Majestic brown bear fishing for salmon below the waterfall in autumn (00000947)
Description: The brown bear, scientifically known as Ursus arctos horribilis, is an imposing animal that skillfully searches for salmon below the roaring waterfall. It is late autumn and the leaves of the trees shine in various warm colors. The famous 'salmon run' is already over, but occasionally some stragglers still try to reach their spawning grounds. The brown bear wanders through the clear water to catch almost dying and already dead salmon. A fascinating scene of nature that showcases the beauty and strength of these majestic animals.
