History

Anthony used to provide bear hunts to hunters for seven years. Through this, Anthony acquired knowledge on the black bear, the world of hunting and on all types of bears from different regions.[5] As many bears are killed while hunting, bear conservation has become a must. Thus the TV serial Bear Whisperer started with a view to conserving the bears.[6]
