Where did you drop the fish, son?

In the pristine landscapes of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, Alaska, brown bears reign supreme. These magnificent creatures, also known as grizzly bears, are an iconic symbol of the untamed wilderness. Impressive in size, adult males can exceed 450 kilograms and reach a standing height of 3 metres. Their thick, shaggy fur—varying in shades from blonde to dark brown—provides insulation against the harsh Alaskan winter temperatures.
