I’ve seen a few heated arguments between humans about who has the rights to a honey hole but nothing compares to how grizzly bears resolve disputes about fishing territories.

Check out these two Alaskan grizzlies throwing down to secure a prime positions at one of the richest fisheries in the world, Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park. The bears known as 856 and Walker have a brief battle and I’m not exactly sure who won.

Regardless of the victor, either bear will have a veritable buffet of sockeye salmon to feast on at the foot of the falls as its one of the biggest runs in the world. If you’re interested in visiting Brooks Falls and seeing some of this drama play out first hand GO HERE:
