Grizzly Bears Catching Salmon | Nature's Great Events | BBC Earth

It's the time of year when the salmon make their annual pilgrimage upstream to spawn, but leaping past the waiting hungry bears is no easy task.

it's a amazing how those bears know exactly when the salmon will arrive and wait for them. Ah nature

[hisyam]

I love when those bears save the salmon from drowning

"It's over, salmon! I have the high ground!" - bears

[MrDuBears]

Imagine canoeing down that river then seeing a small waterfall up ahead with around 20 or so bears waiting at it.

The bears are amazing, but if you've seen this program and the amazing journey the salmon go through, they are equally remarkable.

0:49 is actually a calming scenery.
The water ambience, the small waterfall, the green forest background and the bears chilling and waiting for food.

From the moment they're born, they spend their entire lifetime trying to avoid fishing nets, fishing lures, diseases, predators (killer whales, other species,  mankind, etc.).  Then when their natural life cycle is coming to an end, and they're finally on the way to give life to a new batch of offspring, and battling natures obstacles ever step of the way,  they jump right into the waiting jaws of a bear.  What a life!!

The bears fighting over the best fishing spots and the salmon jumping out to see where the bears are prove how intelligent these creatures are

Salmon live in a real life video game.

If they want to finish the game they have to get past a bunch of really overleveled monsters.

The amount of current pressure and the bears are standing on the water like not ! So amazing 🐻

[timmylowbie]

Blood bath! They had no chance. Those salmon that sacrifice themselves so others may live, i salute you.

[nomadicroadrat]

the photography is extraordinary. Can imagine the amount of time it takes to film just a small segment. Thanks to the BBC for such a program.

[oshinb]

A salmon sacrifices it’s life for it’s brethren to be able to pass through the bears. What a legend that Salmon is!

[c.galindo]

Magnificent. It shows how even though the bears are waiting the salmon are also patient with their time as well.
I really enjoy seeing how nature works together for all the animals

[LuckyOwl_]

This is one of the most beautifully filmed scenes I’ve ever watched. Amazing world we live in.

[Lightnings]

These are original fishermen, the real ones

[garrybaldy]

2:47 "Quite an impressive leap", thinks the grizzly, "I'll let him live"

[thboy]

I always imagine this scene every times I eat fish menu.

[daryl]

bears are so kind for saving all those fish from drowning

[arifali]

This scenes are breathtaking and amazing for any wildlife exploration lover.
