Sad news - Bart the Bear dead at 21
ANIMAL actor Bart the Bear II, who appeared in Game of Thrones and Dr Dolittle 2, passed away at age 21.
Bart, who acquired quite a long list of acting credits throughout his career, passed away peacefully at his home in Heber City, Utah.
The 1400-pound animal famously portrayed the grizzly that Brienne of Tarth is thrown into a pit with in the third season of Game of Thrones.
Bart also served as an ambassador to grizzly bear habitat conservation-focused group, Vital Ground Foundation, the group’s co-founders wrote in their obituary of the bear.
"Vital Ground is a land trust focused on conserving grizzly bear habitat, preserving genetic corridors for all wildlife and botanicals," the obituary reads.
