在肥熊的肚子里
在阿拉斯加的卡特迈国家公园和保护区,“育肥”正在进行中。像我们的朋友一样的棕熊正在为漫长的冬天而膨胀,聚集在布鲁克斯瀑布享用迁徙的鲑鱼。瀑布的底部是一个主要的捕鱼点,因为它为鲑鱼向上游跳跃创造了一个临时屏障。这使得饥饿的熊可以相对容易地捕捉到这些鱼,因为它们一天最多可以捕捉到30条鲑鱼。

In Alaska's Katmai National Park and Preserve, the 'fattening' is under way. Brown bears like our homepage friend are bulking up for the long winter, gathering at Brooks Falls to feast on migrating salmon. The base of the falls is a prime fishing spot because it creates a temporary barrier to salmon jumping upstream. This makes the fish relatively easy pickings for hungry bears, who can catch up to 30 salmon a day.
