Bear watching holidays

They say bears are solitary creatures. However, if you find yourself around an Alaskan salmon spawning river in late summer, that myth is quickly busted as grizzlies gather en masse to devour fish which look like they were merely invited to dance at the party. Nature is harsh. And nowhere better exemplifies this in action than in the world of bears. Watch a polar bear savage a seal on bear watching holidays and all notions of cuddly will be long gone.
