The brown bears of Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve — the same bears of Fat Bear Week internet fame — are currently devouring the skin, flesh, and brains of 4,500-calorie sockeye salmon. The bounties of migrating fish attract an exceptional gathering of bears at Katmai’s Brooks River, and the final week of July 2021 is burgeoning with activity. It’s a superb opportunity to tune into the dynamic livestream, beamed from a remote part of the Alaskan Peninsula. Bears young and old congregate at the river’s waterfall, Brooks Falls, in July.

By October, the bears will be fattened up, sometimes to ridiculous degrees, for their long, harsh winter hibernation. Watch the magic.
