KATMAI NATIONAL PARK, ALASKA: IT WAS NEARLY fishy-cuffs at dawn when this brown bear came within eight-feet of these fishermen trespassing on his patch. Pictures show the impatient bear wasting no time in exerting his authority over the encroachers to his territory. This brown bear definitely didn’t want to share his tasty salmon supply even standing up on his hind legs to show he meant business. Amateur photographer Slava Mylnikov (33) was able to capture this human-bear encounter which lasted up to half an hour at Katmai National Park, Alaska.
