Living with Grizzlies

About this episode

This episode explores how humans are adapting to the expanding range of grizzly bears in the West.

It’s not just human animals that migrate around the West. So do wildlife. We start this season learning about how humans are adapting to the expanding range of grizzly bears. We head out into the field with wildlife photographers, go toe-to-toe with a robo bear, pick apples to reduce food rewards, and meet a herd of cattle getting radio collared.
