Tooth & Claw: True Stories of Animal Attacks

In the second and final chapter of our series on Timothy Treadwell, Wes takes us through the circumstances that ultimately led to the horrific and violent demise of both Timothy and his partner Amie Huguenard. On Oct. 5, 2003, an Alaskan brown bear decided to kill and then feed on the famous bear whisperer and his companion. We break down the evidence from the attack to recreate what most likely happened that afternoon, and then we go over some of the different theories concerning the responsible bears. We also examine the genesis and growth of the love that Timothy and Amie had for each other, as well as the somewhat rocky relationship that Timothy had with the National Park Service that extended to the scientific community at large. It's an absolutely crazy closing chapter to our most requested story ever, and we hope you like it! Watch here: ~~ To advertise on the show, contact us! ~~ Tooth & Claw is brought to you by QCODE.

After 4 years of waiting, Wes finally takes us through our most requested story: the tragic story of Timothy Treadwell, the Grizzly Man, and Amie Huguenard, who met their end when they were killed by an Alaskan Brown Bear in 2003. In this episode, we learn about Timothy's upbringing, how his passion for bears had its genesis, and how he was viewed by both people in the bear world and the public at large. We follow him at both the idyllic Grizzly Sanctuary and the chaotic Grizzly Maze, where he would spend 13 summers living with huge brown bears. We also hear about his motivations for being there with the bears, some completely fabricated and others relateably genuine. Finally, before ending episode one, Wes takes us to another location on the Alaska coast, where in the year 2000, a man is killed by a coastal brown bear and many people in the bear world feel as though Timothy might be racing toward a similar end.  Watch here: The Grizzly Deaths of Timothy Treadwell and Amie Huguenard - Part 1 ~~ To advertise on the show, contact us! ~~ Tooth & Claw is brought to you by QCODE.

Wes sheds a a light on how things went wrong, and then goes over the best things to do should anyone find themselves in a similar situation.
