A BROWN bear wades through waters in Alaska and waits for his lunch. Sat patiently in a flow of rushing water, the mighty predator spies the only dish on the menu, as a salmon swims by. This hungry coastal brown bear was photographed by American photographer Nick Kalathas, 57, on a visit to the Katmai National Park, Alaska. 'This brown bear was busy fishing for salmon to eat as his next snack,' says Nick, of Pennsylvania.
