Plot Synopsis

Narrated by Billy Connolly, GREAT BEAR STAKEOUT is a two-part documentary that chronicles an expert team of filmmakers following the lives of grizzly bears deep in Alaska. The grizzly bears include: Van, a giant male grizzly bear -- possibly one of the biggest in Alaska -- who is the undisputed king of the bay; Van's sidekick, Alice, the femme fatale of the neighborhood; Parsnip, a young inexperienced mother with young cubs living in a dangerous part of the bay, whose challenge is to keep her cubs safe and find enough food for all of them; Solo, an awkward 'teenager' in is his last season with this mother Lucy -- soon having to face up to life on his own; Kali and her three cubs, who are at the Falls, where there are lots of fish, but also lots of males to contend with; and very experienced mother Scrunch and her two cubs, who have a successful day fishing at the Valley. GREAT BEAR STAKEOUT had its U.S. premiere on Sunday, May 12, 2013 from 9-11pm ET/PT, as Discovery Channel debuted the program as a two-hour special. Eleventh months later, the documentary had its network premiere on Animal Plant on Tuesday, April 15, 2014 from 9-11pm ET/PT, once again shown as a two-hour documentary.
