This Friday: The Story Behind the unReal Grizzly Chase

If you saw unReal, you'll remember a segment filmed with grizzly bear chasing mountain biker Tom van Steenbergen through the woods of British Columbia. This was a trained bear our film crew found through a company based in Vancouver that manages wild animals for film projects.

It took a few weeks to teach the bear to run behind a biker, but eventually they got the shot with help from a trainer dangling a piece of salmon off a stick just out of the camera’s frame. Tom's only job was to stay out in front.
