This is what a flourishing wilderness looks like.
The internet-famous fat bears of Katmai National Park and Preserve have feasted on prodigious runs of salmon this summer. They've transformed from relatively gaunt animals into impressively fat bears, and Fat Bear Week — the celebration of the bears' success before they hibernate — is still over a month away.

Many of these bears are expert fishers. They have tried-and-true techniques that allow them to catch bounties of 4,500-calorie sockeye salmon — sometimes 15 in just a few hours. Last year's Fat Bear Week champion, "Otis," doesn't waste energy leaping after or chasing fish. He waits, with extreme patience, for fish to pass by. It's clearly a successful strategy for the old bear:
