2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Brown Bear, Katmai National Park, United States
Alaska Brown Bear

Species: Brown Bear | Location: Katmai National Park, United States

We camped at Brooks Camp for three nights and loved the extra time it afforded with the bears. We really got to know individual personalities and were able to witness quite a few scuffles and even a bit of lovemaking among the bruins. This male was kind enough to stand quietly for a few pictures as he waited for a salmon to take the leap.
