Grizzly bear activist couple camped with the deadly predators to prove they were friendly but ended up recording their own grisly deaths

Grizzly bears may look fuzzy and cute, but it’s worth remembering that they are deadly predators that can and will eat a person if hungry enough. In 2003, a couple of bear activists, Timothy Treadwell and his partner Amie Huguenard embarked on a camping trip in Alaska only to meet a terrible end at the paws of the very animal they were trying to advocate for.

Treadwell, 46, and Huguenard, 37, frequently embarked on trips where they would spend time with bears. Timothy was a recovering heroin addict but it seems he felt a sort of kinship with the bears, naming them, playing with them, and even believing he was at one with them according to an article from the Mirror.
