Customer Reviews of Nature:Walking With Giants the Grizzl

The naturalists (Charlie Russell and Maureen Enns) also stumble upon three orphaned cubs, and the story mostly concerns them - how Charlie and Maureen tried to raise them as cubs, not domesticate them, etc. And they are largely successful - probably too successful. The cubs are released to the wild, with no one knowing if they can or will survive. But when the naturalists return in the spring, the bears are alive and well, proving that humans can raise animals and return them to the "wild."

But perhaps not. In 2003 the bears that were raised by Charlie Russell were gone. He and Maureen searched for a while, but all they could find was a bear's gall bladder nailed to their cottage - a message from poachers. It is entirely possible, and most likely probable, that these bears, who had been "raised" by humans, thought they had nothing to fear when other humans approached - making them easy kills for the poachers.

This video is the only memory left of the three little bears.

Five stars.

An enlightening view of a misunderstood animal.
This was a wonderful video. It featured Charlie Russell and Maureen Enns as they studied the grizzly bears of Kamchatka. They got permission to raise a trio of orphaned bear cubs while they studied. They taught the bears how to survive and as much about being a grizzly bear as they could. Nobody thought it would work but it did. The couple thought that they would have trouble teaching the cubs what to eat but the cubs ended up showing them what they liked to eat without any problems.

The Kamchatka Penninsula is a beautiful setting. The bears of this area are seldom exposed to people. During the filming of this video the pair discovered something alarming. The bears in some of the remote areas started to run from them and avoid them. They discovered that poachers were beginning to come into the unspoiled wilderness to kill bears.

Charlie and Maureen were able to get close to many bears during the filming of this program. They would fly into remote areas using their ultralight plane. As long as they respected the bears they could get close and even interact with them. Near the end of the program Charlie actually played with one of them. No they didn't wrestle or anything but they did splash around and interact playfully with each other. They proved to me that these wonderful bears are not killers. This was truely a great program and I highly recommend it to all nature lovers.
