The harrowing final words of a man and his girlfriend, who were eaten alive by a bear, can be heard in chilling audio footage.
Timothy Treadwell, known as the ‘Grizzly Man,’ had a passion for bears, which led to his career in environmentalism and documentary filmmaking.
In particular, he focused on the grizzly bears of Alaska’s Katmai National Park.
Treadwell was said to be so comfortable around the creatures that he gave them names and considered them friends.
Yet tragically, his and his partner’s life would end in a horrific bear attack on October 5, 2003.
The committed filmmaker openly expressed his aversion to modern society – he found solace in the wilderness among bears rather than the hustle and bustle of towns and cities.
In the late 1980s, he spent 13 summers in Alaska, camping along the Katmai Coast, renowned for its abundant grizzly population.
