The news was shared by his family, Lynne and Doug Seus, on a post on The Vital Ground Foundation – a charity which was co-founded by the pair with the aim of conserving the grizzly bear population.
Bart the Bear II, a famous grizzy bear who had appeared in dozens of film and television productions, has died.
Vital Ground is a land trust focused on conserving grizzly bear habitat, preserving genetic corridors for all wildlife and botanicals.
They went on to say that the bear died “silently and naturally” from “the banks of Daniel Creek, Utah, this week.”
