The fish are jumping this summertime in Katmai National Park and our new Underwater Live Bear & Salmon Cam gives you every angle of action.
Salmon “live in the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and are anadromous, which means most types of salmon are born in fresh water, migrate to the sea, and return to freshwater to reproduce, or ‘spawn.’ Salmon appearance varies greatly from species to species.
If you’ve enjoyed watching the exciting adventures of Otis, Grazer, Backpack, Holly and Beadnose – and the extraordinary views of Katmai’s National Park & Preserve – then we invite you to dig a little deeper with bear experts, Rangers Roy and Mike.
Join us this afternoon (Thursday, July 24) at 5 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time (6 p.m. Pacific / 9 p.m. Eastern) for a live chat with Rangers Roy and Mike where you can learn more about their field notes, ask questions about what you see on camera or about bears in general, and connect with other bear watchers from around the world.
And join them again tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. Alaska Daylight Time (11 a.m. Pacific / 2 p.m. Eastern) for field notes, which is when they take a microphone and a mobile cam – and YOU! – into the field with them.
There will be more opportunities to join live chats and field notes in the future, and we’ll post highlights and recaps on our YouTube channel so you can get caught up.
We always want to hear from you! Share your snapshots on Twitter using #bearcam, or on ourFacebook page.
