Although not all bears are regarded as dangerous, you should stay away from grizzlies. They are so intimidating due to their enormous size and powerful build.

They are omnivores by nature, which means they may consume both plant and animal matter. In addition, an adult bear can live for 25 years and weigh between 800 and 1,000 pounds.

Despite their enormous size, they are excellent sprinters and marathon runners, clocking up to 30 miles per hour. Grizzlies, unlike other bears, have brown fur, but the tips of their coats can be white. 

So, imagine having a grizzly bear as a best friend. Believe it or not, Casey Anderson’s best friend is Brutus, an 800-pound grizzly bear.

From the moment Brutus was a two-week-old cub, the renowned naturalist and his animal companion have been inseparable. After rescuing the bear from an overpopulated animal park, Casey raised the bear with a lot of care, love, and respect. 

The shelter Casey established for Brutus the bear allows him to live in freedom as a grizzly bear should. Brutus is not dangerous to be around because he is at ease around people, but Casey is still the only one who can physically interact with Brutus.

Because he anticipates the bear’s every action, he never needs to worry about being attacked by it.

The apex predators in the food chain are grizzly bears, as they enjoy eating leaves, berries, fruits, roots, and nuts. They can also eat small mammals like rodents or moose.

They can be lethal when roused, particularly if they believe a monster is going to assault their young ones. But then, Brutus seems friendly. 

Lick, Lick!

Being around Brutus is not dangerous because he is comfortable around people

It's the wedding vibe, everyone!

Brutus enjoys sleeping, playing with other grizzly bears, eating marshmallows and Twinkies, and receiving attention from others. Not to mention that he "flirts" with the ladies.

He is incredibly brilliant and funny, and he always does something absurd to make people laugh.

The bear is typically a large animal, and they weigh more than humans do. They can also swim well and run quickly.

They have massive claws and fangs and can outrun us. Because of their size and long, straight claws, grizzly bears rarely climb trees.

And clearly, it looks delicious

Grizzly bears have a variety of advantages as they are extremely smart and have great memories. Grizzlies have an acute sense of smell, even better than a hound dog, and can locate food from considerable distances.

Actually, Casey and Brutus have a show of their own on National Geographic called "Expedition Grizzly," and you might want to check it out right here.
