Grizzly: Face to Face
S1 • E10 Apr 8, 2001 50m
Grizzly - a powerful predator and an animal to fear. But not for Jeff Turner, a Canadian photographer who has spent fifteen years getting face to face with bears. In this film he uses his unique skills to get closer than ever before, and uncovers the true nature of this magnificent beast. Few other people could stalk a hunting grizzly across the tundra of Alaska or film them underwater diving for fish. Jeff reveals an animal that is complex, intelligent and adaptable, one which is just as good at prizing barnacles from rocks and digging for clams, as it is pursuing elk and swimming for salmon.
