Starting in the late summer, rivers in Northern Canada come alive with salmon, who make their way upstream during the annual salmon run. Grizzly bears take advantage of the abundant food supply to gorge themselves before the long winter, catching dozens of fish per day.
It’s a spectacular sight, but difficult to capture because of the dangerous nature of these enormous creatures. Biut thanks to YouTube user bradjosephs and his trusty GoPro camera, we have a chance to watch the bears in action. The folks at GoPro even cut the footage together with a catchy soundtrack.
Watch out for an up-close moment, as a curious grizzly tries to eat the camera.
