“Many people feel that bears are
unpredictable. Well, I think that bears feel the same way about us,
that we’re unpredictable.”
Dr. Larry Van Daele, wildlife biologist with
Alaska Fish and Game, has been studying Brown Bears for over 25
years. In this film series he shares with us his expertise and
experience of living with and around Brown Bears. In Dr. Van Daele
explains how the bears perceive humans and our actions and how we
can understand the bear by its actions and respond correctly.
“Consistency is the key to good bear-human relations.”
In Dr. Van Daele demonstrates the tools that
are available in the event that a situation arises where you may
need to assert your authority over the bear or defend yourself.
“All said, the best tool you have is what you have between your
ears.”
