Legendary Biologist John Craighead Celebrates 100th Birthday in Missoula, Montana

"We were in Yellowstone with our father studying grizzly bears, when we all realized that the bear was coming very close to us and we had to climb up a tree or something. And I grew up having golden eagles as pets, and took them out after school and released them and flew them in the art of falconry."

"The other side of that coin is growing up in a family you learned to have an insatiable curiosity about how all things were interconnected. That everything was somehow related to everything else in the environment. And it was important to be able to look at the big picture, not just individual things."
