The story of Brutus

the long version

"Casey Anderson, the host of National Geographic's 'Expedition Wild' met a month-old bear cub, whom he affectionately named Brutus, in a wildlife preserve in 2002. The cub was destined to remain in captivity or, more likely, to be euthanized, due to overpopulation at the preserve. Anderson just could not let that happen to little Brutus, who looked like 'a fuzzy Twinkie.' From the beginning, it was clear something special existed between the two...'The story of Brutus' proves that love and friendship know no bounds and that every care must be taken to protect one of nature's noblest creatures."
