Arnold Schwartzenegger Bear

I was at Bear Camp last June during the bear rut. We had a couple close encounters with sows but none with males and thank goodness we never had a close encounter with this bear. I was calling him the Arnold Schwarzenegger bear because he was HUGE and he looked ripped in terms of muscles! Here he gives us a look as he crosses the tidal flats, with some shadows and mud on him. It was great to see him but this was as close as I ever want to be to a bear like him!

 

Unfortunately Bear Camp, like many tourist businesses in Alaska, didn't open this year due to COVID-19.
