💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐻🐾 At #Katmai National Park, two mother #bears killed #cubs that weren’t their own, the first documented female infanticide at #BrooksRiver.
Naturalists work through theories, centered on the odd idea that mingling cubs pick up each other’s scent and compete for #resources. Experts admit they can’t fully explain why.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐻🐻❄️ On August 3, cameras caught a rare silver-furred brown bear cub yawning in the grass at #Katmai National Park in #Alaska.
Park ranger Sarah Bruce and biologist Michael Saxon explain the coloring comes from natural genetic variation, not a #polarbear hybrid. The six-month-old cub faces steep odds, since rangers estimate 33-50% of spring #cubs do not survive to their first year.

As @EyeOnAlaska points out, the #Katmai #Alaska #BearCam is live! If you're fascinated by wild brown (grizzly) bears (and wolves!) fishing side by side, this is the cam for you. https://explore.org/livecams/brown-bears/brown-bear-salmon-cam-brooks-falls

My yearly public service announcement. The Katmai Falls live bear-cam is operational again, and so are the bears.
I won't be getting much done for the foreseeable future. #Alaska #Katmai #Bears #WildLifehttps://explore.org/livecams/brown-bears/brown-bear-salmon-cam-brooks-falls

The Katmai bear cams are live again. This is not a drill. Bears! Bears! Bears!
When 903 Gully takes his place on the falls the season will truly have started.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐻🎣 The #Katmai bear cams return June 23, livestreaming brown #bears #fishing for #salmon at #BrooksFalls, #Alaska.
Adult males gain roughly a pound per day, going from about 700 lbs (318 kg) to over 1,200 lbs (544 kg) by fall, storing fat to survive #winter weight loss of up to one-third their body mass. The 2025 Fat Bear Week champion Chunk emerged from #hibernation with a healing broken jaw.

🐻🏔️ Maintenance workers in #Alaska recorded an early #spring sighting of a dominant male brown #bear known as #Chunk. Despite a permanent jaw injury sustained last season, the 545 kg (1,200 lbs) bear remains a healthy and prominent figure in the #BrooksRiver #ecosystem.

"KING SALMON, Alaska --- Katmai National Park is pinning its hopes on finding local talent to design the 2026 Brooks Camp bear etiquette pin. The park invites Southwest Alaskan residents of all ages to submit a design for the bear pin. The winning design becomes the official Katmai bear pin that tens of thousands of visitors wear this summer. The winning designer is awarded a set of pins along with the satisfaction of seeing their artwork worn on the jackets and ballcaps of visitors from around the world."
