A Wolf Catching Salmon

Great story with video footage of a female wolf catching salmon faster than the bears in a rushing stream.

Alaska — It’s one of the premier wildlife viewing areas in all of Alaska, the Brooks Camp in Katmai National Park.

The main attraction is the big brown bears that crowd the falls and feast on red salmon. For many red salmon from Bristol Bay, their trip ends just short of the spawning grounds, in the jaws of a bear.

“The first day that wolf showed up it came trotting down the far bank and just jumps out in the river real quick, catches a fish, disappears and you know, it happened so quick, maybe 30 seconds or so. People are like, ‘Whoa what’s going on here?’”

Bear Breaks Into Car

The car alarm was blaring, and there was a light moving around inside.

A couple in the Colorado Mountain Estates subdivision near Florissant thought someone was trying to steal their car early Wednesday.

When deputies from the Teller County Sheriff’s Office responded at about 2:30 a.m., they discovered a young bear in the car.

One of the two deputies took some pictures of the bear, opened the car door, and the bear was gone in a flash.

A bear that wandered into an inground skateboard park and got stuck was rescued when officials lowered a ladder so it could climb out.

The bear was discovered Tuesday morning in the Colorado resort town of Snowmass, according to KUSA-TV. Officials say it apparently was in the park all night, and couldn’t get out because of the steep concrete sides.

Workers from the Parks and Recreation Department lowered a long ladder. The bear eventually climbed the ladder and wandered away
