The Shake-down 3I2972

After a missed attempt at a salmon running the shallows of the inlet, a brown bear shakes off excess water, sending off a plume of droplets into the air. The chilly waters, a combination of salty Alaskan sea and ice-melt from the mountains, doesn't keep these burly bears from spending long periods of time partially immersed and dripping wet. Thick fur and heavy fat layers help keep them warm.
