For some reason, that reminds me..there is some guy here in the United States who has raised this family of Grizzly bears. Grizzlies are among the largest of all land predators, and he raised two of them, a 1000+ lb boy and a girl slightly smaller. When he got them, they were the size of medium dogs, and now they are incredibly large. He wrestles with them, plays with them, trains them, and repeatedly sticks his head in their mouths. They had videotape of him when they were small and he did the same things, curiously, he put his head in their mouths a lot then too. He still seems to do it every few minutes. He says they are very intelligent, and spends 12 hours a day with them, saying the key is constant interaction. It is amazng to see this man roll around with these enormous creates. They seem to really think they are of the same species and quite gentle and cognizant of his weakness. Yet, I still think eventually he's going to get killed... Only in America!

Yes, Bad Kitty, indeed! I don't know how humans and bears bond but these bears are still adolescents. From what I have heard, when animals reach maturity they become rather anti-human! Unless they are tamed, domesticated animals such as dogs or cows. So I hope that this nice man doesn't get in trouble with his bears. Bears are one of those creatures that, in person, are so awesome, huge and ferocious and powerful. The polar bear exhibit at the San Diego zoo is just incredible, you have this giant white monster swimming adn cavorting in a pool and playing with his toys, only inches away from you. Bears are strange, having elements of man and dog in their physique and movements! But I heard that elephants are actually the most dangerous of all "kept" creatures, and they kill several handlers a year, because of a somewhat capricious nature and their incredible size!
