Researchers at Washington State University and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game are using collar cams to study a remote population of grizzly bears on Alaska's North Slope. Twelve bears have been equipped with cameras, capturing their daily activities like playing, hunting and foraging. The footage shows bears eating caribou carcasses, hunting calves, and later shifting to berries and vegetation. These Arctic grizzlies are smaller than their salmon-fed counterparts, weighing up to 350 pounds. The study aims to understand their diet and survival strategies, with plans to expand the research to 36 bears over the next two years.
