I want to introduce you to one of the key
role players in this year's expedition.
:17:07
The bear's name is The Grinch.
:17:09
The Grinch has come on
to be one of the more
:17:12
frequent bears
here in the Grizzly Maze.
:17:15
The Grinch is a female
of about five years of age.
:17:18
Oh, hi, Grinch. Hi.
:17:21
And she has kind of
an aggressive attitude.
:17:23
Hi.
:17:25
If I turn around too much, she'll bite me.
It's okay. Hi. How are you?
:17:30
How are you?
:17:36
Don't you do that.
Don't you do that!
:17:40
Back off!
:17:49
Don't do it.
:17:51
It's okay. I love you.
:17:53
I love you. I love you.
I love you.
:17:57
I love you. I'm sorry.
:18:00
I'm Sam Egli.
:18:02
I was called out as a helicopter pilot
:18:05
to assist on the cleanup after
the Treadwell tragedy of last winter.
:18:10
I was in there the morning
:18:12
the Fish and Game officers
were there examining
:18:16
the bear that had done
the killing.
:18:21
The bear was all cut open.
:18:22
It was full of people.
It was full of clothing. It was...
:18:27
We hauled away
four garbage bags of people
:18:31
out of that bear.
:18:36
Treadwell was, I think,
:18:39
meaning well, trying to do things
:18:41
to help the resource of the bears.
:18:45
But to me
he was acting like...
:18:49
like he was working with people
:18:53
wearing bear costumes out there
instead of wild animals.
:18:58
Those bears are big
and ferocious,
