Brown Bear trying his luck below waterfall (00000918)
(4)
Description: The Brown Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) has submerged his head underwater. It's late fall and the first snow is not far. The foliage of the trees shines in the most beautiful autumn colors, while the 'salmon run' is over. Only a few stragglers are still attempting to reach the spawning grounds. The Brown Bear is scavenging for nearly dead and already deceased salmon to prepare for the upcoming harsh winter.
Location: Alaska/Katmai, , USA
Date of Capture: 17.09.1998
