Explore Bears & Bison's video: The Extraordinary Life of Salmon Brooks Live Chat

Pacific salmon are born in freshwater, grow large in the sea, and return to their place of birth to spawn and die. Their uncommon lives have extraordinary consequences for the ecosystems they inhabit. Join explore.org's resident naturalist Mike Fitz and Katmai National Park rangers as they introduce you to the amazing lives of Pacific salmon, the heartbeat of Bristol Bay's culture and ecology. Every summer, the story of Katmai National Park begins anew as majestic brown bears flock to Brooks Falls to hunt the sockeye salmon fighting their way upstream to spawn. Guiding us in this journey are Katmai's Park Rangers, the unsung heroes of our bear cams and other experts that honor the natural world. Join these learned teachers throughout the season for our series of live chats and lectures from the park.
