“And then the angler said it was THEIR salmon...!”⁣ ⁣ Did you know a bear's waking hours are often dominated by their search for food? Outside of their denning season, bears predictably congregate in food rich areas throughout Katmai. Some areas of Katmai National Park, like the food rich Pacific coast, support some of the highest densities of bears ever documented. Other areas of the park with little food, such as the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, support only a few bears in any season. ⁣ ⁣ Image: A bear sits on the shoreline at Katmai. NPS/B.
