A new video initiative is bringing the famed brown bears of Alaska's Katmai National Park directly to your computer or smartphone.
Without having to go there, you can watch as mature bears compete for salmon and cubs tumble over each other as they play. Started Tuesday, a live Web stream allows the public to log on and see the brown bears in their daily activities in their natural habitat.
The project is a partnership with explore.org, which set up four high-definition cameras in Katmai, spokesman Jason Damata told the Associated Press. Three of them are at existing viewing stands where bear fans come to watch the animals.
Click on the link in the quoted text above, to see the salmon swimming upstream, and perhaps catch a few bears while they catch their dinner.
