Fans of games mixing adventure and reality TV, this program should challenge you. This Wednesday, the channel Discovery Chanel broadcasts in "prime-time" a program where will be measured, on one side of women and men, on the other ... three grizzlies.
It will not be fights with bare hands, we are not in ancient Rome. It will be more for the candidates to draw inspiration from the life of the bear in nature. On the program for this game called "Man vs. Bear": rolling logs, climbing trees, eating food or even ... pulling rope. Bear and humans will be subject to the same tests. And may the best win.

For those who are hungry for cold sweats, there will still be a test called "human prey". Humans will be placed in a steel sphere, which the bear will have to drop into a crater. The human will have to make sure not to fall into the crater, and push the ball in the opposite direction.
Two bears rescued children, a third born in captivity
Animal friends are probably wondering how bears are treated. First, they are not animals captured in the wild for the sole purpose of the game. Two of the bears were rescued by a ranger after their mother was shot by a poacher in Alaska. The third is born in captivity.
Tamed, bears are rewarded before, during and after each trial with food and treats. Producers ensure that animals are not coerced and even "happy". Of course, we do not have to approve. Neither to watch.
