Grizzly bear running with salmon in mouth

Feel the power of this grizzly bear as it charges through the water with a fresh sockeye salmon in its mouth. Along Silver Salmon Creek, grizzlies feast on spawning sockeye as they enter their breeding grounds. A closeup image of a mature adult grizzly bear running mid-stride is breathtaking to capture. This is what makes bear viewing at Lake Clark world famous! Upwards of 3 million salmon may migrate to the waterways of Lake Clark annually, offering plentiful food sources for these coastal bears.
