Biography

Bart the Bear II, a towering giant of a creature, measuring an astonishing 8.5 feet in height, and possessing a substantial physique, weighing a whopping 1,110 pounds, has left an indelible mark on the world of wildlife, his remarkable physical presence and impressive acting credentials serving as a testament to his enduring influence.

Little Bart, a remarkable Alaskan brown bear, stands out only in contrast to his renowned predecessor, Bart the Bear, who loomed over him by a significant foot and boasted a remarkable weight differential of 400 pounds during his prime.

In a heartwarming tale of survival and second chances, a wee cub, Bart II, and his sister, Honey Bump, were plucked from the wilds of Alaska when orphaned, their fate hanging precariously in the balance.

Luckily, they were scooped up and whisked away to the esteemed animal trainers, Doug and Lynne Seus, who had previously propelled the legendary Bart the Bear to global superstardom.

With their impressive expertise and passion for wildlife conservation, the Seus duo had established The Vital Ground Foundation in 1990, a pioneering organization dedicated to safeguarding the habitats of Bart's wild grizzly cousins.

It was here, in their Utah base, that Bart II and Honey Bump would find a new lease on life, surrounded by the loving care and expert guidance of their new caretakers.

As they grew and thrived under their watchful eyes, the siblings would go on to become beloved ambassadors for their species, their remarkable story serving as a testament to the power of compassion, dedication, and the human-animal bond.

As the years passed, Bart II's physical growth was mirrored by his increasing significance within the realm of cinema. Now, as he approaches the milestone age of twenty, his impressive acting repertoire boasts an array of notable titles, including the sequel to the beloved family film "Dr. Doolittle 2", the humorous adventure "Without a Paddle", the critically acclaimed biographical drama "Into the Wild", and most recently, a standout appearance in the highly acclaimed HBO series "Game of Thrones", which has garnered widespread critical acclaim. Furthermore, Bart II's impressive acting career is set to continue with an upcoming appearance in the intriguing Discovery series "Man vs. Bear", which promises to be a thrilling and entertaining addition to his already impressive filmography.
