Casually chilling with grizzly bears even today feels ludicrous, honestly a bit ridiculous. Whether you boil it down to stupidity, incompetence, or a “lack of respect” is something I still can’t quite pin down. In the presence of one of the most dangerous apex predators, Timothy Treadwell is a fascinating figure. There’s a kind of delusion there, sure, but he also oozes character which isn’t me advocating or even agreeing with what he was doing, if you can even call it a “hobby” that is.
