The Charge

Species: Coastal Alaskan Brown Bear/Ursus Arctos Alascensis | Location: Lake Clark National Park. , Chinitna Bay, AK.

This is a photo of a Coastal Alaskan Brown Bear in a full run, charging after a sow during the mating season that takes place in May/June. Many young sows are not ready or willing to mate and have to keep their distance from boars that are seeking partners, sometimes having to run to escape their suitors.
