    Bighorn Ram with very atypical horn growth

    It was worrisome to see this poor ram as the horn appeared to be pressing on his eye, but he was healthy and with the herd. He made the local news in 3/2022 and it was explained that wildlife authorities keep an eye on him and will not intervene since he has adapted well to his condition.

    It does not look like this bear is going to even try to catch this salmon, but she does, as seen in the following photo. She knew how to get the job while exerting as little energy as possible. This bear won "The fat bear contest" of Brooks Falls AK in 2018.
