I visited Brooks Camp at Katmai National Park in Alaska. One day during my visit, when I was watching bears at Brooks falls from the viewing platform, I noticed a costal brown bear being very still while waiting for salmon. I learnt that he was bear #903, nicknamed as "Gully" since he is the only bear to have known to chase and eat seagulls at Brooks. I ran into Gully at the falls multiple times on my trip and he quickly became my favorite bear due to many of his mannerisms like expressing disappointment when missing a catch, the look of glee after successfully catching a fish.
