An old familiar bear. This older male has fished in the same bay for years, though I’ve seen him further north. He never seems to be in a hurry and is large enough to make the other bears move out of the way. Brown bears can live for more than 30 years and I suspect this guy is in his 20’s. #oldman #bears #brownbears #walking #wildlife #wildnature #wildlifeonearth #animals @kodiakairservice | Kodiak Island Expeditions

Getting back in the groove. A large male brown bear starts to show interest in fishing again after a long, berry eating hiatus. Many of the bears we've been seeing are already fat - from eating berries and vegetation. This year, Kodiak Island and the Alaskan peninsula had an amazing berry crop- bears were focused on this bounty for weeks and did not appear on the rivers and open places (where we could see them) until recently. | Kodiak Island Expeditions
