I saw one of this guy's documentaries once and I knew he wouldn't last long if he kept hanging out with wild grizzlies like that. He got his girlfriend killed, too.

The bears that killed him weren't even hungry. They just really like Irony.

More Comedy Gold:

"Once he was filmed crawling along the ground singing as he approached a sow and two cubs."

"he decided to devote himself to saving grizzlies after a drug overdose"

"those experiences inspired him to give up drugs, study bears and establish a nonprofit bear-appreciation group, called Grizzly People."

This was Mother Nature's warmup run before taking on the big boy himself... Steve Irwin.

“At best he’s misguided,” Deb Liggett, superintendent at Katmai, told the Anchorage Daily News in 2001. “At worst he’s dangerous. If Timothy models unsafe behavior, that ultimately puts bears and other visitors at risk.”

He was responsible for the deaths of two of his bear brothers; the one that mauled him and the 3-year old that came to check out the scene of the crime.

Irwin at least has some survival instincts. He knows when to run like hell. It will be hella funny when he finally gets killed though. Hopefully they will make it into a PPV special.

I saw his documetaries too. He said he would never need or use a gun. Bet he wished he did now.
