Hellooo there! A small Kodiak bear digging for roots on the hillside behind my cabin looks down at the dogs and I. The single bears (without cubs) and males have been out for a little while, now as this has been a very mild winter. We went on our way and she decided to take a nap on the hill. The bear hunt, open on the entire Kodiak archipelago, has started April 1st; hopefully, she won’t be mistaken for a “trophy” by an inexperienced hunter. #bears #kodiak #islandlife #brownbears #wildlifeonear

This is one hungry bear! 🐻 Among the largest bear species in the world, the Kodiak brown bear can eat up to 90 pounds of sockeye salmon a day as it prepares to hibernate. | National Geographic TV
