brown bears
Salmon-catching forest giants
Brown bears are large omnivorous mammals found across North America, Europe, and Asia.
The species includes grizzly bears and Kodiak bears as regional subspecies.
Brown bears vary widely in size and coloration—from blonde to nearly black—but share the distinctive shoulder hump and long claws that distinguish them from black bears.
We saw brown bears fishing for salmon in Alaska.
