Exploring the Bear Country of Alaska
There are few places in the world that is filled as thin as Alaska. Large parts of the country are still going through dominated the animal world. This also applies to the vast Katmai National Park in the true south from Alaska, where the landscape of glaciers and volcanoes, some of which are still active is marked. At the bottom of the plates of Aleutan Range, which are up to 2,000 meters, lies the flat and stormy Shelikof Strait. The inaccessible coastline is a paradise for animals. This is bear country.
Our boat - a former research vessel - is our base camp and we are present in the Hi Bay anchor. At the moment the tide is out, and a bear wanders along the beach looking for shells. It is an "Alaskan Brown Bear," as the animals are called along the coast.
A subspecies of brown bears living in the heart and is called "Grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilis). It is much smaller than the bears on the coast and is known that people are over aggressive. This happens especially when people are not with the rules during the stay must be respected in their territory. In these cases, accidents involving Grizzlies make for horror stories and headlines from time to time.
In general, however, Grizzlies - just like the big brown Bears on the coast - shy and quiet creatures who love their peace about everything. Petz is our master, especially in the "Razor Clam" interested. With its sense of smell, she studied under the sand, the shells of up to 15 inches and dig them out. But it has to hurry, because the shell noticed the danger and undermines rapidly in unreachable depths. When it lands a shell, it opens the shell with teeth and claws.
Two years ago, when we with the bears at McNeil, were on Kodiak and Katmai, warned the people at Brooks Camp are strongly of the wild coast, where we are. They told us that there is a very large number of large and very dangerous animals. And what we found on the rugged West Coast of Shelikof Strait? On the beach there were bears in search of shells and on the grassland peacefully grazing bears. We never had problems with them.
Certainly there are rules of conduct in Bear Country. Food or in the vicinity of the tent is an absolute No-No. Also, toothpaste, lotions and cosmetics, an irresistible attraction. are the distances of 50 yards to a single animal was observed and 100 meters on a mother bear justified by a young animal. In the well-attended Brooks Camp, see, for example, how people focus on the respect distance. The rule of the people, but the Brownies observed, not comply with it!
As we round a corner we are wrong, standing in front of a huge green lawn. Bears! I count them surprised: Eighteen bears on the meadow! We are cautiously approaches an animal on the outside, in front of a steep, overgrown rocks from which the water is rushing into long threads. The large Brown Bear chooses the most tender grass. When she noticed us, it is slowly approaching us. A fox is over quickly with a bird in the mouth. Regardless, looks the bear, after it. Then it focuses on us again, but in the end the grass seams to be more interesting to the bear: slow it trod back to his rock.
The rain has stopped, the sun comes out - but again only for a short time. We spend hours of rest in the river, surrounded by bears.
The boat is already waiting for us. In the night we anchored near the Shakun Rock.
The weather forecast does not sound good, and we have the island in heavy See more leave in the late afternoon. The wind force is constantly increasing, and we are glad when we reach the Kukak Bay. We go very deep into the bay, anchoring in a protected Place where the storm is raging already on the open sea. The Shelikof Strait is notorious. On board, I read in a report that year, with 23 days per month storm, with waves of three, six or even ten meters. We spend two days in this place in rain and wind. There is a brief improvement in the weather for it, and a small seaplane can pick us up. Despite the bad weather in the Shelikof Strait, we know a unique landscape, rich fauna and flora.
What with the big bears in Alaska, hundreds of meetings them we have only reached placid animals. We have met with McNeil, on Kodiak, the Brooks River, Katmai "hinterland" and the Shelikof Strait. embody for us it untouched wilderness and they fascinate us enormously.
Nevertheless, one should never forget that the bears are extremely powerful and fast animals. A upright brown bear can reach a height of three meters. Kodiak is on, the animals weighing up to 800 kilograms! In an attack at close range, have people a chance. The Bears learned that we know had a good, rich food supply. Also they were not spoiled by man. Perhaps these circumstances a Impact on their peaceful conduct.
For the Grizzlies in the domestic food supply is much worse. Their living conditions are harsh. One of the basic safety rules neglect can have serious consequences on their territory. Fatal attacks on humans in the Yellowstone and Glacier National Park to document this insistently. With all the fascination - It is always advisable in these animals.
