It was the fateful day of October 5th,, that marked a departure from bear lover Timothy Treadwell’s usual routine…
Typically, he would have left Katmai by late September when most of the bears he was familiar with would start going into hibernation. However, in 2003, for reasons that to this day remain speculative, Treadwell decided to stay longer.
Some suggest he was trying to protect the bears from poachers; others propose that he wanted to observe the less familiar, more aggressive bears that descended from the mountains in search of food before winter.
Whatever the reason, Treadwell and his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, set up camp in the Grizzly Maze that fateful October day.

Are you telling me he messed with wild bears
What a nice guy to take his girlfriend on a lunch date where they are the meal. It was going to happen Eventually to bad it happened when his girlfriend tagged along… what n idiot
Timmy looks a lot like a young Tennessee Luke…hmmmmm.
Just remember.. bears dont wait for its prey to die before consuming it.. theyll start eating it while still alive
no wonder why he is dead. he is liek a bully to them.
It's tough to watch when I see people playing with bears. There wild animals, never play with them……."Oh they kind, they my friend"
Ironically Timothy probably saved thousands of bears and prevented many human attacks from his death. If he was never attacked there’d be numerous people who’d want to follow his methods and live closely with these bears or be more apt to not see them as a threat. The healthy fear of bears saves both humans but also bears – who aren’t killed from being too close to humans.
How ironic. A bear eats a man trying to protect them.
Yo arent Grizzlies the largest bear species next to Polar bears??? Man was wildin
R u gonna play the audio. Jeez
Sooo he was on coke and alcohol
Timothy Treadwell, I AM AN IDIOT'S poster boy.
Why wouldn't you play the real audio tape of them, maybe at the end of your narrating?
He became part of the ecosphere’s food chain.
Dude that’s why you carry a Gun with you !!!!!!!!!!
It was the nature of the bear to attack for food. But for what reasons the deceased went there in the first place? Glamour?
Bear ate good that night 🤤
A hero to some, food for others lmao what a special snowflake ❄ ❄ 😂😂
The bears probably were his friends ; I can imagine he and the bears did have a strong emotional bond with each other. Some more then others. Remember he was there for 13 summers. After that much time with them he was as much an expert on bears as anyone!
Wypipo
This is literally a testimonial of why we should stay away from wildlife… And I am just amazed at how some people are still trying to justify, to explain to us about the hibernation, about an unknown and new bear coming from the mountains… WTF! Timothy and his girlfriend were the unknown, new and intruders there… Science warns us about this and stop making God disappointed! It's just about basic biology and logic, it ain't that hard guys!
“His heart truly belong to grizzlies.” Literally!
Treadwell behaved extremely foolishly.
"On October 5, 2003, Treadwell and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard were killed and almost fully eaten by a 28-year-old male bear whose stomach was later found to contain human remains and clothing."
Sucks that they killed the Bear they always do as though that will bring them back, it's
vengeance. Some people die for less and younger than they did.
Nobody deserves to go the way he did. But Good Lord. This guy really had zero respect for nature. And his poor girlfriend.
Something that sticks with me with this tragedy… is that we know from footage how Timothy had died, how horrible it was, and that Aimee tried to help him. But unfortunately, poor Aimee did not get that. We know she was killed, but we don’t know how hard she fought, how long the fight ensued. Timothy was likely already gone by the time she was attacked, and the sheer fear and dread she must have felt is so tragic to me, with no one there to even try to help her. That is harrowing to me.
Not a predator a omnivore
Just a wild animal. Not being mean but they put themselves in that situation
Well people rejected him already and the grizzlies weren't judgemental. He would have been dead already 13 years earlier to his addictions but the bears gave him a sense of purpose and he had the best drug free, judgement free, rejection free, purposeful 13years of his life which are more than what most of you will ever get in their lives. It was worth it.
From my sources the bear said "you guys know im a killer right?"
It is so sad, many people think this whiney the Pooh is so friendly
They are brown bears. Katmai has coastal brown bears, not interior grizzlies. There is no such thing as coastal grizzlies.
Why did the bear have to be killed?
It's hard to watch knowing that one finger in the eye and he could have lived I know that he doesn't want to hurt the bears but it's life or death man even if you poke it in the eyes it will be fine and even if it isn't who cares
You know what is the worst part he could have lived if he used that frying pan or his arm to shove it into the bears mouth that would trigger a gag reflex which meant that the bear littelary couldn't have bitten him or if he bit the bears nose or punched it hard enough or the eyes
Caught on tape? Why not show the tape
He got his girl killed
"Go now and die in what way seems best to you." —Denethor
It was NEVER a matter of "if",…. just when. Apex predators are never your friend or buddy.
Poor grizzly bear, didn't deserve to die not like killing it would bring those 2 back
This is a good subject for philosophy. Sense of purpose and belonging
Belief is always bad. See how these high school teachers teach bad believing they're good teachers. Couples remain stuck in dead bond believing love is rigid. Belief gets people killed too.
He use to be an addict. His brain didn't work properly
