How bears catch fish (3 photos + 1 video)

The fish practically jumps into the bears' mouths on its own!





A small waterfall in Alaska becomes the end of the road for hundreds of salmon fish every year. It is here that bears make a pilgrimage every year to feast on fish. They know how to catch it both on the surface and under water.



The bears in the video were hungry for tasty salmon, because they had not eaten it for several months. It is for this reason that there are constant skirmishes at the waterfall for the best place for fishing. Not only males quarrel; even mother bears and their cubs fight for fish.



The salmon tries to jump over the river threshold and literally jumps into its mouth with a clubfoot. It is important for fish to slip past, but not everyone succeeds; some become lunch. But still, most of the salmon pass by: out of 100 fish that pass along this river, only one ends up in the mouth of a shaggy fisherman.
