Nutrition

Despite Kamchatka bears are omnivorous, they mainly eat fish which is abundantly present on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Kamchatka is also the spawning ground for Salmon. And of course, thanks to such a wonderful diet, Kamchatka bear is the largest in its genus. Salmon allows the Bear to recover quickly after a long hibernation, and easily gain the necessary supply of fat before wintering. An adult individual is able to eat up to one hundred kilograms of salmon per day. Berries and nuts are widely available in Kamchatka and are also form the basis of the Kamchatka Bear diet during periods when there is no access to fish.

Habitat:

About 95% of the territory of the peninsula (with the exception of highlands and marshy lowlands) is the habitat of the Kamchatka Bear. Kamchatka is one of the few places where the Bear can feel free. Of course, the noise of the city scares away even such a formidable predator, but sometimes curiosity takes over and the bear still comes into residential areas. As a rule, such a visit to residential areas is associated with the search for new food sources. And as a rule, bears addicted to city dumps are shot.

Behaviour:

No enemies and quite comfortable environment, somewhat calmed down the harsh nature of a formidable predator. Kamchatka bears have a good life, so they as a rule are too lazy to show aggression. Curiosity and the search for an easy prey often lead the bear to the tourist campsites. It is so hard to drive away such an uninvented guest. Despite all of the above, we draw your attention to the fact that the bear is a very dangerous predator, especially in the first days after hibernation.
