A Running brown bear has focused on a salmon and sprints to try to catch it in the summer in katmai national park in Alaska, usa.

Focused and in Action

Alaska, USA

Bears can run up to 35 mph. Moving that much mass that quickly requires large amounts of energy. Brown bears have been known to eat up to 40 salmon per day. Rich in fat and protein, each 5 lb sockeye can contain up to 3800 calories. Though they may expend a great deal of energy repetitively chasing down salmon, they are generally able to gain 200-300 pounds in the summer.

Watching them hunt using the dynamic “dash-and-grab” method is nothing short of amazing. The incredible fitness, power, and athleticism is astounding to witness at close range.
