a leap salmon story fish eagle and bear
Answers
Answer:
You set foot on land, heart racing as both feet are on hard ground and ahead of you is one of nature’s greatest events. The water bubbles and pulsates with millions of salmon swimming against the current, grizzly bears are swiping with finger length claws either in the hopes of catching one of these tasty treats mid-leap and a bald eagle is circling above selecting its next meal. You stand on the same ground as the grizzlies, some of the biggest grizzlies in the world, as they fish, play and forage on the shores, putting on their annual show to fill up on protein before going into hibernation. This is a major event for the fish, the bears, the birds and the fishermen of Alaska, and you are slap bang in the middle of it.
Each year, the salmon return providing food, not only to the bears and the birds, but also the wolves, the killer whales back in the ocean and even the forest itself. This major event is unmissable to any wildlife enthusiast, whether you want to see the grizzlies up close and personal, fancy some bird watching or even a spot of fishing.
In Alaska you can witness the salmon run via boat, viewing platforms or land vehicles, but for the most intimate and jaw-dropping experience, we offer the chance for you to walk among them, on foot. Similarly, you can experience this magnificent display in British Columbia in Canada.
