The park in Alaska offers the chance to explore dynamic polar ecosystems and serves as a vital home for brown bears and salmon. Around 2200 brown bears live there, and Brooks Falls is an excellent spot to see them gorge on sockeye salmon as they travel upstream to spawn.
In late June and early July, the bears are particularly active on the live broadcast because they are starving and are at the height of their ᴍᴀᴛɪɴɢ season. This is a wonderful time to observe the bears in action. The bears compete with one another for the finest fishing places as the salmon leap up the falls. More than 30 fish can be caught and consumed daily by the biggest and most successful bears.
The brown bears of Katmai are among the biggest in the world. They can be 7-10 feet (2.1-3 m) long and stand between.9 and 1.5 meters tall at the shoulders. In the middle of the summer, most adult males weigh between 600 and 900 pounds (272-408 kg).
Large adult males can reach far over 1000 pounds (454 kg) by October and November. Adult females typically weigh around one-third less than adult males.
