Kamchatka
Kamchatka Peninsula is a 1,250-kilometer long peninsula in the Russian Far East, with an area of 472,300 km². It lies between the Pacific Ocean to the east and the Sea of Okhotsk to the west. Immediately offshore along the Pacific coast of the peninsula runs the 10,500 meter deep Kuril-Kamchatka Trench.
Kamchatka Bear
Nowhere in Siberia could enormous brown bears be found, but they are very abundant in Kamchatka, home to the densest population of brown bears in the world. Each lake, river and stream is populated by several families of those huge animals. The adult male may weigh up to one ton. They might be comparable to American grizzly bears, though they are not so aggressive and predatory. When salmon spawning time is near, bears from far and wide come to the rivers. They trample paths through the undergrowth, make themselves places to lie down, and patiently await the arrival of the first fish.
