Bart the Bear II, who was featured in such movies as 'Dr. Dolittle 2,' 'Into the Wild' and 'We Bought a Zoo,' has died. He was 21
and in commercials.
Bart and his sister, Honey Bump, were orphaned in the Wrangell Mountains of Alaska after their mother was killed by a hunter. A bear biologist found the starving cubs, who eventually wound up with Vital Ground co-founders Doug and Lynne Seus just as the original Big Bart, “the center of our clan,” was dying of cancer.
“At first, we called him Little Bart,” the Seuses said in a statement, “but when he reached 1,400 pounds, he became simply Bart the Bear II.” Said Lynne Seus: “Where the grizzly can walk, the Earth is healthy and whole. Bart was a grizzly who walked the Earth with intelligence, power, grace and purpose. All of us who knew him were made more whole by his incomparable spirit. We will miss Bart greatly, and his memory will inspire us as we work to ensure his massive footprint endures for future generations across the wild landscapes of grizzly country.
