TITLE=Fat, Happy and Full of Salmon

A large male brown bear expresses content after eating salmon all morning. Katmai National Park and Preserve, Alaska.

Brown Bears have coats often tipped with a lighter color, giving a "grizzled" appearance. They also have a large lump of muscle above their shoulders. That muscle gives them great strength in their forelimbs. The Grizzly Bear is a sub-species of the Brown Bear. Brown Bears can weigh up to about 1500 pounds and can run at speeds of 35 miles per hour.

Technical: Canon 1D Mark II 8-megapixel camera, Canon 500 mm f/4 L IS lens plus 1.4x TC = 700 mm at f/5.6 1/125 second at ISO 800. Full height image, crop off left and right edges.
