Tackling this problem will help close the gap with our competitors.Part 8 Skimming and ScanningWithin the last wild lands of North
33、 America lives an animal that inspires respect and fear around the world. It is the grizzly bear (灰熊). Grizzlies (灰熊) can sprint thirty-five plus miles an hour, smell fish at nine or more miles, and drag a thousand-pound animal up steep mountains. The grizzly bear is one of a very few remaining on e
34、arth that can kill a human in physical combat. It can remove a human head with a single hit, or cause serious harm to a person in rapid order. Within the last wilderness areas where they live, they are the undisputed king of all beasts. I know this all very well. My name is Timothy Treadwell, and I
35、live with the wild grizzly.Timothy Treadwell (April 29, 1957-October 5, 2003), born Timothy Dexter, gave a warning here that we should all pay attention to. Animals, particularly the bears he knew well, can be deadly. As it turns out, Treadwell shouldve taken his own advice and respected the danger
36、these animals present. He shouldve kept his distance from them. If he had, he might be with us today.Who was Timothy Treadwell?Treadwell was an environmentalist and bear enthusiast who lived among the Coastal brown bears of Katmai National Park in Alaska for approximately 13 seasons. At the end of h
37、is thirteenth season in the park in 2003, he and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard (age 37) were killed and partially eaten by a brown bear. The attack was notable because of the unusual lifestyle of the victims, and the survival of an audio recording of the attack. Treadwells life, work, and death were
38、 the subject of the 2005 documentary film by Werner Herzog titled Grizzly Man.Life StoryBorn in Long Island, New York, much of what is known of Timothy Treadwells life is documented by Treadwell himself. Treadwell characterized himself as an actor, recovering alcoholic, former drug user, and hero of
39、 the wild. According to his personal accounts, he became involved with drugs after failing to gain the role won by Woody Harrelson in the TV comedy Cheers. Treadwell claimed to his parents that he was second-choice for the role, but this has not been independently verified.Interest in bearsAfter sev
40、eral visits to Alaska in the early 1990s, Treadwell became interested in bears and, in the last 5 years of his life, documented many of his experiences and interactions with bears via home video. Treadwell attributed his recovery from drug use to his relationship with bears.By 2001, Treadwell became
41、 notable enough to receive extensive media attention both on television and in environmental circles. Through his videos, he became known for attempting to create personal relationships with the bears he worked with.As an activist, he actively communicated with the public, including traveling throug
42、hout the United States to educate school children about bears, and appearing on the Discovery Channel, Late Show with David Letterman, and Dateline NBC to discuss his experiences. He was also a co-author, with Jewel Palovak, of the book Among Grizzlies: Living with Wild Bears in Alaska, where he des
43、cribed his adventures in Alaska.Treadwell, along with his friends Jewel Palovak, and former American Gladiator Jonathan Byrne founded Grizzly People, a political organization devoted to protecting bears and preserving their wilderness home. Despite the organizations name, Treadwell did not associate
44、 with grizzly bears, a term properly applied only to brown bears that live farther inland.DeathIn October 2003, Treadwell and his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, visited Katmai National Park in Alaska. Treadwell, who never carried any means of defense against bear attacks, chose to set his campsite near
45、 a stream where bears commonly feed in the fall. Treadwell was in the park later in the year than usual, at a time when bears fight to gain as much fat as possible before winter, and limited food supplies cause them to be more aggressive than in other months. It has been noted that food was scarce t
46、hat fall, and the bears were therefore more aggressive than usual.On October 6, 2003, Treadwell and Huguenards bodies were discovered by the Kodiak air taxi pilot who arrived at their campsite to pick them up from their trip. A large elderly male bear (tagged Bear 141) protecting the campsite was ki
47、lled by park police while they attempted to get the bodies. A second adolescent bear was killed a short time later after it charged the park police. It was later shown that the first animal had consumed parts of the couples remains. This bear is not believed to be one of the bears Treadwell usually
48、encountered, though this point is disputed.A video camera, with the lens cap in place, was recovered at the site. The video camera had been turned on at some point during the fatal attack, presumably by Huguenard, but the camera recorded only six minutes of audio before running out of tape. Treadwel
49、ls head, partial backbone, and left arm and hand still wearing his wrist watch were recovered at the scene. Huguenards partial body was found nearby somewhat buried in dirt.Methods and CriticismTreadwells methods were generally thought unsound by bear experts and public alike. He named many of the b
50、ears he encountered and often moved close enough to them that he could touch them and interact with them on a personal level.Many wildlife experts objected to his methods, believing that his attitude toward the bears was too brave, that he ignored well-known dangers of working with bears, and that h
51、e thought of them too much as people. Experts also believe that he endangered the animals by making them too comfortable with humans, thus increasing the likelihood of dangerous encounters in the future. His death by bear attack is seen by some as a natural conclusion of his methods of interacting w
52、ith bears.His critics also note that while Treadwell believed that he was protecting bears, control experts have stated that incidents of illegal hunting in the area were low and did not affect the population level. However, according to the Grizzly People organization he founded, five bears were ki
53、lled in the year after his death, while none had been killed while he was present in Katmai. This last point is disputed.Grizzly Man, the FilmIn 2005, director Werner Herzog released Grizzly Man, a documentary about Treadwells work with wildlife in Alaska, which aired on the Discovery Channel and is
54、 frequently rerun. It includes some of the film that Treadwell took, and also interviews with people who knew him, and his appearance on David Letterman. Grizzly Man is generally considered to have a critical take on Treadwell, his methods and his character; many people say that Grizzly Man made Tre
55、adwell look mentally unbalanced. However, Herzog does praise Treadwells films and pictures.1.
