Everyone knows that a dog is a man’s best friend. But for Casey Anderson, his best friend is an 800 pound brown bear! Although most people wouldn’t go near a wild, and violent animal like that, Anderson did the opposite and actually approached the bear.
He saw the bear when it was just a wee little baby. The animal was lying next to his lifeless mother and Anderson thought the right thing to do was step in. He raised the bear, Brutus, and the two instantly became besties.
People call Anderson, ‘The Animal Magnet’, because animals always seem to find him. However with Brutus, the wildlife naturalist says that ‘it seems like we picked one another, sort of like friends on the playground.’
After Brutus was too big to live in their house, they built him his own sanctuary. The friendly bear actually gets visitors of all ages dropping by to learn more about grizzly bear biology and conservation.
Interesing.
