Touched by a grizzly: bears are natural-born killers, right? One researcher begs to differ

Article Abstract:

Charlie Russell is a self-styled researcher without any backing from government wild life agency and is trying to prove that grizzlies and humans can co-exist without bloodshed. In Kamchatka, a peninsula off the eastern edge of Russia, Russell and his partner looked after three motherless bear cubs, teaching them to fish and swim and over time, the bears in that area seemed to accept them.
