Description: The majestic brown bear, scientifically known as Ursus arctos horribilis, stands patiently at the waterfall, waiting for the bright red sockeye salmon to swim upstream. This breathtaking moment marks the peak of the salmon run, where the bear and other predators patiently await their meal. The waterfall is a crucial stop for the salmon on their journey to the spawning grounds, but also a dangerous spot where various predators gather to catch their prey. A fascinating natural spectacle in the wild nature of Alaska.
