This Amphicyon got lucky! It's prey, a large male Oncorhynchus rastrosus already spawned and was in the process of dying.

a little story about seeing the past through the present - featuring razorbill, who is the closest living relative of the great auk, a bird that became extinct not so long ago.

- Native to the Arctic and sub-Arctic region and once numbering millions of individuals, Great auks became extinct mid-19th century. The last breeding pair, found incubating an egg, was killed on 3 June 1844, on request from a merchant who wanted specimens, with Jón Brandsson and Sigurður Ísleifsson strangling the adults and Ketill Ketilsson smashing the egg with his boot. The last individual was seen in 1852, leaving no hope that the species might be extant.

“Crozier was the first victim of the unstable ice. While walking with Parry, Crozier found himself separated from the others by a yawning crack in the ice. The plank was far too short to bridge the gap and swimming in the freezing waters would be suicidal. But Crozier, imperturbable and resourceful, calmly dropped the gear he was carrying and moved up the open lane, finding its narrowest point and where he could see large chunks of ice floating in the flowing water. Steeling himself, Crozier began leaping from floe to floe as lumps of ice bobbed along in the current. After a few perilous leaps, he managed to find more solid ground and cheerfully returned tot he ship unharmed and seemingly untroubled by his near-fatal ordeal.”

"In 2010, the Northwest Passage was largely free of sea ice by 10 August and the two whales moved into the Northwest Passage from opposite directions. Both whales were located in Viscount Melville Sound for more than two weeks in September... It is not known what attracted the whales to this area."
