[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 639575, member: 1246"] I remember The Edge....liked it. Old Bart was really ferocious looking in that one. Bart the Bear died peacefully surrounded by his family and friends at his home in Utah on May 10, 2000. Bart was born in a U.S. zoo on January 19, 1977. His destiny was not to live out his 23-1/2 years in the unchanging confinement of a zoo, but to see the world and become a beloved member of a human family. He came to Doug and Lynne Seus as a five-pound bundle and grew to 1,500 pounds, standing 9-1/2 feet tall. His long film career took him and his family from the Austrian/Italian Alps to the wilderness of Alaska, all over the U.S. and Canada, and finally to the stage of the 1998 Academy Awards. He loved to be in the spotlight and relished the applause and cheers of the film crew much more than he did his salmon and blueberries. Bart the Bear's legacy went far beyond his film career. He is the "spokesbear" for the Animal Cancer Center at Colorado State University, but his greatest role was as Ambassador of Vital Ground. Vital Ground has procured threatened wildlife habitat in Idaho, Montana and Alaska. Because of Bart's life in captivity, many of his wild brothers and sisters are able to roam free. Bart is survived by his human family: Doug, Lynne, Clint, Jed and Sausha, and his bear brother "Tank." His old swimming hole was filled with love and joy when the circle of life brought the Seuses two orphaned grizzly cubs. The cub's mother was shot 200 miles north of Anchorage. These babies miraculously survived alone for over two days when the Alaska Fish and Game rescued them. The little boy cub carries on Bart's legacy and is his namesake. The girl cub is called Honey-Bump Bear. These cubs will follow in Bart's giant footsteps to bring the wondrous spirit of the bear into many lives and hearts. [/QUOTE]
