This is a completely wild bear that has just caught a salmon in the Iwaubetsu River, Shiretoko National Park, Japan.

I can add that they are huge!

After a full day of capturing the vibrant avian life at the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, I was treated to an unexpected and delightful surprise on my way back to the hotel. Nestled among the lush greenery, I crossed paths with this charming feline companion.
The cat's graceful presence amidst the wilderness of the sanctuary was a stark contrast to the feathery friends I had been photographing all day. Its curious eyes and agile movements were a reminder of the diverse and interconnected ecosystems within this remarkable natural sanctuary.
