A large Grizzly bear boar rips apart a chum salmon caught in the upper McNeil River falls at the McNeil River State Game Sanctuary on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. Bears eat the skin first, then the row eggs before devouring the flesh of the salmon. The remote site is accessed only with a special permit and is the world’s largest seasonal population of brown bears.
