His mother was just down stream when he caught this one. She spent a fair amount of time teaching the youngster how to fish. ©Lindy Martin

GRIZZLY BEARS PLAY FIGHTING IN THE WATER

With so much food to eat, these too were totally stuffed and needed to burn off some of the salmon they caught. Play fighting teaches them the skills they need to know to survive bigger bear attacks in the future. ©Lindy Martin

What an incredible sight. Watching grizzly bears fish along a river is something I would love to show everyone. It is just magical. They really don't care about photographers when there is more than enough fish to fill them up. ©Lindy Martin

This was along the Orford River in BC. The two colours of the river is due to glacier water mixing with the river. The colours are gorgeous and the bears just add to the image. ©Lindy Martin

GRIZZLY RUNNING RIGHT AT ME - YIKES

This was one slightly terrifying moment. Wasn't sure if he was after me for lunch or trying to pounce on a fish. Luckily, the fish lost and I won. We were about 6 feet away from this bear when he did the charge. Bear and humans were not hurt in the filming of this image! ©Lindy Martin

This is one animal that I would love to see in his natural habitat. Unfortunately, that is way up in the north and I am not a huge fan of standing still in subzero temperatures. ©Lindy Martin
