The last bear

Article Abstract:

The work of Vitaly Nikolaenko, a 63-year old bear researcher, in Russia's Volcanoes of Kamchatka World Heritage Site is reported. He had two key bears that he called his 'model bear' partly because of their exemplary tolerance towards him and because he followed them recording every aspect of their life, one of which attacked and killed him in the mid-1990s after Vitaly followed him into the thicket of alders.
