If you happen to be awake, or are in Australia, have a look at the BearCam at Brooks Falls. Four Alaskan brown bears are in the rapids hunting salmon. And they’re spaced quite evenly.
It’s amazing we can watch this from the comfort of our homes.

I’m counting seven bears.
Hiya….I’m in Australia and i’m enjoying watching……Thanks for your posts…..

Saw one bear get one!
Just saw one nab one.
NOM NOM NOM
I saw 10 the other night.

This is far better than the Olympics! The most I\’ve seen so far is six. I love watching the dynamics between the bears – it\’s pretty easy to guess which are the young ones.
Earlier tonight I watched a bear wander in and bully out another bear from the good spot, catch a fish within five minutes and wander back out.
Such fun!
4 fishing and 4 in the background! And birds!
I counted four, until quite by accident I happened to pick a big beast of a bear out against the far bank. I’m suddenly very glad not to be there in person.
I’ve only seen two so far, but this is amazing! And I liked how two bears exchanged places in the stream – taking turns in fishing (I am currently reading Frans De Waal’s Ape and the Sushi Master, a little anthropomorphism isn’t bad
