The livestream of Alaska’s fat bears is unfiltered. It can be brutal.
On July 27, one of the largest and most dominant bears of Katmai National Park and Preserve’s Brooks River attacked a cub, to the dread of web onlookers. The cub looked seriously injured, appeared to slightly improve over a couple of days, but the young animal’s current status remains unknown. It’s a moment that reveals the bears’ natural world in its full, wild spectrum.
“We get to see their moments of joy,” Mike Fitz, a former Katmai park ranger and currently a resident naturalist for the bear cam livestreamers explore.org, said in an online live chat. “However, the webcams are live, the footage is uncensored. We also see bears face hardship, hunger, injury, pain, and even death.”
Yellowstone just had an explosion. What that means for the future.
