800-pound Best Friend

[SketchBerry]

I live in Yellowstone for 6 months of the year. I'm fascinated and terrified at the same time. This guy has some serious love for the furry creatures. I do also, but am lacking testicles.

[IdarkphoenixI]

"do not try this at home"

Oh really, you mean trying to hop onto the back of a grizzly is a bad idea?

[JUN34U]

[goodgoodgoodful]

What a lucky bear. He will have a handy nice scratch on skin areas other bear can only dream of (other bears often need to "dance" their back against a tree). And I bet this guy have kinda cool scent.

[MedoSrecko]

Oh Gosh ... such a beautiful story ... a have tears in my eyes right now ... thank you so much for sharing ... I can just wish that our bear Lucky can some day live like those grizzlies are .. that is just beautiful ...

[APotatoWithAGun]

This is so cool but scary. I just expect Brutus to maul his face off.

[arachnidman8eyes]

i want a fucking grizzly bear thumbs up if u agree

[Kakashisd]

@arachnidman8eyes

stop hunting than..

[verticalhurt]

@arachnidman8eyes I agree that you should have a grizzly bear. Have someone take a before video from when you are looking for one. And a video of the aftermath and you saying you made a mistake as you are picking up your arms and legs from the ground :)

[RealBrosef]

Epic grizzly riding holy shit!

[Galasholet]

[blank3412]

@HaxoRobin Oh yea where

[HaxoRobin]

@blank3412 I heard it on Nat Geo Wild a few times.. I shouldn't have stated my comment like i did tho.. I should've said : "I think i've seen another video of this bear turning on him"

[svtcontour]

that is possibly one of the most amazing things i've seen!

[ruckaisawesome]

i want a bear...

[icedragonSg]

fucking scary. That thing can rip your head off.

[cellarjudge]

best friend~ ^__^

[crazyviolent69]

you sir are a lucky man

[RacerX1111]

real life Max LVL Druid

[MadeInOregon27]

He's the best! I <3 him, Great vid thanks :)

[SupremeAmerican]

has he been killed yet?

[Notsuredomus]

To the guy who said that the bear will one day kill him. Under most circumstances I would agree with that statement. A wild animal should not be domesticated. If a animal can be rescued and rehabilitated without taking away its wild instincts and fear of humans it should be. and certain species are more likely to turn on there owners aka non-pack animal predators. However every animal is different and any species will have those whose nature defy instict and genetic makeup.

[idricool]

@Notsuredomus pack animal predators (wolf) can also turn on their "owners". It happened to a lady who had half wolves.

[Notsuredomus]

Awesome... I havnt seen a handler work that well well with a grizzley since the world famous hollywood actor Bart passed away. Bart was a gentle heart wrapped in a big scary looking wrapper. I like the way you interact with your buddy most supposed animal handlers are sadistic bastards playing master to a frightened victimized creature. That bear loves you and his trust is obvious by his posture and facial expressions. Keep it Wild brother!

[Dimeinurear]

My dream of having a genuine bear hug is so close.

Now my question is: will Brutus let me?

[superwhiz88]

keeping an bear ..cost at least 50 bucks just for food per day along

[Siojos]

Settle down people, no need to be so aggressive. It's only a man with a bear!

[Mspandora1969]

I love Brutus! awesome training

[Mspandora1969]

I love this guy!

[AtlanticSpamHammer]

2:42 looks really fake, maybe it's just me

[antionidept]

he's so cute when he's 5 months old

[jonesbones638]

Zoom the fuck out and show all the people armed with weapons of mass destruction waiting for that moment the bear decides its time to rip your stupid mother fucking head off...

[BenProductions1000]

He really is good at animals :D i need him to help teach me how to befriend a hedgehog!

[GregKoziol]

Brutus needs a wife and kids!! find him a wife!!

[ACEMIDGE07]

@GregKoziol fIND HIM A WIFE? The bear was his best man, that's means he's married you fucking tard.

[cplkickass]

@ACEMIDGE07 are you fucking dumb? that guy said the bear needs a wife. you fucking tard.

[donbalauro]

@ddb01 You are so fuckin' right. :))

[bida1]

A truly wonderful story... I've just watched this documentary on NG channel an hour ago.

[GODDAMNSASQUATCH]

I wish bears and sasquatches were domesticated. The grizzly i would use for transportation, and the sasquatch would be my weed smoking buddy.

