She explains the realism of black-bear attacks and behavior in "Cocaine Bear" (2023) and "Backcountry" (2014). Wynn-Grant also looks at Po the giant panda in "Kung Fu Panda" (2008); the polar bears in "The Golden Compass" (2007), with Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig; and the mutant bear in "Annihilation" (2018), with Natalie Portman.
