Over the coming weeks I’ll be sharing lots of images of brown bears from the Brooks River in Alaska, along with images of lynx, short-tailed weasels, and incredible valley and more. This image shows a subadult brown bear chasing salmon.

Awesome capture, Russ! Those salmon are flying.
Thanks Jane!
Wow how did the salmon even flew up? Can share what is happening?
The salmon are attempting to jump over Brooks Falls on the Brooks River in Katmai National Park. The bear is beneath the falls, jumping after the salmon that haven’t made the jump.
the claws on that beast
I know!
Oh my…these photos are wondrous – you captured the action and each hair on this bear. Awesome. Loved the cub in the other shot…which made me ask, where was mama? Smile. PTL you lived to post it! Smile.