[sathernut]

@Cla900 hahaha yep you watched a documentary. you are now an expert. please video tape yourself going to feed a grizzly bear. Results may vary.

[o0OMarijuanaO0o]

Didnt this guy see the film grizzly bear? lol

[tomnicholson13]

UNREAL.

[Villaking1337]

He got an Achievement :C he got the damn Dalaran bear >:C

[invadernik]

so dam adorable as a cub

[zeroclod]

He is so lucky. Man I would fucking love to ride a bear!

[scrapkillax2]

I'm jealous as fuck. :\

[CondorRidge]

How many of us would love to be able to do this! Walk with the animals, talk with the animals. There's something deep within us humans that longs to get back to Eden.

[VictorCleaner88]

1. very nice

2. 27 idiots looked this video

[BigBangBaty]

Dammn! I want a bear!

[CottageLife100]

I wonder how his wife feels about all this time he spends with the bear, not to mention the best man thing haha

[Electronaut76]

Brutus was his best man at his marriage? I wonder where brutus kept the rings... O_o

[pokemonprincess1988]

what a beautiful story. this man has a wonderful gift with animals.

[kakoocachoo]

Brutus at 5 months :]

[55DJL]

I first saw this programme as a bit of a joke at first when I saw the advert, what with all the 'best man' thing, but now I love this programme and love Casey and Brutus, they both lead such wonderful lives and I hope it stays that way :)

[superjam18]

When God renovates the earth again and cleanses it from all sin. Man and Animal will be able to be this close again like depicted here and in othervideos here on youtube

[Kakashisd]

@superjam18

Yes,i think god created the animals for our love,but,because of the sin,the things changed dramaticaly..

i believe that the animals would become our friend,and shall be no death or pain..

"The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them" Isaiah 11:6

[Clyde200k]

imagine how sad he wood b if brutus died

[silvanski]

Love this program

[Langtry613]

wow!! thats pretty intense!!

[footballplayr96]

I want a pet bear too!!!!

[sweetleaf6]

[somethinglacking1]

"i love Brutus so much, we even sleep together"... *wife walks in*

[a121509]

@somethinglacking1

Have you seen his wife? Hot damn.

[jeaniepederson]

And then he rode his grizzly bear off into the sunset... :P

[DogOfPanic]

lvl 70 epic amani bear mount

[fuuror]

Damn, that is the most epic wildlife biologist ever. Imagine riding to work on a grizzly....O_O

[Simsfangirl255]

Wow. I wish everyone loved and respected nature and animals at least half as much as he does.

[PuppetDani]

chech out shawn ellis the wolfman.

[deshev2]

how thoes he feed it :O

[abbe133]

I'm just gonna say one thing:

He rode on a freakin grizzly bear.

RESPECT!

[Ziani7777]

he is stupid , one day the bear will attack him. Then i will laugh .

[keldfc]

@Ziani7777 I would not laugh, but if it happened, he would not be the first to be killed by his own bear-friend! :-(

[316greg]

@Ziani7777 The bear is as domesticated as a dog he won't attack him. Bears that attack and kill people do so because people invade their space in the wild. He's had Brutus for 8 years and never been attacked he feeds him he is all Brutus knows.

[shaoiliu]

im jealous....stupid dog i have...wanna trade?

[GL0CK19onboard]

very cool. thx

[BabyKevUK]

23 dislikes ? u have got some misrable basterds out there lol

[cifeso]

[karlalana]

[xHotdong]

Lol. Do not try this at home.

[shqk20010]

*Brutus mauls the guy*

"Et tu, Brute?"

[uwontknow55]

@lostkid19 And he will probably let the bear bite your head off

[nordhorny]

I'll have a polar bear....larger, taller, stronger and heavier.

[HayasaTenma]

no fucking way

[cjsoccer09]

I want a fuckin' bear now!! I was thinking about a german shepherd but this thing would make a way more badass guard"bear"

[guyNbluejeans]

Wow! Really cool!

[zepass]

HOLY JESUS!

