate him was stoned as a result.....
They just finished making movie about that incident.
It's coming out very soon.
It was made by a famous director--I believe Werner Herzog is the director.
Called himself Timothy "Treadwell".
Then there was the sad tale of a Polish and Czech researcher researching two(male and female) Polar bears in the arctic(they brought no weapons). There was a frantic garbled message from them over the radio. When rescuers went to look for them they found the bears had attacked the camp...tracking them they found that the female bear had attacked and killed the polish researcher. As for the second attack...you guessed it...the Czech was in the male!
