BEARY SMART
Anderson says it was easy to teach a smart bear like Brutus to act in films, commercials and educational spots. And he's a student of Brutus's, too: The bear gave Anderson lessons in bear behavior, gestures, needs, emotions and moods that most biologists could only dream about. "I've learned integral levels of body language that I only could learn by living with him," Anderson says. "It has helped me out there in the field."
Casey Anderson's special Expedition Grizzly re-airs on National Geographic May 16 at 8PM ET/PT. To read more about the unique duo, read our story. And, catch Casey and Brutus Skyping with Oprah Winfrey on Friday's show!
