Katmai National Park, Alaska...scanned slide. Bears stand on their two rear legs, not as a warning sign, but simply to see better. Fish are plentiful thinks the photographer :-). Even the females are quite tall when they stand on their rear legs.

Thanks Rosa. These animals can be dangerous, but this was at a distance where a 400mm lens was used. I wish I could say at what distance, but this photo was only cropped a small amount wo it couldn't have been terribly far away. Somehow, you get a somewhat false sense of security knowing the fish are plentiful. But whatever you do, don't run as they can see you as being part of the chase and the hunt.(not to mention they can run 35 mph)
