Another picture of a 3 year old bear. You will notice "stuff" along the edge of the bank and what looks like stains on the fallen tree. Well, that is dead salmon carcases and "parts" the bears left behind. I'm sure that a salmon poking his head up through the water and seeing the carnage would think "holy mackeral, what happened here?" At the start of the salmon run the bears will catch a salmon and just eat the belly of the fish, the bottom side. That's only a small part of the fish but it contains the most fat and so he eats that and throws the rest of the fish aside.
