Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director David Lickley also helmed IMAX nature docs about whales and orangutans — dude really said 'I'll take ALL the large mammals, thanks.'
The McNeil River State Game Sanctuary featured here has since faced repeated political threats to end its bear protection status, making this footage increasingly precious.
