Joel Sartore''s most memorable eye to eye grizzly bear
experience was when he was charged by a mama bear protecting her
cubs near Brooks Falls, Alaska. They say not to run if a grizzly
charges you. Joel didn''t. His feet were frozen to the ground. When
the mama ambled off to collect her cubs a mere ten seconds later,
Joel sat where he had stood. He wondered if he''d survive this
assignment - photographing grizzly bears for the National
Geographic Magazine . Well, he did, and his knowledge of bears and
his incredible photographic collection of them grew, both to be
featured in Face to Face with Grizzlies . He contrasts the ancient
range of grizzlies when they used to roam down as far as Mexico
with their current status, mostly in Yellowstone and Glacier
National Parks. He looks at the future of grizzly bears - and how
much that future depends on people.
