[pct-l] BBC: The man who walks with bears

[David Ellzey]

I think that Rodgers was pretty specific that he is only referring to black bears, a better comparison would be researchers that have lived with wolf packs. These are a significant contrast to the dangers encountered when spending lot of time in close proximity to grizzlies.
