Bear Searching

EDITION: 500 plus 10 Artist Proofs

SIZE: 16" x 24"

ORIGINAL COPYRIGHT DATE: 1979

PRICE: $140 (photograph only)

A Grizzly (Brown Bear) searches the waters of Brooks River for the last salmon meal of the evening. Katmai National Park.

Once thought a species distinct from the grizzly bear (even though cross-breeding had been observed), brown bears are now considered as grizzlies living along the coastline. But the abundance of protein-rich salmon for countless generations has transformed them into giants (as compared to their berry-eating kindred).

(OK, I'll 'fess up: I was a bear researcher in Katmai during the late '70s)
