Earlier this month we made our annual trek to Denali National Park. While there I took a bus tour into the backcountry.
This photo has obviously been magnified. I wanted to give you a better prospective of what you are viewing in the following video. A Grizzly can run at a speed of 30 MPH. The video was taken from a distance of less than a mile. If my math is correct, that equals one mile in two minutes. Watch carefully: if the bear stops, stands and looks at us, should we proceed more cautiously?
A Mother Moose and her twin calves are confronted by a hungry Grizzly. I’m amazed by the respect and caution the bear displays in its pursuit. Equally awesome is the mother’s ability to end the chase by leading her young to water. Recommend viewing in Full Screen. Just click full screen button (lower right-hand side of picture).
