Bart the Bear
Was a male Alaskan Kodiak brown bear who appeared in several Hollywood films throughout his career.
Bear JJ1 (aka Bruno the Bear)
In June 2006, a wild bear made headlines in Bavaria. The first brown bear spotted in Southern Germany for a century, Bruno became something of a celebrity inspiring songs, toys and an online game. However, when it became apparent Bruno had killed dozens of sheep and goats, Bavaria's Environment Ministry warned that Bruno posed a serious risk to public safety.
Bruno was shot dead hours after the Bavarian authorities approved a shoot-to-kill policy. His death prompted public out-cry, many questioned why a tranquilizer dart had not been used.
Hercules the Bear
Scottish wrestling bear Hercules achieved world fame when in 1980 he went missing. He subsequently became a regular star of British children's television, and appeared in the James Bond film Octopussy.
His trainer, Andy Robin, used gentle giant Hercules in his act on the UK wrestling circuit in the late 1970s and early 1980s, regularly drawing audiences of 15 million viewers on ITV's "World Of Sport" programme.
