Majestic brown bear senses the approaching winter in Alaska (00001037)
(4)
Description: The brown bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) is an impressive animal in Alaska, sniffing the autumn air. As the salmon run is long gone, he prepares for winter. During summer, the bear consumes anything he can find to build up a fat layer. Salmon are a special treat for him in this period. However, in winter, he refrains from eating and rests, relying on his energy reserves.
Location: Alaska/Katmai, Brooks River, USA
