(DeVoto) All grizzly bears are actually brown bears, having originated in Eastern Siberia- the Russian brown bear. “Grizzly” is just common usage in the lower 48, having first been used during the Lewis and Clark expedition when they referred to “a brown bear with grizzled appearance”. The term “Brown Bear” is the more correct and scientific use for the specie. The coastal version referred to in Alaska as brown bears (ursus arctos), most of whom would weigh in excess of 1000 pounds. Katmai National Park has about 3000 of the total 35,000 Alaskan grizzly bears (ursus arctos horribilis). Treadwell gained national celebrity status after his appearance Februon CBS’s David Letterman Show, promoting his 1997 book “Among Grizzlies: Living With Wild Bears in Alaska”, along with his close-up photographs and video footage, often showing him within arms reach of large brown bears or creeping on all fours towards a sow and her three cubs, talking in a soft, child like, sing song voice. The remains of Tim Treadwell, 46, a self proclaimed eco-warrior and photographer, along with girlfriend Amie Huguenard, 37, a physicians assistant, both of Malibu California were found Monday Octoin Katmai usgs topo map of kaflia bay, alaska, area of maulingNational Park and Preserve on the Alaska Peninsula after the air taxi pilot Willy Fulton, who had flown in to pick the couple up near Kaflia Bay, contacted the National Park Service and Alaska State Troopers to report that a brown bear was sitting on top of what appeared to be human remains near the camp.įor 13 summers Timothy Treadwell fled California for the wilds of Alaska, where he set his camp among some of the largest and most numerous brown bears left in North America. Originally published online OctoNews From Alaska Warning: What you are about to read is graphic in detail I hope Jewel Palovak as well as other family and friends of Tim and Amie can somehow find peace in their lives. If someone had told me back in October 2003 that I would be investigating and writing about this incident for several years, I would have laughed. Any mistakes are mine alone, and hopefully I will catch them sooner or later. Otherwise this would have sat in the archives gathering “electronic” dust. Habituating bears to the presence of man only increases the chance that harm will someday come to the bear, or another “man.”Ī special thanks to Rangers Joel Ellis and Rick McIntyre for their interest, their valuable insights, questions and encouragement. However, had we met, Tim and I would have no doubt had some heated discussions about how I thought he was doing more harm than good with his behavior in Alaska. There are no highways or skyscrapers in the world of the bear- but there are boundaries. The grizzly bear symbolizes wilderness and a simpler time.

An attempt will also be made to theorize what actually took place in camp that stormy night back in 2003 by piecing together bits and pieces of a six-minute audio recording left behind.Īs I researched this incident, I quickly realized that Tim and I had quite a bit in common and I totally understood his passion. Night Of The Grizzly chronicles the last remaining moments of Tim Treadwell’s and Amie Huguenard’s lives, the discovery and investigation revolving around their deaths and what led up to their tragic end. At the very least we can learn from someone else’s mistakes.
