A GRIZZLY GANG

PAWS for thought as you feast your eyes on this rare bear bathing session. These coastal brown bears gather for the sockeye salmon, who are attempting to get to their natal spawning ground. The giant fur-balls can eat up to 168 lbs of the protein-rich fish in a single day, providing them with the fat reserves they need to survive the winter hibernation.
