The Man Who Walks with Bears

Animal Planet

The Man Who Walks with Bears follows renowned wildlife biologist Dr. Lynn Rogers, whose groundbreaking research in northern Minnesota transformed our understanding of black bears. Using trust-based observation instead of tranquilizers or tracking collars, Rogers forged unprecedented bonds with wild bears, documenting their intelligence, family bonds, and gentle nature. The film made television history by featuring the first-ever live stream inside a bear’s hibernation den, allowing viewers to witness the hidden world of these magnificent animals up close.
