Fattening up for hibernation by Terry Allen Via Flickr: Kemode bear devouring a salmon on a rock, Gribbell Island, coastal British Columbia. The bears have to eat enough of the fat, nutrient-rich salmon to sustain them for up to 7 months of hibernation when they do not eat. The fall salmon runs, especially in good years, allow the bears to put on enough fat to survive the long hibernation. 23/11/2018 www.allenfotowild.com