[fastmaster2]

ohhh crockiiiiiiii

[KorbenNightfire]

*Casey is not an Extremist*

Casey has built a Grizzly bear preserve in the mountain pass out side Bozeman Montana. The preserve is home to rescued domesticated Grizzlies that are dependent on people and can't survive in the wild because they lack the skills. Brutus and his brother where given to Casey after birth from a zoo and others were once pets. The preserve teaches people how to be safe in bear country and always reminds people that Grizzlies are dangerous and not to be taken lightly.

[Trudelgy]

haha that was great i wish i had a pet bear i would love him forever and ever and ever and ever and take care of him omg i want one!

[Veerwhil]

Holy shit bear cavalry

[ivannunez971]

i wanna bear hug

[Hunkola]

This stupid faggot will probably get eaten by his pet grizzly........just like Timothy Treadwell.......BEARS ARE WILD ANIMALS.......THEY SHOULD NOT BE PETS !!

[KorbenNightfire]

@Hunkola Ok, I live in Montana get your facts before comparing. Timothy was an extremist that went out into the woods "bear territory" and stayed in a tent surround by wild bears that saw him as an intruder or easy meal because wild bears are opportunists that eat whatever temps them. Casey does not live in the wild with bears, but rescued domesticated bears that have depended on people all their lives and can't survive in the wild. Casey raised some from birth and has a family bond with them.

[Hunkola]

@KorbenNightfire -- You sound rather ignorant of bear behavior. Sure, Casey raises grizzlies but that doesnt mean they forgot how to be wild animals. Nature spent millions of years of evolution giving bears the instinct to eat flesh when they get a chance because it may mean life or death come winter time. Bears are not puppy dogs, and I'm sure one of them will turn Casey into a tasty dinner once the opportunity arises. Just ask Tim Treadwell. Please learn something about nature, OK?

[Feralfrenzy28]

that....was....amazing.....I'v­e loved bears since I was a kid. Such beautiful creatures.

[Gman256]

Watch a string ray pierce this guy's heart or something. People like the crocodile hunter always get what's coming to them.

[goldenagepianist]

as much I want to love this video, I feel really sad for the bear; he's living as a human pet instead a free wild animal, it's only against the nature, and don't give me the speech how "happy he looked playing with humans unless you are a bear or have talked to him personally. It is only unfortunate that he has to live in this condition.

[Nano53535]

@goldenagepianist

Would you rather be killed when your a week or two old or be raised "unnatural"?

[goldenagepianist]

@Nano53535 I wouldn't know the answer to that question since I wasn't born a Grizzly.

[Nano53535]

@goldenagepianist

I didnt say as a grizzly....read my last comment...

[Maloner78]

This might be the coolest thing I have ever seen, this definately rivals the people who had the pet lion and then released it into Africa only to find it a year later

[koreboms1993]

Oh My God, that last 4 seconds made me fall in love with grizzlys.

[BloodyBBQ]

I want a freakin Grizzly!!!!!!

[crazenate]

This guy's crazy. He probably will get "Grizzly Man"ned

[ExoticDreams]

@crazenate How? He's raised him since birth and has the proper food and environment for the bear. Brutus views him as a parent, not just his keeper. He's not a regular owner who lives in a cramped apartment and just keeps an exotic animal for kicks. He truly respects both domesticated and wild animals.

[conraddavies]

i will try this at home

[XxNolyxX]

amazing guy and amazing bear...but still a wild animal

[ddb01]

what a jerk. "dont try this at home kids" as he ride away on a grizzly bear. HOW COULD I NOT WANT TO DO THAT

[shagrath37]

@ddb01 haha... yeah, that's right man !

[funkyflights]

@ddb01

He means with a wild Grizzly...... lol... I don't think the ride would last very long... BUT if you had one from it's youth yeah you could bond with it....

[sexyloser]

@ddb01 rofl

[bannedbyMusloons]

@ddb01: It's the terran version of riding an Ikran I suppose.

[tianos24]

@ddb01 SO WHAT?

[AEROblivion]

all oh that was awesome, but i thot the whole "best man" thing was kinda over the top hahaha, at least for me =)

[RTHounds]

He's riding a big furry tractor!...(anchorman)

[geiuy]

even my best friend weighs around 700 pounds,he's one fat fuck

[halcyon0830]

Please don't get drunk together with that Bear.

Brutus and his owners are both awesome individuals.

[SummaLuvv]

save a horse, ride a grizzly!

hahahahah... i had to say it. :P

[mutiilation]

that guy is going to die one of these days
