Day 6 - The Coastal Brown Bear

A coastal brown bear fishing in Spasski Creek. This one was actually recognized by our local guides because of a scar on his butt from a fight he had a couple of years ago.

His name is... Scarbutt. The Al Pacino of the brown bear world. He is one of only two bears that everybody can recognize.

On the island there are about 1000 people (when there are no cruise ships). 80% are Tlingut and we're moved here from Glacier Bay their ancestral home.

There are also over 4000 Coastal Brown Bears, so 4 bears for every person.

There have been no serious bear attacks on your groups for almost 7 years.Læs mere
