Timothy Treadwell: The Tragic Fate of the “Bear Whisperer”

Timothy Treadwell (born Timothy William Dexter; April 29, 1957 - October 5, 2003) was an American bear enthusiast, environmentalist, documentary filmmaker, and founder of the bear-protection organization Grizzly People. He lived among coastal brown bears or grizzlies (Ursus arctos) in Katmai National Park, Alaska for 13 summers. On October 5, 2003, Treadwell and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard were killed and almost fully eaten by a 28-year-old male bear, named "The Machine", whose stomach was later found to contain human remains and clothing.

Citiot. City people are just not acclimated to the outdoors. They tend to romanticize and anthropomorphicize animals because they have lived in a domesticated bubble their whole life. He had one hell of a painful reality check.

[@maidenmarian1]

Yes he was delusional. His biggest flaw that I saw from one watching was he was grandiose. He thought he could control the bears. I want to know how I can learn more about this great story. And the other two questions were how did younkearn about this, and what did they live on. Tim was delusional and I wonder was he at all mal -nourished? He spoke if having list a lot if weight. This could have added to his weakening mental condition. He is believing things that are not accurate. I'm so sorry. RIP to him and his girlfriend.

Tim became delusional. In the end, his insanity killed two people and two bears. Some people only learn the hard way.

[@rosannacellini2158]

I saw the documentary "Grizzly Man" a few times. Werner Hurtzog did an excellent docu on Tim Treadwell. Tim managed to survive 13 summers in the Grizzly Maze, which was a miracle in itself. He was really a good film maker, and brave, but a bit too obnoxious and delusional. Its a shame, he and Amy were horribly killed, but knew how dangerous it was, especially that time of year. Amy should have stayed home. RIP Tim And Amy. 😔🙏 + bears.🐻🐻

It's an even worse shame that he and his girlfriend had the end that they did. I love nature. I love hiking and spending time in the deep woods. But I e been my entire life not seeing a bear up close, and I'm totally fine with it staying that way!

[@tm13tube]

Too bad it ended this way for the people and bears. I’ve only read of one other attack but I think she survived. It was a female ranger. She was walking and inadvertently crossed between mama bear and cubs. It attacked biting off her arm and other injuries. It stopped and when she thought it was safe used her good arm to reach for her radio. The bear attacked again. As for this young man, I’m of mixed emotions. It’s admirable he wanted to protect the bears but he didn’t protect himself or his girlfriend. In general, humans usurp space and authority over others. We need to be more cognizant of scooting aside so there is room on a bench for another. He really was an interloper in the bear’s habitat.

[@free2bme640]

I was in the mountains with a friend and my sister many years ago. My sister stayed in the cabin one morning while my friend and I went to explore the area. It didn't take long before we came upon a bear, a huge bear! My fight or flight DNA and impulse immediately kicked in and I chose run! I ran back towards the cabin, looking back to ensure my friend was behind me. My friend wasn't as quick on the flight, she slowly backed up and then ran when the bear went on two legs and landed back on all four with the loudest grunt. For whatever reason, that bear didn't chase us. We were simply lucky. It wasn't until we were in the safety of the cabin that I realized how my fear completely took over my ability to feel "empathy" and I abandoned my friend in that moment. I felt horrible. She said she would have done the same thing. We were young, 16. I think if I were her, and saw him being mauled, I would have left him. I would have realized the fact that a frying plan is no match for a hungry grizzly bear. At least she might have had a chance, especially knowing that she would soon been rescued. Who knows what we would do in that situation. I only know of other stories where both people died, trying to rescue the other. He was careless. Yes bear spray is painful, but the bear will get over it. Having none, well who is going to feel the pain. This speaks volumes about his narcissistic tendency. I truly believe he didn't think this would ever happen. And yes, his weight loss definately played a role in his inability to defend himself, and his logical thinking. 20 pounds is a lot of weight to lose for a thinner man. I can't imagine the fear they both went through. I can't imagine the slow and agonizing death they knew was coming and nothing they could do was going to stop or change it. I'm hoping adrenaline kicked in and the pain was less excruciating. RIP and my condolences to both families.

I think you could do a LOT with this idea.

[@nagone11]

Nature can display an absolute lack of regard for a person when it comes to survival. People believe Treadwell didn't understand this, but I believe he did. Treadwell knew he was going to get killed at some point, but that wasn't going to deter him from his said mission. What I don't think he really took into account at the level that he should have, was the fact that his close companion could perish as well in his death cult mission. Treadwell was meant to die horribly like that, what he was doing was going to lead to that inevitable end, too bad his partner didn't fully estimate their inevitable end as well.

[@alq1967]

Situational awareness is key.

[@frankG335]

Steve Irwin was more careful than people realize, but he had a concussion the day he went in to film rays, and wasn't himself. He was irritable and obstinate and not listening. This wasn't like him. Since he was the boss, the others on the boat didn't insist on going back and him going to the hospital like they should have. Instead, they decided to just do some light filming of rays. He wasn't used to that, and his perceptions were off, as well as his mental state. In 20/20 hindsight, they should have stood up to him, knowing he wasn't himself because of his head injury. But he was SUPER careful normally and had rigid rules about how to be around snakes and cross, and always had multiple safety systems in place. He wasn't anything like this defiant Treadwell.

I've never heard the final audio before. I can think of no more a painful death than being mauled by a bear because they don't kill their prey before they eat it like like wolves or mountain lions. They simply hold their prey down and begin eating. You die of shock and blood loss. I feel so bad for both of them. What a nightmare. Many people see Timothy Treadwell as a fool, but the very fact that he lived safely amongst bears for 13 years is a testimony to his understanding of bears and how to interact with them. He only appears foolish to most people because of the inherent danger always present with apex predators around you. He accepted the reward-risk ratio and maybe even underestimated the risk because he was so successful for 13 years.

Ahhhhhh, the sounds of my people.... fuck around and find out people

[@brycehagen2831]

Just so everyone is aware this isn't the actual audio of the attack.

[@ruthmccurdy8623]

Ironic how one clip he is cursing the park rangers. When he’s being attacked. He’s begging for them to get out there. Poetic justice.

[@Snook_YT]

Very true! Subscribe for more!

[@patriciagarrett5526]

They are wild animals...the key word is "wild." Respect that and know that you are in their territory and don't push your luck.

[@british.scorpion]

Sad outcome, but what do you expect? He was way to overconfident taking his girlfriend to a place of danger. Foolish.

[@johnrogers9481]

Definitely not on his way to overconfident, he was overconfident!

[@giovannisocci4807]

Bear: "tasty,but noisy,mmmm crunchy,stop your whinning" Girl:"Play dead...fight back...play dead" Treadwell:"Bring a frying pan,I think we are as well as fried,goobyeeeeee,aaaaaargh". I am glad he died doing what he loved.

[@jimbryant7433]

Being out cast by woody made him snap!

[@Snook_YT]

wonder what would’ve happened if he got the acting role 🤔 lol, subscribe if you enjoyed!

[@jimbryant7433]

@@Snook_YT eaten by Jeffery dommer

[@imarriedabrkfsttaco3737]

They'd made it out after another successful season. Certain circumstances led to their decision to return late in the season and sadly that sealed their fate. IMO Treadwell should have had bear spray and electric fencing etc. for no other reason than he was responsible for the safety of his female companion. These effective deterrents are a necessity in case starving wild grizzly bears decide to do some starving wild grizzly bear ish. Better to have it and not need it,than need it and not have it. RIP.

[@lauriedelorme6733]

I think Timothy Treadwell lived his life to the Fullest. He loved all the animals, being out in the wild, becoming a celeb of sorts. If he had it to do over again knowing his demise, I think he would. THANK YOU T. TREADWELL for Photos and videos we never would have seen w/o you.

[@Snook_YT]

Ya, very true, people call him stupid but he lived life fuller and better than 99% of other people. He did what he loved all through his life.

