In Grizzly Confidential, author Kevin Grange—former paramedic and park ranger at Yellowstone and Grand Teton—comes face-to-face with North America’s most fearsome predator, Ursus Arctos.

His quest takes him from his home in the Tetons to an eerie, mist-shrouded island of gigantic bruins; from the Bear Center at Washington State University—where scientists believe the secrets of hibernation might help treat diabetes, heart disease, and obesity in humans—to the dark underbelly of for-profit wildlife parks, illegal animal trade and black markets hawking bear bile.

Along the way, he meets fascinating biologists and activists and discovers that everything he knew about grizzlies was wrong. Ultimately, his odyssey leads him to find answers on a remote corner of the Alaskan Peninsula where, for the last fifty years, humans have coexisted peacefully alongside the largest gathering of brown bears on the planet.

Grizzly Confidential is about bears but also the inspiring people who look after them. This is a fast-paced, gripping story that educates, entertains, and gives a sneak peek into the secret life of a well-known species. Part science, part travelogue, and a passionate plea for bear conservation, Grizzly Confidential is a lively account for anyone who loves the outdoors and learning about the natural world.

I have a bachelors degree in zoology and I got that degree because I’ve always loved studying genetics, biology, and animals, and grizzly bears would fall under my list of favorite beautiful beasts. I think I love them because I’m so terrified of them but this book was a very enjoyable ride.

It’s crazy to hear about all the different rumors about what triggers bear attacks over the years. I loved learning about how biologists and forest service personnel have struggled over the years in how to manage people as they try and interact with nature in the wild. This book made me fall in love with grizzly bears even more. I’ll be reading it again at some point.

What a fantastic deep-dive into the fur and fun of bears.

I enjoyed listening to this story. It is filled with facts about encounters with brown bears. I learned about dogs that are helpful for grizzlies, places to see grizzlies in the wild and be educated about them. Great job educating people about the brown bear!

Fabulous information

I am someone with no desire to interact with bears in anyway shape or form, considering them to be vicious beasts. By the end of this book so many of my preconceived ideas of bears, especially Grizzlies, had been changed entirely.

Makes you truly view Bears in a different light.

I enjoyed all that I learned about bears and why they do what they do. It brought back memories of seeing bears along the road in Canada, Yellow Stone, and Glacier.

The deeper aspects of our inter connectedness and dependents on bears, as well as our ability to communicate with them nonverbally.

What a great story of bears. Insights one can only gain by opening up their mind and embracing all aspects of the bear. Sad to hear about how poorly the USDA manages animals and the abuse they suffer at the hands of humans - surely there is a better way. What amazing stories of ranchers, hunters and conservationists working together to keep parts of America wild.

Amazing summary of Bears!

Great book on helping us understand the nature of grizzly bears, and how our own actions can keep us safe in their backyard. I appreciate the time it and passion it took to bring this book to those of us who had no idea.... Thank you Mr. Grange!

Excellent book. I learned a lot!!

Bears are what my nightmares are about. I liked learning more about them and how the author faced his fears. Sounds like a great thing to do with any fear you may have.
