Too perfect!! Someone made a meme with two bears on the side of Brooks Falls while people were on the platform watching them fish. The sun was in the perfect place for this! πŸ˜‚

Nap time with bears starring Otis! This is an adorable little film of the bears at Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park after filling their bellies with salmon. πŸ’—

These were just posted of the walrus calf that was rescued up on the North Slope in Alaska and is now in the caring hands of the SeaLife Center in Seward, AK. Photos by Chilly Dawgs. The calf is still having some issues with nutrition absorption, but he pooped last night after a 12-hour span without one, so that's good news!

OMG! Watching Otis sleep after filling up on salmon is deeply satisfying and precious.

More snaps from the livecam of Otis. He has awakened, albeit rather slowly, to catch more fish.

From the livecam...Otis is in deep, deep sleep after filling his belly. πŸ’— Watch the bears fishing, eating, napping: https://explore.org/livecams/brown-bears/brown-bear-salmon-cam-brooks-falls

nostr:npub1v2c4n0ngee95pf9jl04yr09altunpqzepl6leshe84h7f9w7vlpqelx8kd It's so fun to watch! And tell your daughter thank you! Names are so much better than numbers.

I took this still of Otis at Katmai Falls. He's there right now looking very tired after consuming 100 pounds of fish in the last 36 hours.

It's Otis!!! He has eaten 100 pounds of salmon in the last 36 hours and he looks exhausted. LIVE NOW!

Excellent news!

"A federal judge has upheld decisions by President Joe Biden and the Department of the Interior that temporarily suspended work needed to open the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling.

In a 74-page order published Monday afternoon, U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason ruled in favor of the federal government and against the state of Alaska, its state-owned development bank and several other plaintiffs.

The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, the development bank, is the sole remaining organization with oil and gas leases in the refuge, purchased during a 2021 sale mandated by Congress.

Monday’s decision means AIDEA cannot proceed with pre-development surveys and other work on its leases. It must await the results of a new environmental assessment expected later this year."
