    Episode 2: Outcry

    From her habit of snacking on goose eggs at a nearby lake, to cautiously navigating throngs of camera-wielding tourists, Bear 148 was well known and well loved in the Bow Valley.

    Episode 3: Human footprint

    Rumours and conspiracy theories swirl around the decision to move Bear 148 out of her home range, leading to her death just two months later.

    Episode 6: Bear scare

    For more than half a century people have been told to stay away from bears, that bears are inherently dangerous and to be avoided or killed. Can we overcome decades of bear scare to find a new way to think about and react to grizzlies?
