Bears hunting salmon in Russia's far east
- 8 years ago
Footage, filmed last year, of a group of bears hunting salmon in a lake in Russia's far east.
The video, filmed in Kamchatka in August last year, shows the bears hunting for fish after spending spring and early summer living off grass.
The filmer later wrote online: "This time of year is the perfect timing for the bears as it is not that energy consuming to fish, and it allows them to gain enough fat ahead of hibernation.
"Kamchatka - with its beautiful untouched nature, forests, volcano mountains and hot springs - is not just one of the most beautiful spots of Russian Far East, but also an ideal habitat for the bears."
"In peace and quietness away from people's eyes, they feel themselves the real owners of the land, walking the woods and hunting for salmon in rivers and lakes," he continued.
