Here's the video of these 2 grizzly bears fighting. These grizzly bears aren't really fighting, just playing around, like 2 friends wrestling. I should've shot more video, but switched to my still cameras for some photos. The bears wrestled and sparred for over an hour, which is pretty unusual for grown adult male grizzly bears, especially this late in the year - they're usually concerned primarily with eating in the fall.
I've photographed both of these boars for nearly 10 years now, it was fun to watch them bump into each other and, like old friends, start to play. Generally, adult male grizzly bears aren't considered to be very sociable toward one another, but I've seen this kind of behavior a number of times.
After they wound down, they went on about their business (catching salmon), in separate directions. A few days later they passed each other again with not so much as a glance toward each other. Who knows what was different about this particular time.
This is from my Grizzlies in the Fall Photo Tour, to Katmai National Park, 2013.
Grizzly bears in this area are also known as brown bears; same species.
Love to hear your thoughts and comments on the video.
Cheers
