The BEARst Of Friends: My Bruin Buddy
January 14th, 2011
Casey Anderson, naturalist and perhaps madman, lives with his unique pet: Brutus, the 800 pound grizzly bear! And before you ask- the image below is 100% Photoshop free according to National Geographic.
Daily Mail.
To some, living with a grizzly bear seems like a very poor idea. But, in all fairness, Anderson has known Brutus for seven years, from the time he was just a cub. Today, the two are so close that the enormous bear frequently shares a kiss with his human friend and even acted as best bear at Casey’s wedding (no reports exist as to what Brutus lined up for the bachelor party). When he isn’t hottubbing with his bear buddy, Casey spends much of his time using his relationship with Brutus to underscore the importance of preserving bears’ natural habitats.
Read Anderson’s thoughtful comments on Timothy Treadwell aka “Grizzly Man” at National Geographic and see some astounding photos at the Daily Mail. Thanks to AB.

I’m having trouble coming to terms with that first picture’s authenticity.

“And while most cynics might argue the pictures are the result of Photoshop technology, Anderson and National Geographic have vouched for their authenticity.”

Be sure to catch next month’s post where Brutus remarks on how much Casey tastes like chicken.
OK I’ll regret this response if it really happens but this looks like madness to me.
