At first glance, this 1,240 pound grizzly bear looks like he could rip Doug apart with his claws.
And he can!
BUT, he would never do it, because he loves Doug, as Doug has been his care taker for his entire life.
Their unique friendship began in 1977 when Doug adopted Bart from a zoo and trained him to be in films.
Bart the bear has appeared in hundreds of films, including The Bear, The Great Outdoors, Legends of the Fall, Clan of the Cave Bear, and The Edge, and he has even appeared backstage at the Academy Awards.
The video below of Bart the beat and Doug is unbelievable because you would think that Bart is about to eat Doug alive, but he merely play bites his hands with his huge claws!
Doug says the key to training these animals is to maintain control, because as very intelligent animals they will test their limits and see what they can get away with.
Watch here:
Bart the bear sadly passed away in 2000, and in his honor Doug and his wife created a nonprofit conservation to protect habitat for wild grizzlies. Doug now raises two other bears.
