Bears are normally loners, but they have learned to live more or less peacefully with each other here at Katmai. Of course, there are occasional misunderstandings

[BIG]

[BIG] that can lead to moderate-scale war

[BIG].

Occasionally, the war extends to people. Here the 400 lb. 4-year-old that charged me is trying to learn the art of salmon fishing.

He starts by swatting the air [BIG] [BIG]

Then he sticks his head underwater for one minute at a time and hopes a fish will swim right into his mouth [BIG].

Finally, he catches one by pure luck [BIG] on the wrist [BIG] between the elbows [BIG] and then he loses it [BIG].
