One for Throwback Thursday, harkening to July 2019 when I had the privilege of visiting Katmai National Park & Preserve.

The bears were seemingly everywhere and quite active as they took advantage of the salmon run. While they were largely focused on the fish, they were also quite aware of the other bears in the area, not wanting to have their catch stolen or risk getting into a fight over another’s territory. This one appeared to be on the younger side, judging from its size, and it largely kept its distance from the bigger boars and sows.
