Brutus, also called Brutus the Bear (January 17, 2002 – February 2, 2021), was a grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) who was adopted as a newborn cub by the naturalist Casey Anderson, star of the National Geographic documentary Expedition Grizzly.[1]
Life
editBrutus was born in January 2002. He spent his first months in a six-foot square steel box that was his mother's cage at a captive bear facility. Brutus lived at Montana Grizzly Encounter Rescue and Educational Sanctuary.[2]
Brutus appeared frequently on television with Casey Anderson, including regular appearances as Anderson's "co-host" on the Nat Geo/Nat Geo WILD series. He also appeared in two films, Iron Ridge (2008) and Pretty Ugly People (2008), as well as in commercials and in live educational shows across America.[citation needed]
