The Awe-Inspiring Brown Bear Living in the forests and mountains of northern North America, Europe, and Asia, the brown bear is typically a solitary animal (with the exception of females and their cubs). The world’s largest brown bears are found in costal British Columbia, Alaska, and on islands such as Kodiak. While typically alone, at times these large predators do gather in large groups at prime salmon fishing spots to feast on the fatty fish that helps sustain them through the winter. naturesmomentsuk photo 22 explore:NW | The Official Magazine for kenmore air