[@Justmekpc]

His arrogance cost the life of his girlfriend and a bear who was just doing what comes naturally.

[@deondunrand104]

you hear him, you hear her, you hear the bear.. but who is the one breathing on the camera while they are getting eaten..

[@Snook_YT]

many say the audio tape is fake.. but some may say it’s real

[@hammersmashedspud4345]

Sounds like an early Burzum record Very sad, he was obviously touched but to convince that poor woman to go with him when she was clearly uncomfortable might give a hint to his true character

[@Snook_YT]

well, it was originally her choice to stay, he didn’t force her

[@jimc6687]

I have read that this tape is staged and the real tape......is off limits forever and in a vault of the park service (or destroyed). I am no expert, but a starving grizzly wouldn't take minutes to kill its prey and it's unlikely that such clear dialogue would occur between victims in such a horrendous attack. I am not downplaying the obvious horrific nature of what obviously occurred.

[@Snook_YT]

Well, bear mauling take a long time, anyway if you enjoyed subscribe!

[@micheltremblay-m2y]

althought very sad I have my doubt about the verification of the audiotape..?????

[@tatata1543]

It’s a fake.

[@realbudgiesmugglertwohatsb2611]

What a fitting way for the bear man to die offering himself for bear food now that's deadication

[@Snook_YT]

many times he said he wouldn’t be mad to end up as bear food

[@vanlalnghakavuite640]

In a reality, it was only his longing for achieving his individual wishes/desired,,,,so keeping up his endeavourance......!!! Selfishness, blind, very blind....!! : Respect others. Man is a Social Animal.

[@kmacksb]

You know that audio is fake, right? The actual audio has never been released.

[@joeshmoe7967]

That was skinny bear! I would be way more fearful of a skinny bear than a big fat one. Still easily powerful enough to knock him flat. Tim obviously had a few screws loose. If he was normal, he could have done a lot of this kind of 'work' and video documenting and lived a long life. He pushed it to the logical conclusion. Had he not died when he did, it is likely he still would have met his end with a bear eventually. The real tragedy is the girlfriend.

[@ЛюдмилаПлюшкина-г9г]

У этого фотографа чувство страха напрочь отсутствует перед медведями?!

[@Motshidi]

Pobres animales! Somos la especie más odiosa😠

[@andrewlopez7989]

Not the real audio

[@bellyboop8405]

I don't get why ppl hated him so much. In his mind, he was trying to do something good for the bears not hurt them. Bear getting killed wasn't his decision or something he wanted. The girlfriend? Nobody put a gun to her head.

[@kamauwikeepa7308]

To these animals you're breakfast, lunch or dinner. Next thing they're labeled, man eater and get shot because it was choosing its next dish.

[@robertocruztv6097]

Eventually a 🐻 was going to take him out

[@krislaight5781]

That’s haunting

[@Ride2Live420]

Treadwell did a lot to prevent people from going out there and doing what he did. The bears woke from hibernation and probably haven’t had any visitors since Treadwell. And girls are gonna think twice about going on wilderness dates from now on. Also I highly doubt that Tim, with no acting experience, even got an audition for Cheers, let alone lost the role of Woody to Woody.😂 (Girls, all guys will lie to get in your pants. I know it’s hard to believe but it’s true)

[@jorvikoutdoors]

Unfortunately that attack sound is fake, the original was destroyed years ago,

[@Snook_YT]

not destroyed, but it’s probably a pretty accurate copy of the original

[@sim5247]

Why they killed the bears? See no sense.

[@pnumekin3642]

Because once he has eaten a human the bear will have no hesitation with human and may start hunting human actively rather than just going for an opportunity. The bear would be a serious threat for the park rangers.

[@bornfuct]

Stupidity isn't a demon and you can't battle it ffs...

[@Snook_YT]

I wouldn’t call it stupidity, but ignorance

[@seanthomas7441]

This is what happens when ppl actually believe evaluation and u believe that humans are animals..and they honestly believe that they are connecting with these beast..
