@renkotsuban

Yeah, this is where all those famous photos of bears catching fish in midair are from. It would be great to have playing on a giant screen across from the couch when I need to just zone out.

@Mikal It's so cool, I love how many bears there are! I didn't realize how many fish go flopping upstream tho ahaha, I assumed there'd only be a couple of fish climbing the falls at a time but instead it's a whole crowd and it's CONSTANT haha

@renkotsuban Mesmerized is right 😳 I couldn't stop watching until I was sure they'd all got one 🥹 I wouldn't exactly call it "catching", though - there's so many fish the bears were just basically picking them up 😂

@jwcph YEAH, I was so surprised at how many fish were just flopping up against the falls and bears ahaha, they can just open their mouth and a fish would go flying in 😆

@renkotsuban At times, like when the camera zooms in, it just looks like a churning mass of fish with a bit of water thrown in 😂
