    Grizzly Torque

    Renowned Canadians and best friends, biologist Bristol Foster and naturalist-artist Robert Bateman, decided on a whim to travel the world.
    It was the late 1950s and Foster, now 82, and Bateman, 84, were still in their 20s with neither wives nor significant responsibilities to keep them in Toronto.
    But their 1957-58, 14-month trip through Africa, India, Southeast Asia and Australia, was made possible by one other travelling companion — their Land Rover, with its special, ambulance-style body and roof. The two called the vehicle Grizzly Torque and painted the name on the side of the truck.



    What an adventure
