Timothy Treadwell (aka Grizzly Man) was renowned for his extremely close relationships with the brown bears in Katmai National Park. He spent 13 summers living amongst the bears, and in his last 5 years got over 100 hours of footage of the bears and red foxes in the park. But his close relationship with the bears ultimately led to a fatal attack on him and his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard.
