I could not believe it when I found it. I have never seen anything like it.

Oh, that is so cool, thanks for posting the links. I could watch it for hours.:)

There were two bears just now at the first link and one at the second. Wonderful fun watching them. Thanks. :)

In the second link that bear seem to be able to catch the salmon. I

I've been addicted to the bear cams for the past 3 years.:o It's quite active again - the bears always disappear during August and come back again late in the month. There are also live chats scheduled regularly with the park rangers, where you will learn so much about the bears. There are regulars on this forum who are also regulars over there.

They were down for a couple of months back (live that is). Good to see they are back on line. We have also watched those live cams for a few years.

That is a wonderful link.

The live cams were down (for just over a month, I think), the info kept coming though. That was when I discovered a new addiction - to the puffin burrows, LOL!:o Oh, and not to forget the penguins.

I can't stop watching the cam. I just saw on the lower river a bear having lunch. What a treat to watch these animals!

Thank you for the link.......

A huge bear eating lunch now on the lower river.

GREAT to watch. :)

Two are playing (or fighting) in the water in another cam on that site! Very cool!

I love watching the bears. Thank you so much for sharing the link.

Ooops,

:o I thought they could have been mating. :D Is this mating season for bears in Alaska?

Oh my, yes, I suppose they could have been mating - or getting ready to. I've never been to Alaska or other "bear country," so I don't know much about bear behavior. But it was sure interesting to watch!

I barely know anything about bear behavior. I did not know they like the water so much!

I've been watching the bear in lower river and it is catching a fair amount of salmon for lunch. :)

A bit of a reminder, and a caution. Remember that this is nature, in all its wild and unpredictable and sometimes harsh glory. This is not edited for TV, it is not trained animals performing for the camera. Wild bears live a tough life and not all survive.

I've been watching the Katmai cam since its inception. Every year, there are moments of profound sadness.

That said, this window into the life of the bears of Katmai is a spectacular accomplishment, and makes the wonders of Alaska accessible to the world.

It's fantastic that Holly seems to have adopted the abandoned cub. While the bears were all gone the past month many of us thought the cub would be on it's own - and we know how that ends up.

Is Holly the bear with the light fur on the ears?

Is Holly the bear with the light fur on the ears?

Yes, one of the bears with light ears. She's the one with the cubs down at the lower river right now. All the bears have numbers, and most are identified by their number, but quite a few have been christened with names now! Everyones' favourite is Otis, who sits "in his office" at the edge of the falls all day, lazily catching fish right there.

WOW, thanks for the link..\ I saw a bear sitting at the falls by the bank the other day. Just sat a caught fish. Maybe it was Otis.

With Holly, I thought on of the cubs was not hers because of the different is size between the two cubs.

Thanks
