Jeremy Garland, Gone Fishing (Animal 2020)

For a few weeks every year, brown bears congregate in Katmai National Park, Alaska to feed on the annual salmon run. I was lucky enough to spend a few days in 2019 observing their behaviour. During my time, the salmon run slowed down dramatically and the fish became a scarce commodity. Due to the sudden lack of food, the bears became frustrated and soon resorted to stealing fish from others. After one bear had her fish stolen 5 times, she decided that was enough and a fight broke out.
