Today I have some sad News to share. Maybe you remember the bear who appeared in Season 4 episode "The River". I learned yesterday that he passed away last friday. The Discovery Wildlife Park shared the following message:
"But the absolute worst thing that happened was that Ruth's precious Kodiak Barney passed away yesterday. He had been having abdominal pain for a few days and was being cared for by the vets. It turned out that he had a twisted gut, which is almost always fatal. Our hearts go out to Ruth and her other bears, as they will also feel the loss.
Barney was an amazing movie bear - he lit up every time he was on set and always strived to please. He will be terribly missed by everyone who knew him." https://www.facebook.com/pages/Discovery-Wildlife-Park/19461577758
Here are two pics of Barney and Chris (who directed this ep):
