Brooks Falls Brown Bears

Making her bed. A young brown bear digs a day bed near the river. Bears will often dig a nest in sand, soil or vegetation for napping. The depression- or nest can be deep enough that they will almost disappear when they lay down; something to remember when hiking in bear habitat. #bears #brownbear #animals #naptime #sleepy #alaskawildlife #animalplanet #ourplanetdaily #wildlifeonearth #wildlifefacts #wildlifeplanet @kodiakairservice | Kodiak Island Expeditions

An old familiar face. I’ve watched this older male brown bear for several years. He’s probably in his 20’s now, but seems to be in good health. I love how the old ones move slowly and deliberately, hardly acknowledging the younger bears or humans. #old #bears #brownbears #grizzlybear #alaskawildlife #naturephotography #katmai #wild #wildlife #wildlife_shots #wildlifeonearth #animals @kodiakairservice | Kodiak Island Expeditions
