Bear 469 Fight Conversation | Play by Play 9.30.2024 | Brooks Live Chat

On 9.30.2024 we saw a fight that resulted in the death of another bear on our Kats River view camera. This is a difficult situation to witness. We love to celebrate the success of bears with full stomachs and ample body fat, but the ferocity of bears is real. The risks they face are real. Their lives can be hard and their deaths can be painful.

Join park rangers and explore.org’s resident naturalist Mike Fitz for live commentary on the bear and salmon activity at Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska. Watch at 7 p.m. Eastern / 4 p.m. Pacific on the Brooks Live Chat channel.

Every summer, the story of Katmai National Park begins anew as majestic brown bears flock to Brooks Falls to hunt the sockeye salmon fighting their way upstream to spawn. Guiding us in this journey are Katmai's Park Rangers, the unsung heroes of our bear cams and other experts that honor the natural world. Join these learned teachers throughout the season for our series of live chats and lectures from the park.
