These wonderful photos featuring brown bears fishing for salmon in Katmai National Park, Alaska, were taken by wildlife photographer Michael Nolan. Every summer, salmon swim upstream to spawn in the river between Naknek Lake and Brooks Lake and brown bears wait to catch the fish as they jump out of the water.
