Brown bear observes a sockeye salmon in shallow water

Description: The impressive brown bear, scientifically known as Ursus arctos horribilis, stands on the bank of a river and peers into the clear water. There, he spots a majestic sockeye salmon, also known as Sockeye Salmon, swimming in the shallow water. During the autumn season, when the salmon swim upstream, it is an important time for the bear to find food. The water is calm, and the scene exudes an untouched wilderness that reflects the beauty of nature. A fascinating moment of animal encounter in the Alaskan wilderness.
