Better than a nest-cam \ watch alaska brown bears hunting salmon in a raging river

Brooks Falls in Alaska's Katmai National Park is the best place in the world to watch brown bears feasting on salmon as they swim upstream to spawn. Find out the best time to watch live and learn more about Katmai and its brown bears on Explore.org @ https://goo.gl/fhMmQy.

Between habitat loss, bears, humans, and all those hungry critters in the ocean, it is amazing that there are any salmon available to spawn!

That is so cool. Wife and I were musing about how we were relaxing in our comfortable chairs, these bears in their own world, just trying to stay alive, and here we were with all this technology at our fingertips to watch this ancient process as entertainment: cameras, cellular network, cable internet, home network, communication satellites orbiting earth, and a cheap computer. We really have it so good in some ways.
