Timothy Treadwell spent 13 summers living with grizzly bears in remote Alaska. He loved them and gave them cute pet names like Mr. Chocolate. These wild animals were anything but cute.

He claimed he was an “accepted wild animal and brother to these bears.” The grizzlies begged to differ. They tolerated his presence but ultimately killed him.
