Brody the trained bear pretends to be furious for his trainer, Jeff Watson. One of several bears used in the entertainment industry, Brody performs many commands including fake roars and fake maulings, the two most-requested tricks. Humans have long had a love-hate relationship with grizzly bears, categorizing them as either monsters or teddy bears. Their true nature is somewhere in between.
