It could've been much worse

quote:

Investigators combing the nearby area around the campsite discover what was left of Timothy Treadwell. �His head connected to a small piece of (spine}�, and what has been described as a frozen grimace on his face. �His right arm and hand laying nearby with his wrist watch still attached�. (Fulton 2004, Ellis 2003, pg 5)

Meanwhile, searchers excavating the bear�s cache back in camp discover Amie Huguenard, who�s arm and fingers had been exposed to the daylight when investigators first entered the camp. Appearing as though she were peacefully asleep except that her body, like Tim�s, had been mostly eaten by the bear. (Ellis 2003, pg 5)

Video and still camera equipment, also found at the site, were later analyzed by Alaska State Troopers where it was discovered that the last remaining 6 minutes of video tape, which was found still in the camera bag, had captured the sounds of the attack.

The first sounds from the tape are from Amie, �she sounds surprised and asks if it�s still out there�. Apparently either Tim had asked Amie to turn the camera on, or Amie just turned it on out of reflex. (I don�t believe this latter scenario took place for one minute which I will discuss in detail below). At any rate, the attack was in progress when the camera was turned on.

The next voice is from Timothy as he screams �Get out here! I�m getting killed out here!� (Tim was wearing a remote microphone on his coverall�s). The sound of a tent zipper is then heard and the tent flap opening. Amie is heard screaming over the background sounds of rain hitting the tent, the wind, and other storm sounds all mixed in with the bear and Tim fighting to �Play dead!� Seconds pass before Amie yells again to �Play dead!� (Van Daele 2004)

Not surprisingly, with Amie yelling and screaming nearby, this seems to work and the bear breaks off the attack. (more on this below) A short conversation ensues as Amie and Tim try and determine if the bear is really gone. Being trained as a physician�s assistant, it is believed that Amie made her way to Tim, and from the sounds caught on tape, the bear returns and Amie is forced to back off. Tim then is clearly heard screaming that playing dead isn�t working and begs her to �hit the bear!� ( Van Daele 2005, Fallico 2004)

The sound of rain hitting the tent, along with wind muffle the sounds at this point. However, Amie is clearly heard yelling to �Fight back!� She is then heard screaming �Stop! Go Away! or possibly Run Away!� as the sound of �a frying pan is used to beat the top of the bears head and the sound of Tim moaning. (Fallico 2004)

It is believed that at this point in the attack, the bear let go of Tim�s head which the bear had in it�s mouth, and grabbed him somewhere in the upper leg area. The sound of Amie screaming very loudly, as Tim is clearly heard over the sounds of the storm, saying �Amie get away, get away, go away�. Tim knew he was going to die at this point and wanted to save Amie from the same fate. (Herzog, Fallico 2004)

Amie did not go away.

The audio portion of this video tape lasts roughly 6 minutes. During this period, Tim�s cries and pleadings can be heard for two-thirds of that time. He did not die quickly, unlike some traumatic death victims who were lucky enough to drift off into a shock induced dream state. Tim was obviously very aware and struggling desperately to survive during the last moments of his life.

Unlike what is portrayed in the movies, the bear is nearly silent. Only low growls and periodic grunts are heard which only adds to the horror of the scene. Sounds of the bear dragging Tim off, and the fading sounds of his scream�s indicate that Tim is being pulled and dragged into the brush and away from camp.

As the tape comes to an end, the sounds of Amie�s high-pitched screams rise to a new level, much like what has been described as �the sound of a predator call used by hunters to produce the distress cries of a small wounded animal which often attracts bears�. Biologist Larry Van Daele, for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game theorizes that Amie�s screams �may have prompted the bear to return and kill her.� ( Van Daele 2004 )

We can only envision the horror of what Amie had witnessed and heard. Hysterical and �paralyzed with fear, standing just outside of the tent until the bear returned and attacked her�. (I�m not convinced of this. More on this below too) (Readers Digest 2005)

I remember reading this was a self proclaimed expert who was warned, repeatedly, by local experts (e.g. park rangers, etc), "hey your friends move out at winter and this nasty fucker we know is an rear end in a top hat will gently caress you up if you don't leave for a bit."

Always listen to your guides. Even if they don't know the science behind everything, they know what the wildlife is actually like.

That's the guy.

Self proclaimed 'bear whisperer'.

quote:

This incident occurred due to " An unconventional person with unconventional behavior toward bears, camped in the middle of a very dangerous situation.". Such were the words of biologist Larry Van Daele in trying to make sense of this tragedy. Unconventional? Indeed.

Tim's foolish disregard for his own safety, and over confidence dealing with bears in the past, luck really, not to mention his mistake of placing anthropomorphic values on bears, and disregarding established federal guidelines when photographing and camping with brown bears contributed to both Tim and Amie's death. Grizzly bears are wild animals and should always be treated as such, wild and unpredictable. Not a pet, or lovable cuddly bear.

Tim would often tell listeners about the time he calmly defused a dangerous encounter with a bear, by talking softly to it. When the confrontation was over, he claimed to have laid down and napped next to the sleeping bear. Likewise, in a 1994 interview when he was asked whether he was ever afraid of the bears, he responded with saying "They wouldn't hurt me".
