Inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888

The host of the new Nat Geo WILD series Expedition Wild, Casey Anderson grew up in Montana, surrounded by wilderness and animals. After college, he became an animal keeper and trainer at wildlife parks, traveling to elephant orphanages in Kenya, hanging out with crocodiles, and once even getting thrashed by a mountain lion.
Then a baby grizzly bear named Brutus, that was born in an overpopulated wildlife park, came into his life. Casey rescued Brutus from being euthanized and built a sanctuary for him, which became Montana Grizzly Encounter, a bear rescue and education facility. Brutus now assists Casey in teaching park visitors about grizzly anatomy and conservation.
With 15 years experience in film and television production, Casey recently led two expeditions to Botswana’s Okavango Delta for the HD wildlife series Untamed. He and Brutus were also featured in the National Geographic Channel’s Expedition Grizzly, shedding light on the fate of Yellowstone’s vulnerable “Island” population of grizzlies.
An enthusiastic and passionate advocate for wildlife as well as an entertaining and thoughtful presenter, Casey Anderson offers an exciting personal account⎯illustrated with riveting images and footage⎯of the lessons he’s learned living and working with wild animals.
