In the Katmai National Park, Alaska, one can see brown bears congregating at Brooks Falls to feast on the salmon. These powerful omnivores are known for their imposing size, distinctive hump of muscle between their shoulders and formidable presence in the wild. They have a diverse diet, ranging from berries to fish, small mammals and even the occasional large prey. These creatures help regulate prey populations and redistribute nutrients by scavenging carcasses. They need more land, with their preferred habitat spanning up to 600 square miles. Therefore, their habitat remains untouched by human development and offering abundant food sources.
