Description
Brown bears are omnivores who eat dozens of different plant and animal foods in Katmai. For the Fat Bear Week bears, however, salmon are especially important. At Brooks River, bears gather to fish for sockeye salmon between late June and late October. Bears work hard to take advantage of this bounty and gain enough fat to survive winter hibernation.
