A big, bright-eyed Alaskan brown bear, probably a male judging from the large hump, chews a mouthful of grass in a sedge grass meadow. He had just come up into the meadow after crossing a nearby stream, hence the high water mark. Silver Salmon Creek, Cook Inlet, Alaska.

A good stretch and a yawn.
As we all know there's nothing quite like a good stretch and a yawn when you wake up, as this Alaskan brown bear, waking up in a grassy meadow, demonstrates. This bear had been sleeping near the tree line by the shores of Cook Inlet, Alaska.

A sub-adult cub fishes a salmon carcass out of the water. The cubs were getting good at 'catching' dead fish, but not live salmon. The bear seems to be giving the carcass a good inspection to see it it was worth eating. Chilko River, British Columbia.
