Fishing Bears

How do bears catch fish anyway? What is their technique. Think of how fast a fish moves, or "the big one that got away". Yet bears, huge and ponderous as they are, catch many fish. Are the fish they catch healthy and fast, or slow and worn out? Grizzly Bears thrive on salmon, with bears flocking to rivers during salmon runs, entering the rivers and somehow catching fish. Watch this video documentary to see some beautiful underwater bear fishing technique.

Wow ... beautiful photography. Here I sat cheering for the fish, and then marveling at the bears! I was glad when they said that 100s of the salmon make it for every fish that is caught (and eaten).

Hi Kari, Those bear movements are pretty amazing in that deep water, yes? Thanks for stopping by.
