A great catch via @mikewolfel. 🐟 Check out these Alaskan coastal brown bears doing what they do best: fishing for salmon to beef up for winter hibernation. 🐻 After a bear would catch salmon, it would usually take it to calmer waters to devour it; other times, it would eat the salmon right away! This was shot in Katmai National Park and Preserve, which aims to protect 9,000 years of human history and serves as an important habitat for salmon and thousands of brown bears.
