Katmai Brown Bear Making the Perfect Catch
Bear 775 "Lefty" at Katmai National Park perched at the lip of Brooks Falls, making a perfect mid-air catch. He is one of the older bears at Katmai, who has earned this coveted spot atop the falls. He was rarely challenged by other bears, and was incredibly adept at catching the jumping salmon.
