An Alaskan Coastal Brown Bear looks at the viewer after just popping its head above water. Only the bear's head and tops of its shoulders are visible above the water. The bear's mouth is open at an angle, resembling the :/ emoji.

Sorry for all the serious posts today. Here's 151 Walker caught in a moment of unusual clarity on the cams during an August evening. #katmai
A large male brown bear stands in gently rippling river water up to his neck. He looks like he's posing for the camera.

ok nerds i've been unable to find an answer to this: what kind of mutation has caused this gorgeous asiatic black bear to look like a chonky lion

I think you need to see a bear, quietly eating marshmallows.
We got a BIG donation of marshmallows & peanuts and the bears were very appreciative.

🐻 Why are some brown bears in #Alaska drastically different in size...despite being the SAME species?

That question takes #students straight into the heart of #ecology, #adaptation, and #foodwebs. At #SchoolyardFilms, we head into the wild to capture real bear behavior and habitats so students can🧵

Since we're all talking about tool use by animals, here's a picture from 2012 of a brown bear using a rock to exfoliate.

It's the new year, so I'm thinking about which of our beautiful Brooks River sows have newborn cubs in their dens right now. For brown bears, fatness and pregnancy are connected, and the fattest ladies were 901 and her mom 284 Electra. I wonder if they have little babies with them right now. #katmai
284 Electra standing in a shallow river. 901 looking absurdly fat, perched in the river, looking over her shoulder.

There were better photo ops on that trip, though.

A photo of two large brown grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) wrestling playfully in water on a rainy, overcast day, one grasping the other from behind and mouthing its ear. The water looks like swirly patterns of brown and olive green and it's up to the bears' shoulders. A photo of Steller's sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) amassed on a large rock in the sea on an overcast day. They are large reddish-brown sea lions, in a mixed group of a few giant bulls and many smaller females. Behind them is a larger rocky island covered with greenery and gulls, more water, and a land mass forrested with pine trees. A photo of two bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), an adult with a bright white head and dark brown body on the left and a juvenile with mixed brown and white plumage on the right, perched together on a weathered man-made structure in the rain, looking very wet, with green conifers in the background behind them. A close-up photo of a grizzly bear's (Ursus arctos horribilis) face in profile, facing left, its mouth wide open displaying large yellow teeth and a dark pink tongue. It has wet reddish-brown fur and light rain is visible falling in the air around it. Trees and greenery are visible in the background behind it.

Two large and well-fed Alaskan Coastal Brown Bears stand side by side in Brooks river. The bears' left sides are facing the camera. The bear in the background is looking down into the water for Salmon. The bear in the foreground has its head up and is looking at something in the distance to the left of the image's edge. Part of Brooks Falls is visible in the background.

A very cozy Major Arcana reveal today! This is the Hermit from the upcoming Whimsy Woods Tarot I am creating w/ @deborahblakeauthor.bsky.social, to be published by Llewellyn Worldwide in 2027. Looks like a perfect snowy evening to me! ❄📚

Every card is created with ink, watercolor, + acryla gouache.
Illustration of a brown bear in a lounging cap and robe reading a book in a window alcove inside of his den. There is snow out the window. The room has roots coming from the ceiling, onions and herbs hanging, lit candles and lantern, a bookshelf, books, decorative rugs, and cozy slippers.

Sweetest boy 812. He hasn't been seen since 2021 but he was a young adult, and it's very possible he followed some sow in estrus to another river with less competition than crowded Brooks. He's 11 now (assuming he's still alive), so I hope he's coming into his own at another river somewhere. #katmai

Two evenly-matched males spent the afternoon lazily sparring while waiting for the bay to freeze. #BearSeason2025 #Mammals 🌿
Two male polar bears lie on the snowy ground facing each other and lazily mouth at each other's head. The bears are up on all fours now with one draping himself over the back of the other who chomps on the loose fur around his opponent's neck. Both bears are standing on hind legs, sussing each other out before sparring for real. Both bears are standing on their hind legs getting ready to take a swipe at each other.

Tundra Bear

Earlier this year I drove the Dempster Highway up to Tuktoyaktuk on the coast of the Arctic Ocean. I encountered this beautiful grizzly on the autumn tundra, just north of the Arctic circle. Easily one of my favourite pics from the trip.
