I don't know if this post is on the right place . Admins feel free to move it...
On Tuesday a documentary started in TV about "our swiss bear-men" David Bittner.
http://www.videoportal.sf.tv/video?id=7 ... 24772b635e
Since a few years he lives in Summer-time for 2-3 months with the bears in Alaska/Katmai.
Unfortunately most of the conversations are in swiss-german, but I think the pictures are impressive all the same .
