SHANGRALA'S

WILD BEAR FARM!


      Welcome! Come on in. This is an unbelievable story of a man who is friendly with wild bears! Yes, that's right - WILD Bears! No. This guy isn't nuts. Least not as far as any one knows.
      There was a feature on him in one of the Anchorage Newspapers. He is retired and has been FEEDING bears in his cottages back yard for over 25 years. The bears just come and hang out and he believes them to be his friends.

WOW, good luck with that!

The Anchorage Daily News reported this about him:

      What goes on each summer at Vandergaw's remote homestead is so far from the ordinary as to be almost unbelievable. Visitors tell of him petting black and brown bears, playing with grizzly cubs while sows stand by, sitting on bears and teaching them tricks. His own photographs show even more. They capture him easing to within feet of breeding grizzlies and nursing an injured brown bear.
      A visiting photographer is amazed to see head-and-shoulder shots of breeding grizzlies taken with a wide-angle lens — photos that would require the photographer to be within feet, if not inches, of the bears.
      There are photos of Vandergaw playing with grizzly cubs while their mother lounges nearby. There are pictures of gangs of bears around his cabin, of individual bears in his cabin, and even close-ups of a grizzly's injured mouth.
      It might all seem unbelievable if not for the fact that his photos are confirmed, in effect, by those taken by other photographers and by the black bear wandering around the yard.

Here are a few stunning photos of him
and friends with his wild bears. Enjoy! :)
