El caso Timothy Treadwell: La pareja que grabó cómo un Oso acabó con ellos en 6 minutos
Timothy Treadwell, un aventurero apasionado por los osos, pasó más de 13 años en el parque estudiándolos y documentando su vida en video. Sin embargo, en el otoño de 2003, Timothy y su novia Amie Huguenard fueron atacados por uno de estos animales, dejando una grabación de audio de sus últimos momentos.
En este artículo, exploraremos la historia del caso Timothy Treadwell y su trágico desenlace, que aún sigue generando controversia.

Los hombres se adentraron a la naturaleza y gritaron sus nombres. Si quien murió era Timothy quizás Amie aún estaba viva. Cuando estaban lo suficientemente cerca observaron al oso engullendo sobre una pila de restos humanos y ramas.
En otro rincón estaba el cuerpo de Aime y su rostro parecía dormido, pero era todo lo que había de ella. La cara. El oso de casi tres metros de altura atacó a los guardaparques, pero luego de una lluvia balas lograron tumbarlo.

At first, Amie Huguenard was wary of the apex predators, which can weigh up to 1,000 pounds. But Treadwell had charm and a passion for the bears that assuaged her fear. He even once told David Letterman that they were nothing but “party animals.”
And during their summer visits, the bears were largely docile, spending much of their days resting and feeding, helping Huguenard to feel safe around them. Although she and Treadwell were anything but.
“Amie had a kind of naïveté about her that added a real sweetness to her entire persona. At times it was easy to convince her of things that were not entirely true,” Stephen Bunch, one of Amie’s old boyfriends, wrote after her death.
“But I always felt I could trust her because she bestowed the same trust in you unconditionally.”
Still, Amie Huguenard also witnessed Treadwell’s confrontations with the National Park Service. Park rangers were concerned that Treadwell was placing himself and others in danger by approaching the bears so closely and that he was maintaining dangerous camping practices on his quest to stop poachers.
Huguenard and Treadwell were sinking deeper into some critical mistakes. Crucially, and contrary to generations of Alaskan received wisdom and wildlife expertise, Amie Huguenard and Timothy Treadwell believed that the grizzlies were becoming “[their] animals.”
“Tim would honestly die if it meant these animals could live,” Huguenard wrote.

Willy Fulton Amie Lynn Huguenard was Timothy Treadwell’s constant companion on his final three trips to visit the grizzly bears in Alaska’s Katmai National Park.
The film became one of Herzog’s most highly regarded works for its laser focus on Treadwell, an environmentalist with a troubled past who spent his summers with the bears of Alaska’s Katmai National Park. His eventual death in their jaws was something which surprised no one, least of all himself.
In the years since their fate came to light, much of the conversation around them has ignored Huguenard, but hers is a tragic cautionary tale and one of promise cut short.
Se encontró una videocámara que registró los gritos del final
La policía encontró una videocámara con la tapa del lente puesta que había grabado todo lo sucedido en audio.
“¡Hazte el muerto, hazte el muerto!”, se escuchaba decir a la novia de Timothy cuando el oso lo había atrapado.
“Me está matando, golpéalo con algo”, se escucha decir a Timothy.
Su novia golpeó varias veces al oso con una sartén, pero no obtuvo éxito alguno.
