The Kodiak Bear is a unique species of Grizzly, known to be the largest species of bear in the world, living along the Kodiak Archipelago of Southern Alaska. In this documentary, cinematographer Andreas journeys into the depths of the great Alaskan wilderness to find some of the largest grizzly bears in the US. In his expedition, he travels through some of Alaska's most remote areas with his friend Greg and learns more about how the native Alaskan population lives in some of the most inhospitable spots of the frigid US State.

The bears: ”Wow, look at that skinny, hairless bear! He better eat up or he won’t make it through the Winter.”
That guy’s about to end up like Timothy Treadwell if he’s not careful. These bears don’t play.

One thing about the nuts since you mentioned it - those nuts must be made of steel, because mine get all shriveled just watching those beasts.
i lived in Alaska for 18 years and have always been fascinated by the big bears. I have never seen such footage. The film maker has balls of steel and an amazing professional touch. Thank you for putting your life in danger to allow all of us to feel just a bit of what you went through.

There was a man who lived with the bears in Alaska. Talked a woman into living with them. Sure enough an old bear ate them yet previous yrs squeeters ate him. He video taped all these bears. I want to say Tim Treadwell, but memory fails his name but not the fact of the bears he warned us about is the 1 who did them in!

This Wildlife Photographers who filmed this Video did an outstanding piece of work. This young man Andreas and his partner have extensive knowledge of Brown Bears and Nerves of steel to be able get as close to these huge Brown Bears and photograph them. The Narrator did a fine job explaining and commenting on each bear they saw and filmed. This Documentary is one of the highest quality I have seen in both subject matter and Video Quality.

Great documentary! Huge gigantic beautiful bears !
30 years ago a friend told me of his stay on Kodiak Island. Fishing and hiking filled his "off hours" as a visiting engineer on several Navy projects there. On one of his many hikes through the old growth forest, he came upon a large evergreen tree and was surprised to see a bear's claw marks on the ancient tree's bark. It was not the size or depth of the bark removed by the bear's large claws, rather the elevation of the highest gouges. That's when the engineer in him caused him to measure the height of the marks, which was almost 20'. When he first told me the story I was skeptical; however, years later I have grown to disbelieve this story less and less.

This was such a beautiful and educational documentary! I couldn’t believe how close he got to the bears, the photography was excellent and I’m happy to know there’s a place where hardly any humans venture into so those bears don’t get hunted and there’s plenty of food so the mothers have up to four cubs! And the bears don’t have fear of humans. I’m scared of grizzlies but I think black bears are so cute, especially the mother with cubs and the way they climb trees!
Excellent cinematography. Gotten by getting so close to these amazing creatures. You're braver than me, my man. Well done.

I truly don't know how anyone could even think about shooting one of those beautiful animals with anything other than a camera. Plus, the fact that these animals are so peaceful if you do have one as a trophy, it only shows that you're a true coward needing to go after an animal that doesn't see you as a threat, so they'll not run making it easy for you to kill them. The thing to do, is to leave them alone to live in peace and just love the fact that they exist on this planet with us, and that we get to see videos like this one showing them at peace in nature.

You guys have big hearts and passion to travel the world to document these tremendous and mysterious bears! Incredible beauty our planet offers us with so much abundant life and balanced ecosystems.
Fabulous! Fabulous!
nature is so amazing.
Andreas and Greg are next level. Such bravery, such respect for the animals. Random question though, at around 27:30 the narrator states that early tribes learned from bears to eat the root of the Dwarf Willow for it's medicinal purposes. Is that true? I wonder what source they got that from
Just to visit one these amazing and beautiful places would be a dream come true; let alone be near these majestic animals.

It's a myth that Grizzly Bears can't climb trees. Though their weight makes it harder, they have been known to climb trees in pursuit of prey. If the branches are arranged in a ladder type arrangement it is made easier.
That thicket they came up through into Kodiak island and especially the tree that was used as a scratching post reminds me strongly of Treadwell's videos and I wonder if it's the same tree the 10 foot long Grizzly scratched itself on
This is real symbiosis, so peaceful coexistence between species.

There are an over population of most Kodiak & Grizzly bears in the world and why they allow natives to hunt them and use them for food and wares.
The study of zoology really educates scientists into animal behavior and why they act certain ways. In the way of how a zoologist may quietly and respectfully photograph a grizzly vs a hunter not knowing what to do and thinking its about to die and get torn up with all the wrong decisions. I personally studied zoology, it opens up curiosity to the birth of life and how we humans are not any different than animal behavior.

I would say that these bears are very lucky to live in this area. The closer the wild animals live to humans, the more animals are exposed to the risk of extinction. I pray that these magnificent and beautiful bears will continue to live happily there after 10, 50, 100 years. This is irrelevant to the theme of the video, but we sincerely hope that the Siberian tiger will live happily like the bears here. Anyway, thank you to the production team, the cameraman, and the brave man near the bear.

This is an unbelievable video. Spectacular. I always thought that it was in the nature of a grizzly or polar or brown bear to attack humans. "That's how they are", I thought. Here we see proof that I was wrong. Bears attacking humans is learned behavior. Bears attack us because they have learned that humans are there to hurt them. It is not in their nature; it is learned behavior. This is incredible.

Bears attack humans when they get hungry and desesperate, has nothing to do with learned behavior, most of them have never seen a human. If they have food and aren’t hungry they don’t usually attack humans and then again Grizzly bears are carnivores they feed off of other animals they kill, you think they wouldn’t feed of a human just because we’re humans?
