Alaska’s live bearcam becomes summer hit as brown bears gather at Brooks Falls to catch salmon

A livestream of brown bears catching sockeye salmon at Brooks Falls in Alaska has attracted 7.3 million views this summer, 70% more than last year. The cameras have built a dedicated fanbase that follows individual bears and tracks their feeding habits. The surge comes as large groups of bears gather at the falls, ahead of Katmai National Park’s annual Fat Bear Week.
