This promotional video for The Vital Ground Foundation was produced around the year 2000 and features the voice of Sir Anthony Hopkins. Hopkins starred in two films ("Legends of the Fall" and "The Edge") in which Bart The Bear appeared, Vital Ground's original grizzly ambassador. Over the course of working on these films, Hopkins developed a close friendship with Bart's trainers, Doug and Lynne Seus, as well as an abiding respect for grizzlies and the wild places they call home. For more information about Vital Ground or to support its work to protect habitat crucial to the Great Bear's survival, visit: www.vitalground.org.

  • "Grizzly Bear" is another name for Brown Bears, which include Kodiaks. The difference in size and appearance between Kodiaks and grizzlies that live in the lower 48 is greatly influenced by diet. Kodiaks have a rich fish-based protein diet, while interior/lower 48 grizzlies have a diet that is much more plant based (berries and grasses) and scavenger based (eatting the remains of winter killed ungulates and taking over wolf kills).
