Grizzly Bears

Separated by only an electric fence, this boy scout can't help but be impressed by Whopper the trained bear. Whopper's trainer, Ruth LaBarge, gives commands from a distance, rewarding him with marshmallows as he completes commands. The bear was being shown as part of an educational event about bear safety.
