The Grizzly Man Diaries

"The Grizzly Man Diaries" will premiere on the AnimaI Planet channel on 22 August 2008. This series will draw upon the hundreds of hours of archived footage, private pages from Timothy Treadwell's diaries and more than 10,000 still photographs from the decade before his death, ultimately telling the story he truly wanted to before his untimely death from the very creatures he loved so deeply.

The footage and stories within The Grizzly Man Diaries present astonishing revelations about grizzly behavior and survival - all while showcasing the personalities of the individual bears as well as Treadwell's passion and unique connection with them. The series truly tells the story that Treadwell hoped to share - featuring "his" bears as genuine creatures to be respected, admired, loved, heralded and amazed by, not as the wild, strong and dangerous animals that killed him.

Tim who was born Timothy Dexter was mauled to death by a Grizzly Bear on 6 October 2003 in Katmai National Park in Alaska.
