Brooks Falls Bears 2023 - 5

A full screen capture from the Explore.org/YouTube livestream of the Brown Bears at Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, Alaska. Each year dozens of bears gather on the Brooks River, and especially at the falls, to feast on the salmon as they make their annual spawning run. This is the eleventh year the livestream has been available. This image is of bear 747 Colbert, the 2020 and 2022 Fat Bear Week Champion. This is a closeup of him taking a nap on an island in the river. Image was captured July 9th, 2023.
