NA. A brown bear, also known as a grizzly, feasts on sockeye salmon
A brown bear, also known as a grizzly, feasts on sockeye salmon, which is a fundamental drama in Kamchatka's still largely intact ecosystem.
Salmon--pink, chum, sockeye, coho, chinook, and masu--flood the waters that typically solitary brown bears crowd together to feed at Kuril Lake. Bears need to eat about 40 fish a day to put on weight to make it through the winter.
Brown bears in Kamchatka can be 7 to 9 feet in length and weigh 700-800 pounds. Species: U. arctic Genus:Ursus
Kamchatka has the highest density of brown bears in the world, with almost 15, 000 on the Russian peninsula

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a brown bear, a majestic and powerful predator, engages in the fundamental drama of survival in Kamchatka's pristine ecosystem. The bear, also known as a grizzly, is feasting on a sockeye salmon at Kuril Lake, one of the many bodies of water teeming with pink, chum, sockeye, coho, chinook, and masu salmon. The bears in Kamchatka, a region in the Russian Far East, need to consume approximately 40 fish a day to build up the necessary fat to endure the long, harsh winter. Brown bears in Kamchatka can reach lengths of 7 to 9 feet and weigh between 700 to 800 pounds, making them a formidable presence in the wild. This magnificent creature is an example of the Ursus arctos species, a member of the Ursidae family. Kamchatka boasts the highest density of brown bears in the world, with nearly 15,000 individuals inhabiting the peninsula. This region is a significant UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserving the unique ecosystem and the diverse wildlife that call it home. The photograph captures the intensity and focus of the bear as it catches and consumes its prey, showcasing the raw power and determination of nature's most skilled hunters. The splashes and sprays of water add to the dynamic scene, further emphasizing the energy and excitement of this natural encounter. The absence of human presence in the image highlights the untouched beauty of Kamchatka and the importance of preserving these habitats for future generations to enjoy and learn from. This photograph serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between predator and prey, and the essential role that each plays in maintaining the health and vitality of the ecosystem.
