Snarls and Spittle 3I9790

When adult bears come too close to cubs or attempt to make off with a salmon, claimed and caught, things can get a bit gnarly. Two bears tangled over salmon that one caught and gave to her cubs. The other saw an opportunity in stealing the fish from the young bears. Momma bear, however, would not allow this to happen on her watch. This battle came down to no more than angry snarls and spittle. These encounters can sometimes lead to injuries and even death. Thankfully, this is rare. #BrownBears
