It's a beautiful day in Alaska's Katmai National Park. The snow is melting, the
flowers are blooming, and brown bears are emerging from hibernation. As they emerge from hibernation, the bears are basically greeted by a meal. Sockeye salmon rush up the Brooks River until meeting the falls. Waiting there for their arrival are the group of hungry bears. As the fish jump out of the water one by one the bears all paw at the air to catch them. What's better than some fresh protein when you first wake up?
You can now watch this event take place live using Google Earth's storytelling platform, Voyager. Using Voyager, which came to Google Earth in April, you can receive a virtual tour of the world and learn about other countries, and this voyage to Alaska is the first. Says Digital Trends:
There are five different video feeds to choose from, with three focusing on different spots around the river where brown bears go to hunt. There's even an underwater camera that shows off the creatures' propensity for swimming, and a camera perched high atop Dumpling Mountain that gives a broader view of the surrounding area.
So how about taking a little trip into Katmai National Park and watching the bears enjoy their meal without leaving your bedside?
