Brown bear · 2026

Down for the Count

This fight was never a fair one. A brown bear picks a fight with a wooden post standing guard over a pond full of leaping sockeye salmon, wrestling it, charging through the spray, snatching a fish mid-air. But the post gets the last word — toppling square onto the bear and leaving it flattened in the shallows, log across its back, while the salmon swim on completely unbothered.
