Grizzly!
Narrated by Barry Paine Villain, trophy, monster!
When white settlers forged across North America, no creature in the new land caught their imagination so much as the great grizzly bear. It could outrun a man and fell him with a single blow of its paw. It excited terror, awe, even hatred, and it became a symbol of all that was wild in wilderness.
Today the tangled thread of man's relationship with the grizzly has taken another twist, for the bear is now a threatened species and man its reluctant steward.
